HELLOmynameisHeather Bitty Bootmakers, it's your day! The free baby shoe pattern is yours...all yours. You won't believe how easily these go together too. Join the "Bitty Booties" photo group and show your stuff -- I can't wait to see what you come up with! Fabric Envelopes I was provided product for this post, but all opinions are my own. I love quick and simple sewing projects. And I have one for you today - Fabric Envelopes! This would be a fun beginner-sewing project and a fun way to showcase cute fabric: Alright, here we go! You'll need two pieces of fabric, one for the outside and one for the lining. If you don't have an envelope die, you can hand-cut the shape as seen above. I was experimenting to see if I could cut fabric with the die. You'll need to cut one out of each fabric: Now for the sewing - - put the two pieces together, with the right sides facing each other and sew all the way around the edge, except you'll want to leave about 2 inches on one side un-sewn. Next you're going to turn the project right-side out by pulling it through the opening. Now just fold it into envelope shape and iron it down. That's it! If you're looking for a simple sewing project, this is one you can do! www.SugarBeeCrafts.com
Des chaussons sous toutes leurs formes - by Rita Couture etc. Chaussomaniaque, ça se dit ? Ben oui, même si je n’en ai pas (encore) cousu des tonnes, je collectionne les patrons de chaussons trouvés sur le Net. Sans compter ceux des magazines et des livres (les Intemporels pour Bébés en proposent quelques beaux exemplaires). N’hésitez pas à me laisser vos liens originaux que j’enrichisse cette collection, et pourquoi pas, vos photos de créations ! Les liens en français Créas du baobab. Petites babouches en feutre (pour cadeau de naissance par exemple). Chausson toute pointure Chaussons de la pointure 21 à la pointure 30 ! Les liens en anglais Cloth Baby shoes 0-6 mois, sur le même principe que les créas du Babobab. Les mêmes Cloth Baby shoes 0-6 mois avec des tissus Michael Miller. Petits chaussons avec languette, à réaliser en 10 min (taille préma-nouveau né). Petits chaussons à bride, à réaliser en 30 min (taille préma-nouveau né). Ballerines avec dentelle pour poupée (mais peuvent inspirer pour des chaussons de baptême). Mes préférés, les Bitty Booties.
Second Sewing Month Project: Upcycle Sheets into PJs - A Dose of the Delightful Okay, so it's not National Sewing Month anymore - not even close! But I'm determined to finish my original list of projects: Creating throw & lumbar pillows with piping & invisible zippersFinishing a set of pajamas I'm making out of old sheets (how Sound of Music of me!) Now I've done 2 out of 4! A few years ago, my mom was doing some spring cleaning and preparing several bags of goods for donation. I made the top using this easy Simplicity pajama pattern, and wanted to try out this free Colette Madeleine mini bloomers pattern for the bottoms. I have to admit, I was pretty daunted - I'd never done anything like making my own elastic casings or even making a buttonhole! I do, actually, have two arms! A couple of notes on some adjustments I made: I thought having the ties in the front of the legs was a bit too baby-doll for my taste, so I moved them to the sides of each leg.
Pour des pieds frileux - 1,2,3... Cousette ! Il semblerait que la chancelière revienne à la mode. J'ai récemment vu sur internet de la pub pour un chauffe-pieds chauffant sur un site de jeux informatiques ! J'en ai fait un pour une tricoteuse aux pieds frileux... et voici le tuto au cas où vous connaîtriez des doigts de pieds qui craignent le froid. Mes mesures conviennent pour une pointure 40/41. Je vous laisse le soin d'agrandir ou de réduire en fonction de la taille recherchée.Il vous faudra deux coupons de tissu de 40x150 cm. Il faudra ajouter une bande de 20x58 cm dans le tissu visible (ce sera la bande au niveau des chevilles). Vous commencez par coudre la bande de 8x110 cm autour de la semelle, puis vous fixez le dessus. Vous glissez la doublure à l'intérieur Maintenant, vous prenez votre bande de 20x58 cm, vous la pliez en deux dans le sens de la hauteur et vous former un "anneau" que vous fermez par une couture
Girl's Layered Skirt Many of you commented that Lucy’s seersucker skirt last week would be great for Easter. So I got busy. And here it is. A tutorial for girls (and moms?) of all ages: It’s bouncy and girly and ruffly. Or sitting pretty and dainty, sort of. Asking Lucy to model for me is a grab bag of expressions. But enough rambling. Let’s get started. There are so many ways to make a skirt (check out the Tutorials section for more ideas). This one is a layered/ruffled/tiered skirt. FABRICS TO USE I absolutely love seersucker cotton (detailed info on that here). AMOUNT OF FABRIC This will vary on the size of skirt you’re making, but for a 4-5 year old (shown here), 1 yard of fabric is great. SIZINGThe skirt is made of tiers. For the skirt LENGTH* Decide how long you want your skirt to be….a couple inches above the knee? If you find that the skirt is too full – use smaller ratios on the numbers aboveIf you want the ruffles to be more full – increase the ratios above (make the ruffles 2.5 times as long, etc)
