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.

Main Ingredient Monday – Paint Stirrers I am really loving this new feature 'round here. Really, any reason to scour pinterest and google is fine by me! This week we have paint stirrers-you know the wooden sticks you get when you buy a gallon of paint. I have never tried to score a big bunch at once, but I am betting that if you are real sweet to the folks behind the paint counter at Home Depot or Lowes, they will give you a few. Tell them you are making a light fixture or building a shelf out of them and they will be so perplexed they will give you 2 handfuls!

How to Make Clothing Buttons from Shrink Plastic… | scissors This tutorial is an old one of mine that’s too good not to share again. Since posting the first time, I’ve had lots of questions about these buttons which will hopefully be answered in this revised post. Equipment Some handy notes: 1. single hole, hole punch (like this one here). 2. 3. Okay.. lets get started! Tracing tips: You can use either coloured pencils or permanent pens. Words must be writted backwards in order to be readable. Shrinking the buttons: To shrink the buttons, you can use an oven or a heat gun (the kind used for embellishing). After the buttons have twisted and twirled, and are LYING FLAT, it’s time to take them out. Note: If the skrinking is taking too long, you may need to turn your oven up. Here’s a short little stop-motion to make sure you’ve got the gist of how easy this is! Shrink Paper {here} Circle Punch {here} Hole punch {here} Pens {here} Update: I’ve made a video to show how to shrink the buttons using a craft embellishment heat gun. Kimanh Hi my name's Kimanh.
Mod Podge Canvas Art | the creative paige So, I was inspired by this canvas art from Crap I’ve Made posted at Tatertots & Jello…I knew I loved it the moment I saw it. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make my own version without using magazines, because well, we don’t get magazines here at our house in Mexico. But I do have an abundance of scrapbooking paper scraps (because I save them all), so I decided to try to use the same technique with different supplies. I pulled out all of my scraps and started tearing them into smaller pieces. I had my 2-year-old help me with mod podging them onto the canvas. My original goal was to make a Welcome sign, so I cut the word “Welcome” out on my Silhouette SD and traced it onto the canvas using pencil. First, it was crooked. LESSON LEARNED: Use a much more simple shape, like the bird on the branch of my inspiration. Luckily, this is a project that you can easily fix. So, I found a coffee cup image with some cute heart-shaped steam and cut it out on the Silhouette. linked up at

Basic Macrame Knots: A Free Tutorial by Dottie Hoeschen copyright 2014 Dottie Hoeschen all rights reserved People have been tying knots since the beginning of time and they serve both utilitarian and decorative purposes. It is a fascinating combination of art and science. I hope that these step by step photos will take some of the mystery out and encourage you to try it on your own. By the way, a knot can have several different names, so don't be surprised if you find these same knots under different names. This is the one we all know. This kind of knot is used to connect the cord to an object. The square knot is the basis of many designs. A single tightened Square Knot. Three completed Square Knots. If you only use Steps 1 and 2 of the Square Knot, you have tied a Half Knot. The Alternating Half Hitch switches back and forth between the two cords.

I've gotten such a good response to my macrame tutorial that I decided to add more knots! 1. 2. 3.
