elm street life: DIY: Bow clutch sewing tutorial. And fiiiinally... the tutorial you've been waiting for. This is my first real sewing tutorial - which scares me a bit, because I've never actually taken a sewing class, so I don't know all the terminology. What I do know is that I've learned to sew lots of things by reading tutorials, so hopefully I can make this simple enough that even you beginners can feel confident making a bag. And yes, a bag with a zipper! It can be done, I promise.There are plenty of photos, so hopefully that will help. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section and I'll be happy to clarify. **Also, please note except where I say, "Sew close to the edge," I am using a 1/2" seam allowance throughout. Ok, let's get started! 1. 2. 3. 4. Sometimes, at the end of this step, if my strap doesn't feel sturdy enough, I'll cut a thin strip of interfacing and tuck it inside the crease before sewing. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. WHEW!
Comment faire de singe mignon de chaussette - Coudre Looking for some crafts for kids I was thinking about something soft this time as there are many cardboard projects around the net. As a child I remember I used to love monkeys and even had one, special monkey boy made by my granny. When I found this project on Crafts Passion I thought it is time to take my sewing machine out and start doing something with other techniques than crochet or knitting. This cute Sock Monkey made my heart go boom from the start and hope Anya would love it too.
{tutorial: how to sew a zippered pouch} Two years ago I was learning how to sew in a zipper to make a pouch and I was failing! failing! failing! at understanding how to do it. And that number is not an exaggeration. Anyways :] I thought it would be fun {and helpful} to do a tutorial post on installing a zipper, which coincidentally includes how to sew a zipped pouch. Shall we get started? MATERIALS: * front & back outside pieces of fabric {mine are 9″ x 5″} * front & back inside pieces of fabric {9″ x 5″} * two pieces of interfacing or felt {9″ x 5″} * a 10″ zipper * sewing machine * coordinating thread, to match your outside fabric * scissors * optional: embellishment for your zippered pouch INSTRUCTIONS: The first step is to lay flat the front outside piece of fabric {with a pouch, you’ll have front & back outside pieces and front & back inside pieces}. *Yes, it’s OK to sew over your zipper {sew slowly so you don’t break your needle} and to cut your zipper if it needs to be shortened. *See my thumb in photo 2? All done!

Fit to a T baby romper tutorial part 2: Making the Pattern and Cutting | The Seamery This post is intense, since you are making lots of decisions at this stage. Really it’s much simpler than it looks (isn’t that what they all say?), but I will ask you to please make a test piece to make sure you are perfectly happy with your fit and technique before you cut up your vintage concert T’s! 1) Trace a foundation garment to make a block pattern. Find a garment that fits your intended recipient. I like to use a close-fitting onesie as a sloper of sorts and go from there, so I’ll refer to this chosen garment as a onesie, although a sleeper, romper, or even a T shirt can work too. Turn the onesie inside out and trace all of the pieces. When tracing a onesie, I trace the longer of the panels that goes between the legs, but more importantly I also snap the onesie closed and mark this depth too. onesie traced, with depth between the legs marked But…I have been known to trace and cut on the fold like I did in these shots, if I’m feeling lucky. leg line sketched for a STRAIGHT romper

Dress Form Tutorial: Want to make an exact replica of your body for custom work? Yesterday we set out determined to make our own dress forms for the Etsy Labs and thought we'd share the love with you guys if you want to make one of your own or just laugh at our own trails with the duct tape!Materials: A large T-shirt that fits below the bum that will be cut up and destroyed in the processAnother small piece of discard able cloth (a paper towel will do)At least two 45 gram rolls of duct tapeA pair of sharp scissorsCardboard, and cardboard tubingSomething to stuff the form with (peanuts, foam, polyfil, old clothes, be creative)A helperHere's what ya gotta do:Step 1Put on large T-shirt and have your helper begin to wrap the roll of duct tape around your body. Make sure the tape is somewhat smooth and that there are no gaps in between wraps. Stop wrapping once the bust is reached. Step 2Cut several strips of tape from the roll and apply them it a vertical pattern along the curves of the bust for most natural looking shape fit.
Valaan villapaita: Tee se itse -valas You can find the tutorial in English here. ETA in February 2012: Hi! Nice of you to stop by! There will eventually be an English translation of this tutorial, so please have some patience:) In the meanwhile, I'm sorry to put up this disclaimer: It's OK to link back to this post, but it is not OK to copy all the photos and the tutorial, or translate it to another another language. Ja mainittakoon sama myös suomeksi: valaitten ompelu omaan käyttöön tai lahjaksi on OK, mutta kaupallinen käyttö ja kopiointi on kielletty. Denimvalaan ohjeesta tuli useampikin kysely, mikä ilahdutti kovin ja kauhistutti vielä enemmän – en nimittäin tule kovin hyvin juttuun ohjeitten kanssa. Valaaseen tarvitaan laje vanhoista farkuista, pikkutiplu sinistä puuvillaa silmiä varten, täytevanua, ompelukone, lankaa ja hiukan kärsivällisyyttä. Aloitetaan leikkaamalla farkunlahkeista valaan selkäpalat (2 kpl), vatsapuoli (2 kpl), pyrstö (2 kpl) ja evät (4 kpl). Vatsapuolen muodon voi kopioida selkäpalasta. Tadaa!
Felt Slippers Homemade slippers of thick wool felt make a heartwarming (and foot-warming) gift. Felt is the ideal fabric to work with, since it won't unravel when cut. Felt Slippers How-To1. 2. 3. Riley Blake Designs Blog: Project Design Team Wednesday~Bohemian Skirt Hi. I'm Char from Today I am sharing a super easy skirt tutorial using Lila Tueller's new First you'll want to measure the waist of the intended wearer. Yardage requirements Provided the waist of the wearer is under 29”, you will need 2 times the finished length plus 5”. Additional notions Thread 1 1/2” or 2” elastic piece equal to 1/2 the waist measurement plus 1”. For the waistband Cut 5” high: Waist measurement/2 + 1” For example, if your waist measurement is 24”, you’d take half of that (12”) and then add 1” for a cut length of 13”. Waist measurement plus 1”. So, you have a 5” X 13” piece and a 5” X 25” piece. For the rest of the skirt Cut 2 pieces the length you want the finished skirt to be X the width of the fabric. Assembly Press both waistband pieces in half horizontally (so they’re now 2.5” tall with the pressed/folded edge at the top. Edge stitch top/creased edges. Stitch bottom edges, 1/4” ish. Gather skirt body pieces and pin to waistband pieces. Stitch in place using scant 1/2” seams.
