Growing Home: The Elastic-Waist Flirt Skirt (inspired by J.Crew) I am SO excited to be sharing this project with you. Not because it’s so crazy amazing (I’m a newbie sewer, so it’s actually rather basic), but because it is the very FIRST article of clothing that I’ve ever sewn for myself. Honestly, I never expected to make myself anything--I started sewing to make things for our home and the boys, and never expected to do much else. Adult clothes have to fit, and the idea of making that possible intimidates me. Not to mention that I actually enjoy getting out and doing a little shopping for myself on occasion. Then, a few weeks back, I purchased this little number at J. Before I go any further, let me tell you this: making this skirt is EASY. Ironically, though, the construction isn’t obvious. See, the first step in copying any piece of clothing (or, in other words, using a piece of clothing to make a pattern) is turning it inside out. Rectangular pockets attached up underneath the elastic casing. I love my new skirt. Happy Weekend! p.s. Materials 2.
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.

Make Fabric Flowers Let’s just jump right into making this flower… Start with a piece of fabric 3 inches wide by 24 inches long. Twist it really tight. Fold it in half and it will twist together on its own. Hot glue the unfolded end under to create the center of the flower. The real deal: It cost less than $0.30 to make one flower. Are you addicted to making fabric flowers yet? Go and be pretty,

This skirt is so sweet and easy and you absolutely do not need a pattern to make it, so it satisfies all my requirements for fun sewing. I created this because my daughter was eyeing some adorable skirts in the Jonnie B. catalogue and I figured I better get stitching before she showed them to me even one more time. What you’ll need: 1 to 1.5 yards of woven fabric (mine was 44” wide after washing). Directions:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press side seams open.
"a little help from my friends" scrappy string quilt tutorial I've had several requests and questions on how I put the "a little help from my friends" string quilt together, so I decided to make up a quick tutorial on it for everyone. (click on the photo to see the larger view on flickr) This is a shot of the quilt top you will end up with. It consists of 80 blocks total, 8 across and 10 down, 48X60. First, cut your scraps into strips, making random widths and sort by color. Second, cut 80 pieces of printer paper to 6.5 inch squares. Next, cut 80 1.5 inch wide strips of a solid kona cotton (I used white) 10 inches long. Following the handwritten :) sketch I drew here: start making your string blocks (they are numbered) and colored. To do this, first pin down the white fabric down the center of the paper block diagonally and then lay your fabric strips down on each side to figure out your placement. Then press the strips open. Continue sewing each strip onto the previous one until that side of the paper is completely covered. Tada, your quilt top is done!!
Offbeat Bride | Mini top hat tutorial I thought I'd just document how I made the hats, then with the benefit of my experience you can venture forth and give it a go yourself, knowing I had no idea what I was doing but still managed to do it good enough regardless! Things I used: Construction Paper (though any paper will do, this is just thicker so a bit easier) CompassPencil/pen Tape Patience Spray Adhesive Fabric for hats (I used satin for the white one, and an acetate lining for the coloured ones) Scalpel / Utility Knife / whatever you want to call it Scissors Hot Glue and Hot Glue gun Box board/strawboard/thick cardboard, whatever you want to call it. As long as its a thicker board that is still (just) bendable and will keep its shape. The groundwork: First up, I made a basic pattern out of paper and tape to work from. To do this, I started with the base of the hat. Then cutting along the line just drawn, it will leave the shape of the crown/barrel of the hat! Making the hat: Wait for the glue to fully dry before moving on.
La jupe qui fait top Pondu par Emilyjolie le 24 juillet 2008 Voici venues les vacances…Tu pars bientôt et tu connais bien le problème du « mais si j’te dis que ça rentre ! » ? La solution la voilà : la jupe qui fait top, ou le top qui fait jupe, c’est comme on veut. Il nous faut : – un bon mètre de jersey – des ciseaux, du fil, des aiguilles – une machine à coudre Etape 1 : les mesures Tu mesures… eh oui, c’est l’étape que l’on ne peut pas zapper ! Tu mesures aussi ton tour de hanche, et si tu as de la chance les mesures sont similaires… Etape 2 : le bandeau Le bandeau sert de ceinture à la jupe ou de soutien-nénés pour le top. Tu découpes un grand rectangle selon les mesures suivantes : – Longueur = tour de poitrine ou tour de hanche – Hauteur = hauteur des seins Ensuite tu couds les deux extrémités endroit sur endroit (surtout si c’est un jersey imprimé). Tu poses le tout bien à plat plié en deux, en mettant la couture sur un des cotés et tu rabats le bord du haut sur celui du bas. Etape 2 : les volants

Melly Sews: Pickup Skirt Tutorial Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe via email so you don't miss a post. Today I’m going to share my pickup skirt tutorial I have been obsessed with pickup skirts lately. From the Mountain Laurel Dress to the skirt with the His & Hers Henleys to the Fairytale Seersucker Dress, to pins from my Women’s Clothing Fashion Inspiration board on Pinterest, I’m all about the pickup skirt. My apologies that you’re going to see photos from both the His & Hers Henley Skirt and the Mountain Laurel dress. First, you need both your skirt and your lining. I know the lining looks kind of like a straight skirt in the pic above, but it was actually flared. Next, sew a gathering stitch around the bottom of the skirt. Sew around the bottom. For a poufier skirt, like the Henley Skirt, add some netting between the layers. Now gather the top edge of the skirt to match the top edge of the lining. If this is part of a dress, tie to sew the skirt to the dress.
The Layered Skirt Today I have a layered skirt to share with you. I know I know gasp another skirt. But I love skirts. I have seen skirts like this a lot. So this is what I came up with instead. What you need: One old skirt (or fabric to make a skirt base) Fabric cut in strips Step 1: Take an old skirt. Step 2: Starting with the bottom of the skirt pin the first strip along the bottom edge. then sew in place. Step 3: make your way up the skirt overlapping your strips and sewing them in place. Step 4: Sew the strips all the way to the top then at the top take one last strip. Enjoy your creation!
Travel Accessories: Roll-up Makeup Brush Case This handy case is not only great for travel, it's also dandy for everyday storage of your make up brushes. We used one of the four pretty laminates from Anna Maria's Loulouthi collection as our inside fabric choice so if any traces of make up rub off your brushes and onto the case, it can be quickly wiped clean. Laminates are traditionally made in the wider 54-55" width. So, you'll definitely have some pieces left over from this project. In fact, you may have enough to make our stylish insulated lunch bag. Our Travel Accessories series is sponsored by Free Spirit Fabrics, as part of our Artist Trio Series introducing Anna Maria Horner's amazing Loulouthi fabric collection. Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome 2160 Decor Computer) Take the pins out and remove and set aside the outside fabric layer (Loulouthi Butterberry in our sample).Pin the remaining layers back together.Fold these layers in half and mark the exact center with pins top and bottom.
