Circle Skirt From An Old Sheet. Five Minute Brimmed Beanie. I have a fun quick tutorial for you today. It started out as an experiment. I saw $1 cuffed beanies at Walmart and wondered if I could add a brim to them to make them look a little bit like these Colombia brand ones. It wasn’t perfect but turned out pretty cute. It really does take just a few minutes.
Take your $1 beanie. Cut out a brim from a plastic yogurt container. Cuff the hat how you want it and pin around one side to keep it in place. Leave the other side open and slip the bill in. Now pin this side closed as well. Pushing the bill so it protrudes straight out and using this stitch… Stitch across the top of the bill or right above it. This first time was okay but I wanted to fix the sides. And that’s it! See how the cuff goes all the way around just like the original? My oldest wanted to try it on too. Walmart also sells adult beanies just like these for $2! Otherwise these beanies are great for around town and running errands with mom. :) .MY DIY PROJECTS AND TUTORIALS.

Logan of Supernaturale has posted instructions how to make a pair of homemade undies out of your favorite old tees. Logan says, "I know you've got them, lurking in drawers, the back of the closet, in the "giveaway" pile: those T-shirts that are, for various reasons, both unwearable and indispensable.
They are too small, too big, too short, have a stain, a hole, or some other flaw, and yet you cannot bear to part with them. I took my old t-shirts and gave them new life. They were reincarnated as underwear. " Clever idea. Makes a good gift, or a nice surprise for whomever happens to see you in your underwear... Patterns pictured below (women's undies + men's boxers).
