A few weeks ago, I decided to make my girls some new folders to take with us out on our reef trips. They both LOVE drawing and writing, and always take paper and pens with us - which end up blowing and rolling around the boat! So I made them one each of these: They open out to this.. To make them I managed to finally make use of a little of this massive pile of stiff cardboard... (There are 100 pieces of card - with dots on!! So, as you can see - I could make LOTS of these fabric folders!! I also used some of these exercise books., which I've bought hundreds of over the past few years as they're sold for 1c each in the 'back to school sales' and I just can't resist a bargain!. The girls love using theirs, having chosen their own fabric from my stash -( Bratz and ballerinas).

And they did turn out perfect for our boat trips! This fairy one I made today, and also did a photo tutorial. If you're interested in the 'how to', I've made the tutorial as a free PDF download, available if you Jill. Bed pockets - a tutorial. A while ago I made some pink bed pockets for my daughter's beds, for them to store some of their many books in: They proved to be a big hit - my girls love hanging over the side of their beds to choose a book - and even now - months later, they still put them away in them!!

That has got to be a bonus! At the time, several people asked if I had a tutorial for these pockets. Well finally, I got around to making up a tutorial, as I decided to make more pockets for the spare bedroom bed to accomodate the girls growing book collection!! So here finally is the tutorial: First you need to choose your fabric, and cut the following: Main fabric:85cm x 40cm (33.5 x 15.75”) Top flap: 15cm x 40cm (6 x 15.75”) Inside drawer magic grip: 20cm x 34cm (8 x 13.5”) Stitch in velcro 10cm piece.(4”) First of all take the top flat piece and make all 4 edges neat by double turning them and stitching: Then stitch one side of the velcro piece centrally and close to one one edge: down from the finished edge. There you go!

Make a Custom Pair of Tap Pants @Craftzine.com blog - StumbleUpon. By Haley Pierson-Cox For me, summer in NYC means two things: 1) I will eventually wear a light skirt into the subway when my hands are full, and 2) on that day, when I step onto the stairs of the station, a gust of wind will come barreling up from below, lifting my skirt and showing my backside to anyone who cares to look. This year, on the very first nice day, my skirt flew up not once, but twice. In the same commute. Grumbling and scrambling to pull it down, it hit me: I definitely needed a pair of tap pants. In case you’re not familiar, tap pants work like a slip, but they’re actually shorts, making them the perfect solution to my summer skirt woes.

I’m pretty sure that every gal with a skirt and the chance of a breeze needs a pair! Materials: Directions Step 1: Create the front pattern To get started, use a measuring tape to take the following measurements. Step 3: Cut out your pattern pieces and arrange them on fabric that has been folded in half with right sides facing. Related. Creative Guest: Sarah at Welcome to the Good Life. WOO HOO! Call me a big nerd but my heart's pounding because i'm so excited and honored to be here!!! My name is Sarah and i keep a blog over at Welcome to the gOOd life. it's a diary written by me (and sometimes by my hilarious husband) of the good and the ugly as a wife, a stay at home mom, raising two kids under three-just a year apart, and also my weekly DIY sewing projects. so should we get on to my DIY project?

Inspiration: squeezebox top from anthropologie picture from an anthropologie review blog. i think i literally gasped when i saw this top online. i instantly fell in love and knew i had to have it! I bought 2 white shirts, one in xs which is my size and one in large. i got the large shirt in round neck for more fabric while i got the xs in a scoopneck. you'll need: 2 shirts scissors matching thread pins estimated time: 1-2 hrs. project cost: very reasonable(mine was $8 for both shirts) skill level: advanced beginner to intermediate 3. take one of the piece and begin making the pleates. 4. Circle skirt calculator - for the drafting of full, half and 3/4 skirts. With bonus grading worksheet! | The Snug Bug - StumbleUpon. Special Sunday greetings you naked molerats! Since you’re so naked, I thought you might want to make yourselves some nice little circle skirts. And perhaps, like me, you find yourself with little mole rat patterns just a touch on the small side.

But the grading of a circle skirt isn’t so easy, is it you naked rodents? Oh no, not so easy at all… OK. Recently I’ve been plotting about two separate circle-skirt related issues in my head. For molerats who are unfamiliar with circle skirts, here’s the difference between the three styles. For a much more interesting comparison, here’s a full circle skirt. {image Whirling Turban} Here’s the oh, so lovely three-quarter circle skirt. And a slightly pixelated half circle skirt… {image Get Go Retro} The other circle-skirt related problem I’ve been mulling over has to do with grading up circle skirts. OK, I admit I usually grade up my circle skirts the ‘wrong’ way. My problem is (hopefully) solved! Okee dokee. Whew! OK! There we have it!
