La Cotte Simple. DIY Galaxy Designer leggings tutorial. Do you need those designer leggings that look like a space galaxy but just can't justify paying over $100 for? Then this is the Tutorial for you!! For my first effort at trying to get this effect I think I almost got it. I have seen a couple of DIY Galaxy tights online but I didn't think they achieved the right look. So an experimentation was in order :) I have not used bleach like other tut's, I am not even sure bleach would work well on these shiny wet look leggings and black always goes orangish when bleached so I wanted to avoid that.
Above is the finished result. Below is a basic picture tutorial on what I did to get this designer look, click to make it bigger as for some reason blogger wont let me fucking get the picture full size :) I have also taken a video but I do not have time to edit and upload tonight so I will try to post it tomorrow. I watched this Youtube video for inspiration and and basic tips. Supplies needed - plastic glad wrap - gloves - shiny Black leggings. How to make a reversible jersey Cardigan.

TUTORIALS - circle skirt, pixie skirt, flounce hems. That's it! Now you should have one big donut. laying flat, the inner circle will measure 36", but when you open it up and stretch it out a bit, it should be closer to the 40" measurement that we want. measure it just to make sure, and if you need to make it a little bigger, go ahead. just take a sliver off that inner circle to make it a little bigger. go slow, because like I said before, too big is harder to fix than too small. attach it to your dress, skirt, or waistband, and you're done.
NOTE: depending on the size of your donut and the length you want your skirt to be, you might need to cut your donut into sections. you might need to make it in 2 sections (so you'll have 2 half donuts, which you can then sew together) or 4 sections. if you want to see it in action, look at the examples. the 2nd skirt (the stripey Misfits one) is cut into 4 sections. you can see the 2 front panels in the photo. keep reading for variations on the circle skirt...

This T-shirt transformation project is my favorite of the accessories in my first book.

DIY Dress Form - Blue Duct Tape. This is my first topic so please bear with me I'm very excited about how well the dress form turned out and just wanted to share it with you all!

I used-100m of bright blue gaffa/duct/duck tape (about £10 from eBay- you can use any colour of course!) 1 black bag/sackClingflim A pair of scissors About 3Kg of stuffing and a lovely patient assistant! If you are going to give this a go make sure you have a drink nearby and tie your hair up before you start if it will come into contact with your dress form as you won’t be able to lift you arms up very easily ....or walk very far! I put on a black bag bin liner, with arm and neck holes cut roughly into the top. It took about 2hours to wrap (having never tried it before it was a bit of trial and error to begin with!). The proud man- And he says he isn't crafty! Tutorial for my homemade packing tape dressform.
Before you begin, you MUST have another person with you to help with this project.First, get your materials ready. Your going to need:-a roll of brown packing tape. 1 side has dry glue on it & it sticky when wet. I bought a huge roll for about 7 bucks at Office Depot. The beauty of using the paper tape is that it shapes itself after drying like instant paper mache strips. And later on you can put pins through it without lots of sticky residue getting on your sewing pins. -scissors-a spray bottle with water-a rag or sponge [not necessary]-an old fitted t-shirt that you are willing to sacrifice to this project. The shirt should be as close fitting as possible and not too thick or textured. Before you begin taping, it helps to prepare a bunch of cut pieces in different sizes. The trick is to use smaller strips for curvier areas like breasts, collar bones, neck, and larger strips for flatter areas like the small of your back and your shoulders. alls of the strips should be fairly skinny.
Predazzled Ombre' Dip-Dye Top. I was lucky enough to find a white "pre-dazzled" cotton blousey number on a mega sale rack that was just screaming for a color bath! With a new pair of rubber gloves and a simple, yet quite elegant dip-dye, I'm so ready to hit the town! Here's how I did it: I decided to accent the the fab rhinestone-y neckline with the deepest purple shade of the ombre´ and then let the color gradually fade down to just a hint of leftover sugar plum sweetness at the hemline.
Sounds lovely, huh? Yet it's so easy, it's almost a fashion crime. All I did was mix up some Rit Purple Dye following the package instructions with 2 gallons of very hot water in a plastic container. The top I prewashed to remove sizing or whatever else might interfere with the fabric absorbing the dye. I lowered the top third into the dye bath for about 10 minutes, gently moving it back and forth. When I removed the top from the dye, it's rinsed under cool running water. Dyeing with Bleach. No fancy equipment, no dangerous chemicals.
Removing color with bleach may be the easiest surface-design technique yet.

I wanted to get together a few photos of items made with my fabrics, and coin pouches seemed like the perfect way to use up those little scraps I was starting to accumulate.
And, a perfect time for another tutorial! The pattern is something I made up for this project, just a simple way to put together a small zippered pouch. It's nothing fancy, but something you can easily stitch together in about 30 minutes, and a great way to use up those small pieces of fabric. (The finished pouch is about 4" x 3.25") Let's get started... 1) You'll want two 5"x7" pieces of fabric and a zipper that is at least 9" long with plastic teeth. 2) Sew the two pieces of fabric together, with right sides facing one another. 3) Flip the fabric right-side-out and use a chopstick or pencil to poke the corners outward. 4) Pin one of the narrow ends of the fabric to the zipper, with the fabric you are using for the outside of the pouch facing the front. 5) Wrap the fabric around the zipper and line up the other end.
