Spring Felt Flower | I posted these cute pictures last week, and I promised I would share the tutorial. These flowers are so fun for spring! And they sure look cute on Miss Emmalyn! The first flower is pretty simple… I just hope I can explain it right. You’ll need (5) 1 1/2 in circles (sorry typo in the pic). Add a little hot glue to the center and fold it like a taco. You’ll glue one edge down, but not the other. Make sense? Then your going to cut a 1/2 in circle for the middle. Next you’ll need to make your loopy flower. First you’ll want to pin it in half. Then you’ll sew the pieces together. Then you’ll cut little snips all the way down. Now roll your flower up like a cinnamon roll, gluing along the way. Now your going to glue both flowers to a piece of felt. Attach to a cute headband and you got your self a pretty cute flower. Linked to Tidy Mom Happy Spring!!

How To Make Pom Poms and Add Them to a Throw Blanket Before I started moving my studioffice all around last week, I started making something to keep me warm as it is COLD!!! outside and I like it warm. This past weekend it snowed, which made for a nice snow day on Saturday, but the throw blanket I keep in my living room to snuggle up with has not been available for about 2 months now. You will find out why below. I needed to finish up embellishing a new throw I bought at Marshall’s to keep me all comfy cozy. It is large, furry, fuchsia, soft and super cuddly – perfect for the winter months, plus it gives my room an added color pop. This project all started when a certain new member of my household took over my warm and snuggly leopard throw. Sometimes I don’t even see her as she blends right in. I got my inspiration to make the pom pom trim when I saw this photo in an old Woman’s Day magazine from the late 60’s that I found at a thrift store. From woman’s Day Magazine Jan 1968 How to Make a Pom Pom Throw Blanket How to Make a Pom Pom 1. 2.
FabricsAddict Craft This – How to make an easy peasy A-line skirt Shopping for the perfect skirt can drive me crazy. Here’s my beef – I’m nearing 30 and as a result I don’t always want to have to worry that when I bend over I’ll be displaying my pants. Sometimes I just want a knee length skirt – but the shops don’t seem to want to provide me with one. So, I’m a resourceful girl and instead I learnt how to make one. Now, I am pretty lazy and don’t really get on with complicated patterns so I came up with this easy peasy tutorial to make a classic A-skirt and today I’m sharing it with you lovely readers. You will need 1.5-2 metres of fabric (I’m approximately a size 12 and 1.5m was enough)A 10 inch zip (in this tutorial I used a 14 inch zip because it’s what I had. Optional: Cup of teaA little helper (mine came in the form of my 6 month old kitten Rocky) Step 1 Find one of your favourite skirts that fits comfortably. Step 2 Cut out two skirt pieces. Step 3 Fold one of the skirt pieces in half and cut in two. Step 4 Oh and chewing zips is also – not very helpful.

Free Clothes Patterns Posted on | October 9, 2008 | 7 Comments I originally became interested in patternless sewing, many years ago, because I had a hard time finding patterns in my size. Nowadays, patterns in large sizes abound. Nonetheless, I still love my pattern free sewing. These patterns generally of three types. One type requires you to take your measurements and draw up the pattern yourself. Skirts are very easy to make without a pattern. I came across a few patterns that didn’t fit into any other category, so I gave them their own. We normally assume underwear is too complicated or to time consuming to sew ourselves. Aprons can usually be whipped up in less than an hour. Shirts and dresses are much more complicated to make than skirts. Coats can easily be the most expensive piece of clothing in your wardrobe.
