belt- Autumn Bloom Belt
As I mentioned yesterday, I LOVE autumn. Yesterday autumn got its own wreath and today it's getting its own belt. I'm going to show you how to make this belt and these fun flowers. When I made it I envisioned wearing it with a cute brown tunic, but I still haven't found or made one yet. Until then this dress will give you the idea. Let's get started. Cut your grograin ribbon to be the correct length. Find the center of the ribbon. To make the flower cut the felt lengthwise in about a one inch strip. Cut slits in the strip as shown. Do this down the entire length of the strip. Start rolling the strips like a cinnamon roll. When you're done your flower will look like this, front and back. On to the petal. Fold one part over the other (as shown) and glue it. Head into your closet and see what matches your new belt! Thank you to all of you who have been enjoying our Loopdeeou headband blow out sale. Have a lovely day.

Make your own fabric prints using the sun
The folks who make Inkodye sent over a sample the other day. Inkodye is light-sensitive dye for textiles or any natural fibers, including wood and raw leather. It acts like the Sunprint paper you might have used as a kid, only you can brush this dye on anything you want and it comes in lots of colors. Like orange, of course. For my first test of this magical stuff, I planned to make a safety pin print on fabric. Something quick and easy in case it was a flop. I wrapped cardboard with a piece of old plastic tablecloth to make a waterproof surface. Then I poured a little Inkodye onto a paper plate, and with a foam brush, I painted it onto the fabric. As soon as I was done brushing on the dye, I scrambled to arrange some safety pins on top of the fabric. Outside the back door, I placed the board in direct sunlight. To keep the dye under the pins from developing, I immediately rinsed the fabric under the faucet and then washed it out with laundry detergent.

shirt- restyle hip cinched
I saw this: And I made this: All you need is: a shirt(t-shirt would even work), a piece of fabric, a ribbon, and a sewing machine. 1. find a shirt and turn it inside out. 2. lay your ribbon down, then cut a piece of fabric big enough to cover your ribbon. 3. pin the piece of fabric over the ribbon. 4. sew on the fabric, making three long stitches, between the ribbon and on each side. 5. cinch and tie and your all done!

scarf-Slasher Scarf by Jill of Lune Vintage
Hi! It's Jill from Lune Vintage. I'm here to share a simple 1970s inspired scarf with you today! Materials & ToolsLength of Jersey Material (with a bit of stretch). A recycled t-shirt will work well if the content is 5% to 10% lycra or spandex. Sharp Fabric Scissors Step 1: Cut your jersey into a long rectangular strip. Step 2: Fold your fabric accordion style, beginning at one end, zig zagging back and forth until you can align the edge of the other end with the stack. Step 3: Firmly hold the folds in place so they don't slip, and cut even slits along one on the long sides of the stack with nice sharp fabric scissors (paper ones won't be sharp enough for this clean cut). Step 4: Here's the fun and important finishing move! Enjoy your Slasher scarf! Thanks so much, Jill!

scarf- Fox Scarf with Free Pattern
I’d like to introduce to my little friend here, Frédéric. He took one foggy afternoon to whip up and has been lazily resting on my shoulders ever since. He is made from the finest of flannels and the coziest minky, and boy is he toasty. Want to make a Frédéric of your own? The best thing about this pattern is that you can make a variety of different animal scarves with it: raccoon, wolf, or skunk perhaps? Round out the snout and ears to make it a bear or panda. Keep reading for the full DIY Fox Scarf tutorial and pattern… DIY Fox Scarf with Free Pattern Begin by downloading the Fox Scarf Pattern. You can make the fox scarf body as long as you want, just use the pattern to shape the head and tail. Sew just the face together on the inside and flip right-side out. Cut out the ears, sew and turn right-side out. Place them where the pattern ear line is and zig-zag stitch them down to the flannel fabric only. Here they are popped up. Do the same for the legs. Pin the arms and legs to each other.
