Free PDF Sewing Pattern – Boy’s Vest Size 4-5T I so wanted to have this vest pattern up before Easter, but I ended up testing for my little guy up until the night before. Although, who needs a holiday to get dressed up, right? I so love this style, it’s polished with a little formal thrown in, but depending on the fabric and shirt worn with it can be very fun and playful. It’s a free download PDF pattern for sizes 4-5 and I have included a photo for every step in the tutorial making it perfect for a beginner. I wanted a summery feel for this vest so I used linen for most of it, and opted not to add buttons for a super casual feel.

Square(ish) Bottomed Hobo Lunchbag Tutorial Necessity being the mother of invention, I first made this bag because I wanted something that would have all the features of a plastic bag, except I wouldn’t want to throw it out. The features I really wanted were: ability to hold a square container in an upright position, tie-able, light, washable and squishable. Also cute.

Je n’ai que peu de temps en ce moment d’où la désertion transitoire de ce blog… A tout avouer, je préfère utiliser le peu de temps que j’ai à coudre ;-). Mais tout de même voici une petite découverte toute fraîche que je voulais partager. size: large;">Wild things!

a simple skirt With spring and summer upon us, it’s time for skirts! And making cotton skirts for girls (or yourself) is so very simple. The concept is nothing new. We’re making a simple gathered skirt, with an elastic waistband. And we have a fantastic MADE Everyday episode if you’d like to see the process in-action! a craft blog: A Very Simple Bento Bag Tutorial : The Math Hello All ~~ I came across a very, very simple drawstring bento bag pattern; thinking it would be a delightful project to share as a tutorial. However, when the bag was complete, it seemed a bit small, barely fitting my 4.5" square bento box. So I worked on a 'formula' (did I tell you I'm a numbers geek?) to customize a pattern to fit your bento lunch box. The bento lunch bag is a basic drawstring bag but what I like about it is how the bottom is done; a different method from the commonly used boxed corner.

Free Front Or Back Tie Pillowcase Dress Pattern & Tutorial Hello friends! Today I have a front tie or back tie option that I am excited to add to the Fat Quarter Pillowcase Dress collection. Using a front tie is a great way to make a pillowcase dress look a little more formal, and a back tie is a great option for keeping little fingers from untying the bow. You could of course use this idea for any pillowcase dress pattern, and I will explain how to do that as well. I made this dress to fit a size 4T so I made a big sash, to make a big bow – but you could make that sash any size you want. I have a sizing guide for the fabric cuts you will make for a size 3 months on up to a 6T. Fabric Box Patterns and Sewing Directions  1.

Anniversary sewing: picnic placemats 7 May It is a really ugly day here, with intermittent rain and constant gray skies — no way to spend a Friday, in my mind. (Especially because I was planning to plant the basil seeds that have been sitting on the kitchen counter for at least two weeks, now.)

Picnic Easter Baskets I was at Target the other day… childless! It was awesome! I actually had a minute to browse without yelling various threats at my son. Making a picnic dress Several people have asked me how to make my Picnic Dress. It’s a bit too complicated for the step by step instruction on how to draft a pattern I gave for the draped t-shirt, but I hope this will be enough detail for anyone who is familiar with how dresses are made. You will need 4 yards of 45″ fabric and an 18″ zipper. These are the pieces of the pattern. Mark out the measurements listed and the distances between them. For example, on the waistband measure out the distance between your underbust/ribcage and your waist, then measure half your ribcage measurement at one side and half your waist measurement at the other.

Adventures in Sewing: Picnic Placemats Some time sewing recently produced this gem of a project. Picnic placemats with a cutlery and napkin-holding pouch. They are placemats that you can roll up and put in your picnic basket, sure to add a touch of awesome to your picnic. I know picnic season is winding down in most of the country, but here in the desert, it's about to start next month and last until next summer. I made this set for my daughter in Michigan, but I think I'm going to have to make another just for me. I can't express how easy this is!
