I know there are a lot of readers who are not into sewing but want to start, so this would be perfect for you. Like this?

sewing 101: fabric boxes It seems no matter what I do, I can never get a handle on all the tiny odds and ends that accumulate around my house. From craft materials to hair ties, the bits and bobs are constantly trying to take over, so in the never-ending quest to corral them, these little fabric bins were born. You can make one of these soft boxes in almost no time, and in almost any size, so you can customize them to perfectly fit whatever you need to hold. Top each one off with a label holder (also customizable in any shade of the rainbow, thanks to nail polish), and you’ll have a leg up on clutter . . . for a little while, at least. — Brett Bara Read the full how-to after the jump . . . Materials a sturdy fabric, such as canvasthread to matchsewing machine, iron and basic sewing supplieslabel holdersnail polish (optional) 1. I couldn’t find label holders in a color I liked, so I decided to customize my own by painting them with neon pink nail polish. 2. Begin with any size square or rectangle fabric you like.
DIY Washi Tape Laptop Keyboard Look whose little old MacBook got a facelift this weekend! I spotted this idea from minifanfan on Making It Lovely last week and just had to give it my own spin. I purchased my Japanese washi tape from Le Box Boutique on Etsy. There are hundreds of washi tape sellers but I chose Le Box because they allow you to purchase tape by the foot rather than having to purchase the entire roll. They were very easy to interact with and I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking to purchase washi tape! I chose these ten patterns but only ended up using eight of them on my keyboard. I first thoroughly cleaned my keyboard with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oil that might keep the tape from sticking. I originally wanted to do all the keys, including the small keys in the top row, but the tape seemed to have a harder time sticking to the small keys. This project was a bit tedious but simple – perfect for a few hours in front of the tv. What do you think? Tagged as: craft, diy, tutorial

Klippertill | Saker jag sytt Flight of the Pook: Sunny days & great big fat crochet We've had some really beautiful days here lately. Recently, I made a small kitchen rug for Jon's mom. I like crochet because it's very forgiving. And it's quick. I didn't really use a pattern or anything. Anyway, it worked up in a few hours. This kind of thing is really fun and easy to do. As you can see, I get a lot of help around here... UPDATE: Due to popular request, I've created a vlog tutorial series on this project.
tousled day: DIY Patchwork Jeans Clutch Sjećate se moje misije korištenja starih traperica? E pa do sada sam napravila jednostavne projektiće (za hlačice mi je trebalo 5 minuta, a za suknju možda malo duže od pola sata). Danas sam ipak dala sebi truda. Patchwork jeans clutch (ako znate hrvatski naziv za patchwork ili za clutch – javljajte u kom)! Ili možda torbica skrpana od starih traperica Meni se taaako jako sviđa! Izrezala sam 30 kvadratića veličine 8 x 8 cm Posložila sam ih da vidim kako bi mi odgovaralo da mi na kraju patchwork izgleda. Sve u svemu, meni se sviđa. This is how it should look on the back side I have a lot of old jeans. This is my new jeans project, and I have to admit that it is quite time consuming, but I believe that it’s worth it! Patchwork jeans clutch! Well, as many of you know, I’m beginner in world of sewing, but I made small tutorial for all of you with questions. I made 30 squares 8 x 8 cm (that’s about 3,6 x 3,6 inches) First I made a plan how to organize pattern. I like it!
Stickoskapa: Sy förvaringsboxar av bordstabletter Som bäst inreds kommande ungens egen vrå i sovrummet med byrå och skötbord. Det är en hel del nya grejer som har införskaffats och alla dessa ska förstås placeras någonstans på ett lättillgängligt och städat vis. Skötbordet har två våningar, den lägre tänkt för förvaring. På jakt efter textila förvaringsboxar kände jag att priserna var alldeles för höga i förhållande till mängden boxar jag skulle behöva. Ynka 1,95 euro kostade vanliga textila bordstabletter i måtten 35x45 cm, rimligt. Så, hamstringen inleddes, jag köpte alla turkosa bordstabletter som fanns, totalt 9 stycken. Vik tabletten på mitten, så att stadkant följer stadkant och fåll möter fåll. Såhär ser den utvikta tabletten ut när den är klippt. För ihop de vänstra kortsidorna med varann och de högra kortsidorna med varann. Sy ihop kortsidorna med en bred sicksacksöm, det spelar ingen roll om detta görs från rät- eller avigsidan. Just trestegssicksacken är viktig emedan grovt vävda material som dessa lätt rispar upp.
