Tutorial: Paisley Necktie Schoolbag Hey girls, It's back-to-school time and time for a new schoolbag. Sure, backpacks and messengers are great but how about something new? Okay, you'll need a bunch of ties. Mine are all paisleys. A lot of lining fabric - mine is black velveteen. Let's start with the gusset/handle: you'll need four ties: Lay them out like this. Join each pair side by side with a super-wide triple zigzag stitch. Just feed the ties through side by side, no "right sides together" or pinning or anything. Stitch each pair together side by side halfway up. Now you have have two pairs of ties sewn together. Just do another triple zigzag over the center of each tie following the center seam on the wrong side. Now place the fat ends of the ties right sides together and stitch across with a regular straight stitch. Your gusset/strap piece is now complete! Now we are going to make the pattern for the front and back of the bag. Now mark a dot at the inside points between the ties. Remove the ties and connect the dots.

How to make a cheap, awesome, professional Curtain Rod First off, thank you so much for being so kind about my new curtains in the dining room! I am taken aback daily by how many genuinely nice people there are in this blogging community. Thank you for loving the curtains along with me, and also thank you for just being plain ol’ nice. Now, shall we get down to bid-ness? Let’s talk Curtain Rods. I should dedicate an entire post just to curtain rods and best above ground pool, because after this experience, I think I know every single option of inexpensive curtain rod options in the greater Austin area. DIYing a Curtain Rod: I headed to Home Depot on a mission to find a practical inexpensive solution to my curtain rod dilemma. At Home Depot I found a variety of objects that could work, but in the end the heavens parted and I stumbled on Electrical Conduit. Bless the person that invented this light weight, sturdy, and extremely inexpensive product! But let me back up for a sec. I bought the conduit that was 1/2″ x 10′. Curtain Rings and Finials:
Au top de la récup - Les bricoles de l'arsouille Avant tout je tenais à vous souhaiter, à vous qui passez sur mon blog, une très belle et heureuse année 2013, remplie de plaisirs et de Treiz’Ors… Bientôt un mois que je n’ai rien posté… Il faut dire que la fin d’année n’est pas une des périodes les plus reposantes de l’année… mais je n’en ai pas été moins productive pour autant. J’ai d’ailleurs une petite veste qui attend impatiemment d’être photographiée, mais je suis tout de même en mesure de vous présenter ma dernière cousette : Un top fillette 100 % récup. Je suis partie d’un t-shirt enfant donné par une de mes voisines : T-shirt porté par sa 2ème mais devenu trop petit, j’ai voulu lui faire un petit quelque chose pour sa 3ème. J’ai découpé le haut du t-shirt pour en ôter le col et les manches, Glissé un ruban (provenant d’un reste de ruban utilisé pour un gâteau de couches) dans l’ourlet du haut, pour former des bretelles fermées par un joli nœud, Sans oublier ma signature ! Et voilà le résultat final : Et vous, qu’en pensez-vous ?
