Tutorials for Recycling T-Shirts - StumbleUpon So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk. Well, it's September and...let's just say the closet is a work in progress. Some of the things that are taking up space in the closet are shirts that I never wear anymore. I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts: Check out these t-shirt scarves! Create cute little bows for accessories or packaging with this tutorial. Gorgeous ruffled pillow tutorial here.

V and Co how to: jersey knit bracelet - StumbleUpon i don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen. (my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning...*sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home. *sigh* okay... *cut off excess tails!
DIY Coupon Sleeves | Yay! After seeing this pin for DIY coupon holders (by Erin at Taking Time to Create), I decided to give it a try… The first thing I did was to measure out my grid… I used a baseball card sleeve that I currently have in my coupon binder as a template… Then I just slid it into a clear sheet protector… Next I slid the page under the needle on my sewing machine and followed the lines! Make sure to backstitch each end to make sure that you’re stitches don’t come out! Almost done! With a very light touch, carefully slide an exacto knife’s blade just under the first row of horizontal stitches, being careful not to cut into the stitching… Be sure to flip it over & do the backside too… The bonus in DIY-ing these coupon holders is that they are double-sided! So simple! I would have never thought to use my sewing machine to do a project like this… but in the space of about 20 minutes, I had five, new, double-sided coupon sleeves! And for about half the price of store-bought baseball card sleeves :’)
