Make Your Own Woven Rag Rug. I've certainly done my fair share of DIY projects through the years, but for all the projects I have completed thus far, I've yet to venture into the land of rugs—until today! I wanted to make a kitchen rug for the studio that was: a) cute, b) woven, and c) relatively easy for a first time rug maker. After a bit of research, I found the perfect woven rug that fits all my needs! If you have a few old bedsheets around, this is the perfect way to use them (and get an adorable rug out of the process). Supplies:-3 king size, flat, cotton bedsheets-piece of cardboard, 23" x 43"-fabric scissors-masking tape-marker-ruler Step One: Use your ruler and marker to make a mark every 2" across the longest side of each of your bedsheets. Step Two: At each cut, rip the fabric apart, and it should tear evenly all the way across the sheet.

Step Three: On each of the short ends of your cardboard, start 2" from each end and mark 2" long lines every 1/2". Step Seven: You're almost done! Petite Purls - Summer 2011.

A softie is, at its most basic, a simple stuffed toy. “Simple” means that softies are uncomplicated in design and easily and quickly made, requiring few construction tricks, frequently needing only one pattern piece (comprising front and back) with a few add-ons for decoration.

Sock Monkey. Gosh… I am supposed to sew some thing for the Earth Month this April, but I can’t wait to sew these sock monkeys. My hands simply took over my head and see what I did after a few days and nights of sewing…. a house full of sock monkeys!!!! Do you love them? I have seen a lot of sock monkey photos hanging around friends’ photo albums in many photo sharing websites, so envy. These sock monkeys are so cute and so adorable that I would want to hug one, I bet my kids would love to have them to accompany too when mommy is busy with works.

Therefore, I went out to shop for some socks thinking that may be 4 to 5 pairs should be enough, I ended up with 20 pairs of colorful socks, simply can’t resist for not buying ;-) . …. With different sizes of socks, I made the sock monkey out of a family, from baby, toddlers, teens to adult. 3rd picture in the above album shows the family photo of the sock monkey, from daddy, mommy, sister, brother, triplet toddlers, and a baby.

A Modern Take on the Doily $850 Lamp for less than $50? Yes Please! Hello Pretty people! We are so excited to share a project we did this past weekend.

A few months ago, I came across a ceiling lamp, I absolutely loved. It was $850, and I just couldn’t justify the spend, being it was simply made of doilies. I can’t claim the quality of the lamp we DIYed is the same of the more expensive one, but I can say, we are pretty darn happy with the results! If you want to make your own doily pendant, keep reading fellow DIYers, it’s a rewarding and messy project! To get started, you are going to need a few things to make this project successful.
