halligan’s denim cut-offs wine bag
When the time comes for your jeans to be reincarnated into your new favorite shorts, the top gets a new life but what about that sturdy bottom fabric going to waste? I have been saving the bottoms of cut off jeans for two years now, knowing that someday I would have a bright idea of how to put them to use. Denim crafts can go wrong in so many ways but my goal in this project was to cure denim crafts from their not so hip past using a little bleach and stitchery! CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump! Materials: - jean leg bottom - sturdy fabric of choice (for lining) - bleach (optional) - scissors - ruler - fabric pencil/marker - pins - sewing machine Optional Step: Bleach jean leg bottom to desired color. note: Make sure to wash both your liner fabric and denim before you start sewing because the fabrics may shrink unevenly. 1. and a 14.5″x15″ rectangle of liner fabric. 2. then iron down and create a crease. 3. of seam. 4.

leather envelope phone case
As you may know, I have a weakness for tech accessories — especially ones that you can DIY — so it should come as no surprise that when Aimee of SwellMayde offered to share this tutorial, I immediately said yes. Aimee was even kind of enough to make a leather case in the signature D*S color — bright coral! This DIY is super easy; the combination of basic materials and a printable template means even a novice crafter can produce this chic, simple phone case for themselves or as a gift in no time.

Owl Stuffies Tutorial
Ever since I made my son’s Halloween costume I’ve been having a lot of fun sketching and playing with the idea of making an owl stuffie. So when my mom commissioned me to make a stuffed animal as a present for a friend’s new baby I knew exactly what I wanted to make. This Pattern is to make a small owl stuffie (like the aqua one above) This pattern is not for commercial use or monetary gain Supplies 3 coordinating fabrics (one of them should be a solid color).a small amount of orange felt for the beakPolyfillScissorsFabric paint or felt for the eyesSewing machineNeedle and threadPattern below Open this image in a new tab and print at full size. The fabric that I choose for my main color came from an old pair of pants and was a heavier weight than the cotton quilting fabrics that I picked for my belly and tail colors. The next step is to join the belly wings and face pieces to make the front of the owl. Afterwards you can trim the excess wing to even up the seam.

Om man vill ha en bukett som inte vissnar kan man göra en av pappersblommor. Använd tapetprover (går att beställa billigt på nätet) och ståltråd. Klipp och klistra. Jag tror att ni förstår principen, det är inte raketforskning direkt. Hälsa gärna på i min blogg där det bjuds på humor, stand up, muscicerande och andra rolighter :)
