Sewing belts

Beltmaking 101. Finally–the long-awaited beltmaking tutorial! Way I make my fabric-covered belts has been learned from a mix of trial-and-error and vintage manuals. The supplies are simple, and making a simple pass-through belt is quite easy. I have, however, included instructions for how to add a pronged buckle to a belt and add eyelets. I hope you enjoy, and as usual feel free to ask any questions in the comments! Supplies: 1″ wide stiff belting (available at JoAnns), 1/4 yard fabric at least 45″ wide, buckle for 1″ belt (see sources at the end), pattern paper, thread, scissors, ruler, pins.

Begin by measuring your waist and adding 6″ to 8″ inches to the length (I tend to err on the side of more, especially for a belt using a pronged buckle). Cut the belting the length of your waist plus the extra. Using the paper pattern, cut one layer of your fabric. Fold the fabric around the belting, wrong sides out. Gently work the seam to the center of the belting width, and press seam open. Butterfly Sleeve Tunic (For Women & Girls) First of all…….let me tell you a story. I grew up in AZ. I guess that will stick with me forever because I still really stink at driving on the snow/ice. Here’s what happened to my poor victim of a car this morning. Sad day. I dropped Elli off at school and on my way home on our neighborhood streets, I was turning a corner (driving maybe 10-15 mph) and the icy road totally forced me into the curb. Forced me, I tell you. ;) image from my instagram account Poor car. Onto other things, how about that poll you guys have been voting on?

Okay, whew…..onto the real post of the day. And this is something that’s for girls of all ages. This knit fabric top, has a very slight elastic empire line (which is optional), that cinches in…..giving the top more shape. It’s doesn’t have a lot of complicated pieces or need crazy sewing techniques. And the style of it is simple, cozy, and forgiving. With arms out, you can see……just two pieces. Believe it or not, Elli actually asked me to make this for her. TECHNIQUES.

Techniques

Repurpose: Tanks, Skirts & T-Shirts. The heat is on in Chicago this year! And yes, I have summer clothes. But not enough of them (!) And... I kinda, sorta, hate most of what I have. So I've been thinking of ways to chop up old skirts, stained tank tops, too-big-for me shorts. This means I've been looking around and now I'm really inspired!

In this version, the tank is joined to an old curtain to create a cute new dress! Hot pink skirt becomes ... a hot dress! A variation on the TripOverJoy dress pictured above: An old T-shirt is joined to a knit-fabric skirt to create an awesome dress... tutorial care of PoldaPop Designs Dull t-shirt becomes a much less dull top ... Simple brown t-shirt gets some shape and a little orange pop care of Amie Almostly annoyingly simple... so effective. Your tired old tank and his (your?) Baggy old t-shirt turns into ... this! Amazingly creative refashion! An old grey skirt gets a sassy, halter makeover... This cute skirt was created from an old pair of pants This skirt, from an old t-shirt.

Etsy. Eric Joyner. DIY Vinyl Wall Art. I live in an apartment and dig doing large-scale art. Apartments, however, are usually a pain to paint and then paint to cover-up your awesome paint, and an especially big pain when you move around as often as I do. I do like having bright, interesting spaces, so I was brainstorming on creating a large art piece that I could maybe mount on the wall, or other types of removable decor, and the universe smiled on my with inspiration from one of my favorite blogs: Nest did a neat post on using contact paper to make wall decals. With contact paper as my medium, a Tim Burton-esque / Tokyo Plastic vision of swirls, and a hot afternoon (or AC busted that weekend with temps in the 90s!) , I was ready to start doin' some art!. This is my very first instructable, and I hope you enjoy it.

I know you think you do, but really, you don’t. So I’m here to help you make more. Two things influenced the creation of this DIY charm bracelet. 1) I’ve been trying to spice up my wardrobe, as I mentioned a few months ago and 2) Plaid has new Mod Podge products!

The fancy new products include new formulas as well as Podgeables, which are fun surfaces to decoupage on. The line includes these charms. I’m always skeptical about new product in general.

Sharing Your Own Images Who can share images? You! What should I share? What shouldn't I share? Tutorial. DIY Sparkly Statement Necklace. About a month ago I took a little trip to the trimmings shops in the Fashion District that I discovered over 3 years ago. (Ermg. Serious chuckles at that post from my first time in NYC.) I found this incredible collar necklace base tucked away in one of the boxes in the shop and I was really drawn to it. I've been really envious of my roommate Adele's statement necklace that she bought at this consignment shop in Princeton, NJ last spring. When I saw the collar base in the trimmings shop, I decided to try and make my own statement necklace.

To make the necklace I collected some of my broken necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and sparkly beads that I had kept over the years. I laid them all out and eliminated the ones that didn't fit with the necklace vibe I was going for. One thing that I found really helpful when I was making the necklace was using rhinestone trim to outline the sides + design. Very much into the sparkly antique aesthetic right now. :) Also pairs with fox shirts. Patchwork Felted Bag.

They are the exact same pillow pattern - just with different fabric combinations, and one with a ruched flower embellishment. Clever mixing and matching isn't just for your clothes closet.
