Striped, Strapless No-Sew T-Shirt, DIY. I have been trying to come up with new, no sew T- shirts in different styles, and while I was experimenting on a no sew skirt this weekend, I came up with this cute no sew strapless shirt. You could wear this with your favorite jeans, shorts or even use it as a beach cover up. The best part is there is no sewing involved. What you need: – T-Shirt (I used a XL mens Tee) – Scissors – Tape –Garbage bag Fold your shirt in half and use your tape to tape across your shirt use your scissors to cut right above the tape, this tape helps me cut a straight line. Cut open where your sleeves are, along the seams on both sleeves. Place a garbage bag in between your shirt so the paint does not seep through. Tape off your shirt. and gradually made them bigger at the bottom. Now figure out the colors you want to use. I used Yellow, Orange and Pink. Now you have a strapless( No sew) shirt for summer. I hope you have a wonderful Monday. For more No sew Tee shirts ideas, check out My Blog Lots of Love, Anne
Series 1 - Part 2: THE FEAST OF THE FLOWER: Toilet Paper Rolls Ten days ago, I started a series of posts called The Feast of the Flower in which I am creating 50 different flowers using 10 different media/techniques in order to, ultimately, craft a fantastic wall hanging! You can check out Part 1 of the FOF -Feast of the Flower- right here. Today I had a ton o' fun making flowers out of toilet paper rolls. I took some process photos to show how easy this was. So, for my first flower, I cut a toilet paper roll into 3 sections. I then drew petals on all the sections. And cut away the excess to make 3 little crowns. I curved the petals: two crowns with petals curved out, one with petals curved in. And here is the first completed flower! Next came this one. For the third beauty, I cut a toilet paper roll in half. On these half sections, I drew some petals. I cut the petals out and folded them down and out. I also cut out little diagonal petals from the half inch section... And fit the petals inside each other, as before, to make this third flower! P.S.

Neck tie School Bag Got lots of neck ties lying around? Use them to make this unique bag! What you need Okay, you'll need a bunch of ties. Mine are all paisleys. Instructions Let’s start with the gusset/handle: you’ll need four ties: (Figure 1) Lay them out like this. Join each pair side by side with a super-wide triple zigzag stitch. (Figure 2) Just feed the ties through side by side, no “right sides together” or pinning or anything. Stitch each pair together side by side halfway up. (Figure3 ) Now you have have two pairs of ties sewn together. Just do another triple zigzag over the center of each tie following the center seam on the wrong side. (Figure 4) Now place the fat ends of the ties right sides together and stitch across with a regular straight stitch. Your gusset/strap piece is now complete! Now we are going to make the pattern for the front and back of the bag. (Figure 5) Now mark a dot at the inside points between the ties. Remove the ties and connect the dots. (Figure 6) Cut this pattern out. (Figure 7)
Embroidery: Two Color Technique One of my all time favorite craft books is The Constance Howard Book of Stitches. I find it a never ending inspiration. All of the pictures in the book are in black and white but they show the most creative embroidery stitches and opened me up to the idea of two (or more) color embroidery, which is something I'd never really thought of before. If you want to experiment with two color embroidery you can follow along with the charts below. All stitches are worked from the right side of the fabric.The odd numbers represent a needle exit point and the even numbers represent the entry point.The red numbers represent the first thread color and the brown numbers indicate the second thread color. If all of this doesn't make much sense try following along with the first stitch below, Basic Weaving, where I explain the steps in full detail. Basketweaving The idea behind the Basic Weaving stitch is very versatile and can be used in endless variations. Pekinese Start with a line of back stitching.

s Skirt Pattern Calculator A 60cm long, 50° skirt, made 3cm wider in the waist to allow for darts in the back. Here's a quick pattern calculator that tells you how to make two main arc pieces for a simple flared skirt. It does not consider seams, hems, or seam allowance, but you can figure that out on your own. Instructions Use the 'results' to measure out two identical pieces. The 'degrees' you put in will determine how much flare the skirt's got. On the other hand, if you put in more than 180 degrees, the tape measure will go inside the fabric and swing around the top: (click on either image to see full size) The idea is that you can play with the degrees setting to get pattern that fits the fabric you have.
