Craft « Things I Fell In Love With Today Renegade Craft // Chicago Day 1 · Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012 Did you ever go to a place with zero expectations, having really done no research and then find yourself completely head over heels obsessively in love with that place once you arrived? That was my experience of Chicago. I only fit ‘The Windy City’ into my travel plans because it so happened that The Renegade Craft Fair was going to be on while I would be in that (very) general area of the U.S. So. many. crafts! I adored the colours here. Vintage, vintage, everywhere! Some of the pretty surroundings in the Wicker Park area. The prettiest dressing room // Outfit Details…Dress: Jack Wills // Hat: Vintage The best burger ever? I traveled to Chicago completely alone and wasn’t sure if I was going to love or hate that fact. I designated my first day there to Renegade and arrived early to really soak it all up.
Project Display Board Or I guess I should say…….. project/photo/bills/chores/etc. display board. The uses are endless. Perfect. I just needed a solution for wet art that was making a mess touching other things in my home. Solved that problem. All I did was cover a board with a layer of Mod Podge and then layed a piece of fabric on top of that. And then I covered the front and sides with a nice layer of Mod Podge. Then I covered some jumbo wooden clothes pins the same way. Next, I let everything dry completely and the hot glued the jumbo pins to the board. Great for all sorts of purposes.

pintuck practice I am making a blessing dress for baby Ruby (which may or may not actually be her name. We started calling her that a while ago, and I think it will stick, but don't hold me to it). Normally when I start a new project, I just wing it, but a blessing dress is special. It should have french seams and pretty details and not look like mom made it all willy nilly. I decided this was going to require some research and practice. Step one, the research (borrowed from my mother-in-law): There is a newer version available, but I am digging the retro 1979 copy. Step two, the practice (diamond pintucks): I used this great Riley Blake print to guide my pintucks, no marking required (love that). Diamond pintucks are a lot easier than they look.
Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle) My husband and I both have cell phones. And both of us have phone chargers. And that means lots of obnoxious cords. You never know when one of us may be moving phone cords around, to give our phones an extra charge while we’re chatting away……… or trying to charge our phones up before running errands or something. Needless to say, those phone cords seem to be everywhere…..and are generally in the way and hanging all over the floor. (Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends. I was looking around on the internet for a solution and found this. It made the perfect little holder for my cell phone while it’s being charged. Holder for Charging Cell Phone And no more phone hanging down from the outlet while in this room or that room……..the cord and phone are now up off the ground, and tucked away into the little holder, while the phone drinks up a full charge. If you look closely, you can see that the orange print is fabric. And turns out, it’s pretty useful.
PAP: porta-celular de garrafa plástica Esse passo-a-passo foi inspirado no porta-celular Drinn que eu vi na Tok & Stok. Vocês já devem ter visto esse tipo de acessório. Há uns 2 anos ele costumava ser popular naqueles sites e blogs que divulgam boas ideias de design e produtos. Desde então, eu tinha pensado que esse projeto era fácil de adaptar e fazer em casa. Os materiais que usei são bem simples e acessíveis: garrafa plástica, lápis ou caneta para marcação e tesoura. Essa etapa é a mais importante: a fase de planejamento. Se já está com o desenho pronto em mente, então é hora de fazer as marcações. E depois é só cortar com tesoura mesmo. Aqui tem um exemplo de como eu cortei o círculo para a tomada e como ficou a lateral de encaixe do celular. Ficou assim… Aparentemente tem cara de que vai dar certo. O carregador precisa entrar até o fim para não cair ou escorregar – ou seja, o plástico precisa ser fino e liso. Alguém ficou com vontade de experimentar?
Melly Sews: Pickup Skirt Tutorial Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe via email so you don't miss a post. Today I’m going to share my pickup skirt tutorial I have been obsessed with pickup skirts lately. From the Mountain Laurel Dress to the skirt with the His & Hers Henleys to the Fairytale Seersucker Dress, to pins from my Women’s Clothing Fashion Inspiration board on Pinterest, I’m all about the pickup skirt. My apologies that you’re going to see photos from both the His & Hers Henley Skirt and the Mountain Laurel dress. First, you need both your skirt and your lining. I know the lining looks kind of like a straight skirt in the pic above, but it was actually flared. Next, sew a gathering stitch around the bottom of the skirt. Sew around the bottom. For a poufier skirt, like the Henley Skirt, add some netting between the layers. Now gather the top edge of the skirt to match the top edge of the lining. If this is part of a dress, tie to sew the skirt to the dress.

Framed Jewelry Organizer Necklaces always seem to get tangled in a jewelry box. This is a DIY tutorial to make a framed jewelry organizer that both displays your pretty necklaces and keeps them tangle-free. You can either hang it on the wall or lean it against a vanity table. thrifted vintage frame peg board cup to size wood glue scissors ribbon knobs or hooks spray paint (optional) Start with a vintage thrifted frame. Before securing the peg board to the frame I make a couple loops for hanging dangling earrings. I double knotted the back. Next I glued with wood glue the peg board to the back of the frame. I picked up some of these knobs and hook on sale from my local Anthropologie. The hook’s holes didn’t quite line up with the peg board’s so I tied ribbon through like I did for the earring loops. Then I installed my knobs and hung my jewelry.
