Alana Taylor hey :), so i want to make the diy t-shirt scarves but i have a question about step 5, where it says to cut 1-1 1/2 ” horizontal strips all the way up to the armpit. Like does this mean like you are cutting the shirt into separate strands then you just put them all together on your neck ? and when you stop at the armpit do you like get rid of the rest of the shirt ? like the sleves and like the neck line ?? haha hopefully you can help me ,btw you can answer this in my ask box if you want thx <3 — Asked by audaciously-ambitious I’m actually not the original creator of the t-shirt scarves, but I’ll post here how they say to do it. Lay out your t-shirts flat. Cut the two body portions of your t-shirt into horizontal strips so that you have loops (about 1” wide). Tips: the bigger your t-shirt, the longer your loops will be, and the more you can do with your scarf. Anyway, hope this helps.
Flipped Cream Blouse Let me start by saying this takes some time IF you are a beginner like me. Before you start looking at the pictures, although I’m sure you have already done so, it is best to visualize the process in your own words. I say this because there may be a better or easier way to do this. Tools: Thrifted blouse with pizzazz (random noun…I know)PinsChalk for tracing (Although I used a pencil. HAHA. This is a plain polyester blend blouse. This is the back. I found a shirt that fit me, placed it on top, and traced. Next I cut out the sleeves, shoulder pads (will use later), and the shoulder seams. After pinning the front flaps, I cut the shape of the back as so. My final results. -Please let me know if you’re stuck. –Send me a pic if you completed this one. —Before you leave, enter my giveaway. —Visit my SHOP

Make your Own Infinity Dress Hey guys, I've been wanted to make this dress for a while now and I finally got the chance! I seen this dress everywhere from Avon to HSN. Its a convertible dress that you can style so many different ways. The only thing is that every time I came across this dress it was always one solid color for the whole dress. I wanted to make one that had contrasting color block colors. So I picked up this fabric from the thrift store, the yellow fabric was $0.99 and the green was $0.75, and I used some more leggin fabric from my leggings dress I made. Sorry I don't have a picture of this step, but I basically used some of the legging fabric and sewed it to the skirt portion for my waist band.I then measured a yard of the yellow fabric and cut two yard long strips. With this step you want to make sure you are pinning (sewing) on the inner portion of the waist band Did I really get a dress for $1.75?
Simple Bow Tie Top I'm so happy about how this turned out. This is one of those projects that's been on my to do list forever and now that I finally got it done, I wish I had done it a long time ago. This is such a simple project. One of the easiest I've ever made. Don't have much sewing experience? Give this a go, I promise it's a piece of cake and any mistakes made are hardly noticeable because of the gather. Materials: 5/6 + yard knit & 1/3 yard silk, cotton, etc. My knit is 60" wide and my dusty pink silk (faux) is 45" wide. Your fabric doesn't have to be exactly as wide as mine, just keep in mind that if you buy a fabric that is less wide you may need to purchase more to compensate. Cut two large squares to the dimensions of 30" x 30" If you bought 5/6 yd of 60" fabric all you have to do is cut along the fold line. **Edit- 30" length gives you a long top. Make a casing at the top of each square. Sew down with a zig zag stitch (so it can stretch). Start working on your sash. Cut off extra fabric Voila.
Tuto du cache coeur manches courtes - La vie de Popy Voilà le tuto du cache coeur je précise que le modèle n'est pas parfait... Je n'avais pas de patron, je l'ai créé à partir d'un tee-shirt. La taille correspond à un 36-38 je pense. Alors, il vous faut:-le matériel habituel de couture (fil, tissus,...) Voici les patrons:le dos (ici il s'agit d'un demi dos mais il suffit de le repositionner symétriquement à côté) les pans de devant ( il en faut deux qui sont symétriques): Les mesures sont données avec les marges de couture qui sont ici très petites, étant donné que le tissus est transparent, j'ai réduit au maximum les ourlets et les coutures. Après découpage (fastidieux car mon tissus est très fluide et léger: viscose....), on obtient ca: on commence par assembler le dos et les pans de devant en haut (au niveau des épaules). Après avoir assembler les deux pans avec le dos, on obtient ça(les deux morceaux du bas sont les pans de devant et l'espace entre les deux est le futur col): Ensuite on va assembler les cotés avec le dos. De profil: De dos:
Paperbag Skirt Pattern I've been following Adventures in Dressmaking so long I can't remember exactly when or how I stumbled across her blog. But what I do remember is that I was instantly caught by her cute Anthropologie replicated designs. The nice part about Suzannah's blog is that she shows you exactly what patterns she used to make the dress and other examples of similar dresses that inspired it so that you can create the exact same look! Like the one we're seeing today! It's no wonder that Suzannah became such a fabulous sewing blogger. For a while now she's been planning her wedding, INCLUDING sewing her own wedding dress. And see some of her dress progress below. I mentioned once that I might post instructions on how to make a paper bag waist skirt. Today, let's look at some of what I'm going for with this paper bag skirt: a slightly more formal look than a basic gathered or elastic waist, usually involving pleats, also including a belt and belt loops. Here are some images of the basic idea: By Tulle: 1.
Sharpie Tie Dye Shirt This is a great project for kids, or adults. I first saw the idea on the blog found here. All you need are some Sharpies, rubbing alcohol and something to drip it from (I had a syringe), and a t-shirt, or other clothing. I put a piece of cardboard in my tank top to prevent bleeding. Step 1: Use the Sharpies to make marks on your t-shirt. Step 2: Drip some drops of rubbing alcohol. Watch your design expand Step 3: Dry your t-shirt completely before washing. After I washed it the colors faded, but I still like the look: TIP: After drying the shirt with a hair dryer, allow it to set for 24 hours before washing.
untitled This is another one of those - bubbling inside my head - patterns. I have seen many version of this skirt, in various sew and shows online and in stores too. I had always wanted to make one, but circular cuts kind of make me nervous. Finally I couldn't ignore the tiny voice in my head and thought- at the most I'll waste some fabric and an hour ( yeah its that simple...I don't know what I'm afraid of really) let me just go ahead and do it. So I did some calculations in my head, got off my butt and started cutting. Supplies: Knit fabrics in 2 coordinating colors - I'm recommending knit fabrics because they're more forgiving. Elastic for the waistband - I reused the hem of a Tshirt for the waistband in the skirt above, if you want to do the same you will need narrow ( quarter inch) elastic. Construction:Pattern:Here's the pdf pattern for sewing the skirt in 18-24 months size. First you need to measure the required length of the skirt. Join both the end points. Assembling the skirt: 1. 2.
