Fit to a T baby romper tutorial part 2: Making the Pattern and Cutting « The Seamery This post is intense, since you are making lots of decisions at this stage. Really it’s much simpler than it looks (isn’t that what they all say?), but I will ask you to please make a test piece to make sure you are perfectly happy with your fit and technique before you cut up your vintage concert T’s! 1) Trace a foundation garment to make a block pattern. Find a garment that fits your intended recipient. I like to use a close-fitting onesie as a sloper of sorts and go from there, so I’ll refer to this chosen garment as a onesie, although a sleeper, romper, or even a T shirt can work too. Turn the onesie inside out and trace all of the pieces. When tracing a onesie, I trace the longer of the panels that goes between the legs, but more importantly I also snap the onesie closed and mark this depth too. onesie traced, with depth between the legs marked But…I have been known to trace and cut on the fold like I did in these shots, if I’m feeling lucky. leg line sketched for a STRAIGHT romper

Step 4: Tug down on each strand to elongate it. photo credit: Cathy Hayes for Lakeland Local Welcome to the gOOd life: DIY: a thrift find dress to a peplum dress I got this dress at a thrift store for $4. I liked the color and knew it had potential. I tend to go through "obsessions" with clothes, like two years ago, it was ruffles. My favorite part?

After: What you'll need: -bigger/longer dress -hook & eye closure -matching thread -scissors -a sewing machine/needle & thread Estimated time: 1.5-2 hrs. Budget: $4 Skill level: intermediate
Catch and Release Scarf So here is my tutorial for the Catch and Release Scarf from Anthro. Better late than never right? Materials: - 1 piece of fabric about 90 inches long- elastic thread- matching thread (all purpose)- rit dye (optional)- tailors chalk- sewing needle * Your fabric needs to be light weight, breezy, and somewhat see thru. 1 - Cut your fabric so that you have one long piece that is about 90" x 17" 2 - To finish the two long edges fold in 1/4", press, fold another 1/4", and press again. 3 - Leave the top thread of your machine with your normal all purpose thread. 4 - Using your tailors chalk, mark 3 vertical lines down the middle of your fabric - each 4 inches apart. 5 - With all purpose thread as your top thread, and elastic thread as your bottom thread, stitch all three vertical lines from top to bottom allowing it to gather as it goes. 6 - Using a sewing needle, pull the regular thread to the back and tie a knot with the elastic thread to secure ends.

Jersey Scarf Repurposed T-shirt Necklace/Scarf Well we are three days into September and I am working hard to put my stash to work. Today I'm going to show you how to make a simple scarf/necklush from an old T-shirt. I think that this is my first step in preparing for fall. Want to make one for yourself? The first thing that you need to do is select an old t-shirt that you are willing to donate to the cause. The shirt that I chose was a failed bleaching experiment. Once you have your shirt you will want to lay it out flat and cut it apart just below the arm holes. Next you will cut the bottom section into strips. Next I cut the sleeves and the neckline off of the remaining piece of fabric. If you have selected an appropriate knit then your strips should curl easily when pulled. Next gather your curled strands together with seams meeting up (the seams generally don't curl). Using the smaller strips of fabric (from the top portion) I made two long braids. You can wear your scarf anyway you want it.
Day 349: From Sleepshirt to Sassy Dress | ReFashionista A lot of you guys have told me how much you loved my T-shirt refash from Day 210, and have asked to see more. Well…today is your lucky day, friends! :) I started off with this khaki tee from the Dollar-a-Pound Goodwill. It’s actually really comfy. I made a cut down the middle of each sleeve, like so: Just a little snip! Then, I pulled the neck hole down under my arms and tied the sleeve sections together in the front! Now that Tee has gone from sleepshirt to sassy! It’s still really comfy, too! Thrift stores are crammed full of plain ol’ tees. It’s that easy!
