D.I.Y. Passport Cover. I haven’t done a sewing D.I.Y. project in a while so I thought I’d show how I make passport covers. I used to make these a lot but I kind of forgot about them for a while. However, since the holidays are coming up I thought I’d bring out my old gift giving (or stocking stuffer) patterns so I can have those ready for Christmas. I tweaked this pattern a little by adding some satin ribbon to keep the sleeve closed at all times + I think it’s just a really cute touch.
What you’ll need for this project: Sewing machine Cotton fabric (2 types) Fusible interfacing Ribbon Thread Scissors Homemade pattern Step 1: Cut the main part of your pattern to 8 ¾” x 6 ½” in size, and cut another piece of paper (the side flaps) to 2 ½” x 6 ½” in size. Step 2: Cut 1 main passport cover piece using your outer fabric and 2 flap pieces. …you’ll end up with this: Step 3: Cut the same pieces using your fusible interfacing.
Step 4: Cut 1 main passport cover piece using your lining fabric. Step 6: prepare your ribbon pieces. Raechel Myers | Finding My Feet | Sewing 101. , LOUNGE-Y. LOUNGE-Y The last time I made a pair of leggings with this pattern, they were a bit, um, flashy. This time around I opted for a really lounge-y grey rib knit. And I’ve pretty much been living in them around the apartment ever since. I knew they would never make it to an outfit post, giving the lounge factor. So I grabbed the tripod (and Henry, too) and documented them on a snowy morning. leggings handmade using Megan Nielsen’s Virginia pattern. Easy, affordable lace boot socks . how to-sday. Months ago, I kept seeing these boot socks all over Pinterest. They're completely perfect - crocheted, soft-looking, tall, and lined with just a hint of lace.
I thought they'd be perfect peeking out of a pair of boots, but alas, I can't justify £48 for a pair of socks - no matter how cute! Naturally, I decided to make my own, and I'm quite pleased with how they turned out (though I still wouldn't mind having that schmancy pair, either...)! P.S.

We’re taking a slight posting break over the holidays, but to celebrate the upcoming New Year, we’ll be bringing you the best and most popular posts of the past year. If the winter weather and indoor heating is taking a toll on your skin, try these DIY Sugar Scrubs to get things back into shape! ~ wht photos: we heart this For beauty lovers on a budget, one of the hardest things to give up is high-end skin care and treatments. Skipping a day at the spa and indulging in some at-home treatments can be one option for trimming that budget…until the reality of the price tag on the at-home spa products kicks in. Luckily, one doesn’t need to shell out the big bucks on brand name sugar scrubs to treat dry, flaky, stressed skin. Another perk when going DIY is the ability to completely customize the sugar scrub to suit the users wants, needs and tastes.

Read more to see how to make your own patterned tights. Supplies: tights, acrylic paint, fabric medium, sponge paintbrush, heart punch, adhesive vinyl or contact paper. Step 1: Punch out a LOT of hearts (or any other shape) from a piece of adhesive vinyl or contact paper. I punched out a little more than 50 hearts from a couple of vinyl scraps. Step 2: Cut around each heart 'negative' (aka not the actual punched heart, but the hole it leaves behind). Step 3: Place your cut outs on your tights in whatever pattern you'd like.
Step 4: At some point, insert paper strips into your tights to keep the paint from bleeding through to the other side. Step 5: Apply your paint + fabric medium mixture (follow the directions on the fabric medium bottle) in a dabbing motion. Voila! FYI - these tights are from the $5 tight section at Target.

Zarte Armbänder. Der Frühling rückt näher und wir verzehren uns nach Pastellfarben und zartem Schmuck, der uns vom Sommer träumen lässt. Für alle denen es genauso geht, haben wir mal wieder eine sehr feine DIY-Anleitung von Nadine von anmutig für Euch und Euer Handgelenk. Die süßen Armbänder sind blitzschnell gemacht und wirken am Besten in kleinen Gruppen. Also schnell Material besorgen und loslegen, jede Menge Komplimente sind Euch sicher!
Um die Armbänder wunderbar zart zu gestalten, nutzen wir sogenannte “Zwischenteile” und “Quetschperle”, die normalerweise nur als Zusatzelemente gedacht sind. Für die Armbänder braucht ihr: - Metallperlen, sogenannte Zwischenteile, die es in allen möglichen Formen und Farben (gold, kupfer, silber) gibt - Quetschperlen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern - Stickgarne in verschiedenen Farben (ich habe Sticktwist in rosa und schwarzes Perlgarn verwendet) - verschiedene Fäden und Bänder nach Wunsch (z.
