You can see I've put different straps on each of these. one has an elastic wrist strap and the other has a snap fastened strap so that I can hook it on the Ergo.

I had the opportunity to be a Creative Guest at Ucreate last month. The tutorial I shared was for a Quilted Tablet PC Cover. I wanted to re-post the tutorial on my blog in case you missed it A Tablet PC has been on my wish list for quite a while.
With the money I saved combined with some Christmas cash, I was finally able to buy one! I've bought a few accesories for my tablet. I looked around on Amazon, but I wasn't finding anything I liked online. Here is how I made the tablet cover: Material needed : -2 Fabric pieces, one for the outside and one for the inside. First, you need to determine the width to cut your fabric. Width of the device + the depth of the device + 2.5 inches For me those numbers were 10.25 + .5 + 2.5. I could give you a long mathematical computation for the length of fabric needed, but it will be a lot easier if you just cut the fabric to 3.5 times the length of your device. Next, cut your second fabric piece to the same dimensions as the first piece.

I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven.

But let me explain a little better. First, you’ll work on the left side. And that’s it. This post is sponsored by: Labels and printables. The Madeleine Mini Bloomers. Hello! I keep forgetting to post this so here it is. I've been wanting to sew a romper (or few) for this summer but I figured I should start with the shorts and once I had those down, graduate to the romper. So I started with these guys, and then I did non-pajama shorts, so I guess the romper is next! These were incredibly easy and gave me the courage to keep going. For some reason I thought even PJ shorts might get somewhat complicated, but I was wrong. These are definitely beginner friendly. You can download the pattern for free here. p.s.

If you read A Pair & A Spare like I do, then recently you may be experiencing a intense need to dye something. Particularly, in a gradient and ombre fashion I didn’t do a pictorial step-by-step for this since it was my first time using fabric dye and it was quite a messy affair.
However, if you have a look at this post by Geneve of A Pair and A Spare for Harpers Bazaar , she gives comprehensive instructions. 1. A) Create three dye mixtures of equal amounts. B) Dip the shirt in the main mixture to the desired maximum height for a minute. c) Pour one of the set aside mixtures into the main mixture. d) Dip shirt into the topped up mixture to midway of previous dip for two minutes. e) Pour the last mixture into the main mixture. f) Dip shirt into the final mixture to midway of the previous dip for five minutes. 3. 4.

And you’re done. On the Cheap: Scrapbook Paper iPhone Covers. I found this clever trick on Pinterest the other week from Oops I Craft My Pants and had to try it for myself: iPhone covers using scrapbook paper! Now when I had my first cell phone in high school (the old Nokia), I probably had about 15 different cell phone covers that I would switch out to match my clothes everyday! I figure this scrapbook paper iPhone phone cover is an easy way to update my phone without spending all the cash! First thing I did was purchase a couple sheets of scrapbook paper from Michael’s. I also purchased a clear iPhone 4 cover from Best Buy.
You could really purchase any cheap clear phone cover, but I wanted one with protective rubber sides since I’m a klutz and always drop my phone! First thing I did was trace the scrapbook paper around the iPhone cover to get the basic shape. I cut out the main section just using a pair of scissors. For the camera hole I used a pencil to sketch in the hole that I had to cut out using an exacto knife…. and that’s about it! Tiny Polaroid Magnets | { Ambrosia Girl } Hi there! It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!)
I haven’t felt like myself. But nothing like inspiration to wake one out of a reverie — or nightmare, in my constantly sick state. I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar. The idea of mini Polaroids dotting my fridge sounded cute to me. You will need: Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnetsOpaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white) Craft knife Metal straight edge/ruler Clear packing tape or frisk film.
