I initially made this resume during my senior year in college. I wanted it to really represent not only my design skills, but my affection for sewing and including handmade elements in my design work for a more intimate feel. That and, well, I suppose it would be harder to throw away a resume like this. And yes, I got the first job I applied for out of college.
The briefest of tutorials: 1) Print your resume on t-shirt transfer paper (remember to flip the design before you print it) 2) Iron that bad boy onto white or light colored fabric. 3) Sew your new fabric resume to a colorful fabric backing of your choice. 52 Weeks Project. Waterproof Your Canvas Shoes. Tooth Fairy Pouches (pattern pieces included) My daughter has been reading a book that has a tooth fairy in it and is so curious about how that all works.
So I jumped all over talking to her about that magical little Tooth Fairy. Then I told her that we could make a little pouch to put her first lost tooth in (which hasn’t happened yet), to be sure the tooth fairy finds it under her pillow. So I did just that. Very simply. I tried out two tooth fairy pouch styles to see which one I would like better…….and I like them both. So does my 5 year old. Each pouch opens up and has an elastic cord closure. These pouches are nice and small to fit under a pillow but can also be hung from a bed post. You know, if your child would rather not have a tooth fairy digging under their pillow. It just makes the whole “tooth fairy” thing a little more fun. **And if you and your kiddos aren’t into the whole Tooth Fairy thing, use them as little coin purses. Tsumami Kanzashi Flower Hair Clip.
I have recently discovered these beautiful folded flowers, and I absolutely cannot stop making them.
Tsumami Kanzashi are traditional Japanese folded flowers, made from small squares of silk, that are typically worn by women as hair ornaments in traditional hairstyles. They seem really complicated and intricate, and they can certainly be that if you really want; but it completely doesn't need to be! I love to make them out of cotton prints that are fun and bright, in addition to scraps of silk and other light fabrics.
These can be used in countless applications. In this tutorial, I'm making one attached to a hair clip, but you could add them onto headbands, combs, brooches, necklaces... the list could go on. There are a few tutorials out there on the internet, but to find a good variety in petal shapes can certainly be difficult, you just have to keep looking, and just grab a square of fabric and just test stuff out.

My dad and I talk a lot about the past---nostalgia runs in our blood, I think---and we both love to reminisce. Inspired by Jordan Ferney's Postcard Birthday Poster, I started batting around an idea: what if I could get everyone from my dad's past to contribute a memory they had of him? What if I had all those people send their memories to me, and then I put each one into an envelope---sixty total, of course---and had him open them, one by one, on his birthday? That would be a lot of memories, right? So I wrote an email. Hello everyone! If you're receiving this email, you probably know that our dad, Patrick Burns, is turning 60 next month (much as he would hate us to be reminding everyone, I'm sure.) And this is where you come in! If you have a spare moment in the next few days, we would be so grateful if you'd jot down a favorite memory you have of our dad and put it in the post. Thank you so much again.
