Some kind of vest. Ok so i saw this top and I fell in love but I was not crazy about spending $38 for something so simple besides what's the fun in thatso this is what i came up with i tried to use this tute: but it always came out wrong, so I adapted it [cuz I suck at following tutes]here's the lil' how to: **cut one backpiece [make sure it's about 3" longer than the two front pieces], two fronts and two strips about 3" with the shape illustrated above. you can use an old shirt for measurements or measure yourself.please excuse my terrible english.1-grab the two strips and sew them onto the inner corner of each front piece. 2-lineup the two strips with the front pieces. if everything's ok, move on to step 3 3-twist those strips till they're lined up again with the front pieces. 4-sew the strips to the front pieces and now you have one full piece 5-grab the backpiece and sew it to the front piece. you're done!
Men's Jeans to Vest. Hello all!
I am delighted to write a post for this beautiful blog and its followers. I look forward to making these bloomers Sally repurposed for the fall, paired with tights. My last two DIY projects (including this one) have involved men's jeans. My husband is hard on jeans, so I'm the grateful beneficiary. You will need: - Men's jeans (I'm using a pair of Gap 1969 size 34x34.
. - Scissors - Seam Ripper - Sewing Machine (Although the STRONG-fingered can pull this off with needle and thread)Steps: 1. Here is the flap I ended up with. Cardigan flower embellishment. This project from start to finish took 30 minutes!
1. Cut out one inch strips of fabric. (Smaller or larger depending on how big you want your flowers.) 2. Cut a (fairly even) square out of your strip. 3.With the corners as your guide cute out four petal flowers. 4. 5. SEEEEE so easy! Xoxo- Sister #2 (Sophie)
