Tuto3-jupe-british-byclm. THE SUN WAS HIGH: DIY // Galaxy Jeans. I don't want to enter in a "I liked galaxies before it was cool to like them" monologue, but I've always been obsessed with outer space! My brother and I used to visit the local library and borrow tons of books about galaxies, spaceships and planets. The obsession stuck and now, even my design portfolio is filled with space-inspired pieces. There is something so fascinating and mysterious about coloured clouds, planets and stars... Galaxy print clothes have gained phenomenal popularity over the last three years, but oddly enough, they never made it to the racks of affordable chain stores. You'll need: - A pair of black jeans. . - A spray bottle filled with two parts bleach (javel) and one part cold water - Some acrylic paints. . - An old toothbrush - A sponge - Little containers/plates to mix the paint WARNING: As you can see, the pictures show both sides of the jeans.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DIY JEANS: As long as you are careful while washing them, the paint should not come off. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Also, it is next to impossible to find modest skirts that I like, and it’s much cheaper to just make one if you can score some pretty fabric on sale or at a thrift store!

白布鞋变布洛克鞋,不是能工巧匠还真不行。_来自喵小啊的图片分享-堆糖网. 8. Shrinky Bracelet. If you grew up in the 80's, like I did, you're probably already familiar with the awesomeness that is Shrinky Dinks...but did you know that you can still buy Shrinky Dinks? Yep, they're still out there - in craft stores, hobby shops, and even on Amazon. But you don't have to buy a Shrinky Dink kit to have all the fun. Just look for #6 plastic containers and you can make your own! There is a great tutorial on Instructables (courtesy of Dabbled) with all the instructions for making your own shrinky projects from #6 plastic containers, so I won't go into too much detail here.

Most of this post is actually about turning these awesome little pieces of plastic into a sweet bracelet (and bonus pendant) to give to mom for Mother's Day. (Attention Dads: This project involves permanent markers, melting plastic, and tools...and your kids will think it's totally cool.) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Use a pair of pliers to open the rings. 8. Cute, right? Milanese Stitch Pouch. Metallic copper accents set off a monochromatic zip pouch that’s the perfect size for business cards, ID/credit cards, cash, or coins. It zips on two sides so you have much easier access into it than you would otherwise.

The triangular pattern shown is traditionally known as ‘Milanese Stitch’ and is a common stitch in Berlin Work. Supplies: - 14 count white Aida cloth - embroidery floss in 2 colors (2 skeins per color) - metallic machine embroidery thread – this is copper colored Gutermann and I love it - 7″ zipper - fray check - lining fabric - sewing thread - needle with large eye - ordinary sewing needle To accommodate a 7 inch zipper I made my pouch 4 inches by 3 inches. Fray Check the edges so they don’t unravel as you work. Place pins at the corner 1/2 inch or 7 threads from the corner so you know where to start stitching. All of the stitches are worked diagonally. Start stitching following the stitching pattern shown in the photos: The filled piece will look like this. Zipper Card Pouch. Have you ever had too many cards that your wallet can handle?

Be selective and get only those cards that you might be using in a particular shopping mall but end up they were the wrong one? Or, may be just forgot to “update” the cards in the wallet on your next trip? Can’t find the cards you thought you have already put into your wallet? Sounds familiar….. If you are nodding your head now, you need a pouch for the cards just like me. I am not a big fan of big wallet, with the increasing numbers of cards that I have, my decent size wallet is no longer able to buckle up. Sometimes, I just temporary placing the card in my purse’s pocket but I forgot about it later. This zipper pouch can hold up to 30 plastic cards (similar to credit cards), and more for thinner cards, business calling card for example. Get the pattern and tutorial to sew one yourself after the jump and don’t have to struggle with the cards anymore. {Get pattern and tutorial on next page.} Pages: 1 2 Get all updates via email: Un carnet sans pages. Read this post in: Anglais Aujourd’hui, comme promis, un tuto pour ces deux petites bourses en cuir.

Elles sont très faciles à faire (aucune couture !) Et bien pratiques pour ranger monnaie, bijoux, pinces à cheveux et élastiques… Et tous ces trucs de fille qui traînent au fond des sacs ! On peut les faire avec ou sans pompons, en cuir ou dans d’autres matières (mais je déconseille le tissu fin parce que c’est trop mou, ça n’a plus de forme). Alors alors, les instructions : Matériel : - Du cuir ou simili (on trouve de très beaux cuirs sur ebay. . - Du tissu pour faire un essai avant (histoire de ne pas se louper sur la taille) - Une perforatrice pour cuir (environ 10 € sur eBay, et ça ressert tout le temps ! - Une bonne paire de ciseaux - Du lacet (cuir, ruban, ce que vous voulez) - De la colle pour cuir, si on choisit de faire les pompons 1) télécharger le patron. 2) découper suivant le patron et percer les trous. 3) Faire passer le lacet dans les trous.

{tutorial: how to sew a zippered pouch} - StumbleUpon. Two years ago I was learning how to sew in a zipper to make a pouch and I was failing! Failing! Failing! At understanding how to do it. If you know me in real life {hi, mom!} , you can probably guess I was thinking to myself “why?” And that number is not an exaggeration. Anyways :] I thought it would be fun {and helpful} to do a tutorial post on installing a zipper, which coincidentally includes how to sew a zipped pouch. Shall we get started? MATERIALS: * front & back outside pieces of fabric {mine are 9″ x 5″} * front & back inside pieces of fabric {9″ x 5″} * two pieces of interfacing or felt {9″ x 5″} * a 10″ zipper * sewing machine * coordinating thread, to match your outside fabric * scissors * optional: embellishment for your zippered pouch INSTRUCTIONS: The first step is to lay flat the front outside piece of fabric {with a pouch, you’ll have front & back outside pieces and front & back inside pieces}.

When you’re finished sewing the zipper in it will look like this ~ All done! MADE: TUTORIAL: the Circle Skirt. I used to think that a gathered skirt was the easiest skirt to sew. But I may have changed my tune. A circle skirt is possibly even easier! ….especially if you leave the elastic exposed. If you’ve ever made a poodle skirt before, it’s the same concept. Your fabric is cut in a circle, like a donut. Then the elastic is sewn on top to create a waistband. The circle hangs right at your waist and allows the fabric to drape beautifully around you. Once you’ve created your pattern, you can whip up 4 skirts in an hour! Okay, let’s get started. What you need (for a little girl’s skirt): * about 1 yard of fabric* appx 3/4 yard of 2-inch wide elastic FABRICS to use:* Rayon* Polyester Charmuese* Simple Cotton* Thin Corduroy* Lightweight WoolMany fabrics will work for this project.

ELASTIC:Wide elastic from fabric stores typically comes 2 inches or 3 inches wide; white or black in color.
