flax & twine: Day 22: A Crystal Wrap - a diy bracelet tutorial
I love this crystal trim–its inexpensive and very twinkly. From the moment I saw it, I wanted to make this wrap bracelet. I started by trying to tack it to ribbon.

I really should be sleeping but I've been meaning to post a clearer photo of this bag ages ago, so now here it is with a tutorial on how to sew one! This is a fun piece as you can use your favourite cloth prints to create your own bag, I've picked out this fairy-tale-goth-like cloths in 2 different colours and a Japanese flowers print for my bag I actually used 3 pattern cloths for mine, the outside patterns are different front and back, and the inside pattern is also different from the outer - to keep it simple you can just use 2 patterns with the outsides the same and only the inside different - or if you prefer you can just use the same pattern throughout, just try to label your pieces so you don't get mixed up! So here is Step 1:
Shoulder Bag Tutorial - E.L.
Welcome to my first tutorial – I’m starting off with a wallet – which is a bit tricky and not first post material but I just finished it today and couldn’t wait. I will post smaller tutorials on inserting a magnetic snap closure and other techniques used in this tutorial. Also I have a tendency to type like I speak i.e. really really fast with bad grammar – so if my instructions are confusing at anytime please feel free to ask me a questions =D Cut out the 2 foldable card slot rectangles.

Despite the fact that I had lived in the Phoenix area all my life growing up, I decided that it would be a good idea to go to college in Flagstaff Arizona. It was there that I discovered that I have a fairly low tolerance for snow, ice and wind. And by fairly low I mean, I’m a big baby and complain a lot when subjected to temperatures below 40 degrees. We won’t even discuss the ear infections I got every year from wind.
I received such a great response to my pleated spring bag and so many requests for a pattern, I thought I'd give it a try. I tried to keep it a little shorter this time, so please let me know how you like it! Do you like my zillion-pictures method better?
Pleated Purse Pattern
Bag with gathered pleats – a little sewing project « spicy:seasons
I am so proud to say – after about 4 years (at least!) where I didn’t do any sewing, I just went back to my roots and started sewing again! The things I love to make at most at the moment are bags. Sewing your own bag is pretty cool and practical, because by making it on your own, YOU can decide how it will look like, where pockets are placed and which fabric should be used for outside and for the lining. After I tried some different sewing patterns (most of them turned out to be either difficult to realize or not satisfying when they were finished).This zip-itself coin purse is truly an amazing and creative handmade design… zip-up to a tetrahedron shaped coin purse, unzip to a long ribbon. This zip-itself coin purse is made from 2 simple materials that you can get from the shop easily – ribbon and zipper. Get the tutorial on how to sew zip-itself coin purse with lining after this jump. I accidentally saw this zip-itself coin purse when I did a search for the tetrahedron coin purse and I love the idea. I knew I am going to scratch my head and drill into the detail of the design and make it one day….

For this goal, I defined it by saying I will make a homemade gift for each member of our immediate family at least once during the year, either for birthdays or Christmas. Yesterday was my cute sister-in-law's birthday. I decided to make her this little coin purse/mini wallet. I had a lot of fun with this little project and will probably make more. I especially liked picking coordinating fabrics and am in love with the ones I ended up picking.
#6. Make Homemade Gifts for a Year
I made a tote yesterday, according to Holly's tutorial (of the bijou lovely designs blog). Here's her tote, in a perfectly photographed photo that I envy: Here is my tote, which I love, but which deserves much better photos... better lighting and focus, I know!! I'm happy with the result! And it is all made up of fabric from my stash! Now I can take it with me when I go shopping, so I don't need any plastic bags from the stores :-D

It took only a short while to make and was quite a lot of fun to put together. I actually spent a lot of time cutting out the fabric, because I wanted to match up the plaid design. I cut the first piece of outer fabric on a fold (making sure the pattern was symmetric around the fold), and then I laid open this piece on the rest of the fabric, finding the place where it would "camouflage" completely - meaning, it would have the exact same pattern on it as the first piece.A Merry Mishap « greeneyed.com
We know, we’ve mentioned our love of neon and old school, throwback jewelry in some recent posts, and today we’re at it again. If you didn’t think neon and geodes went together, we strongly urge you to reconsider! A Merry Mishap happens to make fabulous geometric shaped jewelry in fun neon colors. The look is fresh and modern but also a throwback to our childhood days of making clay beads.By Kate on October 25, 2011 H ello there! I finally got around to posting after a hectic few weeks. I’ve been working on a big project which is all done and dusted now so I will be making more frequent updates between now and Christmas…phew! I sincerely wish there were more hours in the day!

Es uno de mis modelos de pulsera favorita porque te permite jugar con el color. Es sencilla de realizar, combina cuero e hilos de colores, yo he usado hilo de bordar cuyos colores son luminosos y el colorido es muy variado. Inspirándonos en los cartoncillos de los hilos, los peques han hecho las etiquetas. Es para un regalo especial que vamos a hacer hoy, la destinataria tendrá que escoger una bolsita con la pista de la etiqueta. He sujetado uno de los extremos con celo y el otro lo he dejado abierto. El hilo (los 6 cabos de la madeja) pasa sobre a , bajo b y sobre c en la primera vuelta.
