customized plastic bracelet / pulsera de plástico personalizada
I've got these plastic bracelets on a "everything-cheap-store". They cost only 50 cents, and I thought at that price I could always do something with. So I customize them with lycra socks ( clean and new one ;). Encontré estos brazaletes de plástico en una "tienda-de-todo-barato". Sólo cuestan 7 pesos, pensé que a ese precio siempre podía hacer algo. Así que los personalizé con medias de lycra ( limpias y nuevas ;). Some explanations: Put the bracelet in the tights and cut each side leaving an edge to seam.Join the two parts of the tights and sew them together.At this point, the bracelet is inside the fabric and the seam is on the outside of the bracelet Turn seam to the inside, and voila! Algunas explicaciones: Coloque la pulsera en la media y cortan de cada lado dejando un borde para la costura.Unir los dos bordes de la media y coser los juntos.En este punto, la pulsera está dentro de la tela y la costura está en el exterior del bracelete.Gire la costura hacia el interior, y ¡voilá!
Empire Waist Dress - Comfy Sews Vs. Cozy Knits
Shannon from Luvinthemommyhood invited me to participate in her latest “Versus” series – Comfy Sews vs. Cozy Knits. Guess which side of the ring I’m on?………ding, ding, ding……you guessed it, Comfy Sews. I love Shannon and her blog so I’m thrilled she has chosen to include me again! For this challenge I decided to create an easy Empire Waist Dress. This dress could certainly be made the exact same way for a non-pregnant person and would be just as cute! Empire Waist Dress Maternity and Non-Maternity Supplies: 1 shirt 1-1.5 yards jersey knit fabric (60 inches wide) Scissors Sewing machine Iron and ironing board Ball-point sewing needle (for sewing with knits) Directions: Grab a shirt. Cut off the bottom of the shirt. Here’s the top of my shirt after it had been cut. And what will I be doing with the bottom of the shirt? Since this shirt had buttons down the front I decided to sew the button area shut. Now it’s time to cut your knit fabric. I cut the skirt portion of the dress 27″ long x 60″ wide.
Pasta necklace...again!
I know....this is the third post (for those who follow) with pasta necklaces ... I can't stop! We went to Belgium a few weeks ago to visit family but also for my cousin wedding! My sister had a nice long green dress and she wanted a gold necklace to go with! If you want to see previous versions is here and here.Let start with the tutorial: Cut a piece of faux leater like the first picture. I glued first, and tried to pass the chain after...not a good idea! Result is very chic, but you have to be careful with this version of pasta necklace, spaghetti are not glued all over the fabric, so they are more fragile. I also made a pair of earrings to match! And once I had finished my daughter, 3 years old, thought it was a good idea to play hammer on the necklace .... aaaarrrggg!
La jupe qui fait top
Voici venues les vacances…Tu pars bientôt et tu connais bien le problème du « mais si j’te dis que ça rentre ! » ? (Alors que non, même en sautant dessus c’est un fait, la valise ne ferme pas ! ) Bien sûr, tu pourrais en prendre deux mais papa/chérichou/la tripotée de copines (rayer la mention inutile) ne seront sûrement pas d’accord… La solution la voilà : la jupe qui fait top, ou le top qui fait jupe, c’est comme on veut. Il nous faut : – un bon mètre de jersey – des ciseaux, du fil, des aiguilles – une machine à coudre Etape 1 : les mesures Tu mesures… eh oui, c’est l’étape que l’on ne peut pas zapper ! Tu mesures aussi ton tour de hanche, et si tu as de la chance les mesures sont similaires… Etape 2 : le bandeau Le bandeau sert de ceinture à la jupe ou de soutien-nénés pour le top. Tu découpes un grand rectangle selon les mesures suivantes : – Longueur = tour de poitrine ou tour de hanche – Hauteur = hauteur des seins (Sur la photo, la couture est au milieu pour vous montrer.)
DIY Scalloped Skirt | Repupose an old tee
I reallt love new clothes – and what I love even more is clothes you can make out of old clothes. That’s just great! As I told in one of my previous posts I have (like every other girl) an ton of clothes which I never use. Yay! So, I founf this very old tee shirt which I never use. I’ve totally obessed with the new trend; scallops. So I had to add scallops to my new skirt. This easy tutorial can be used for any shirt/ tee etc. with an elastic band in the waist. DIY Scalloped Skirt What you need An old tee/ shirtScissorSewing maschineScallop templateOr you can make your own. Start by cutting the “skirt-part” off. Zig zag around the cut won’t fray. For the next step you need a scallop template. I’m currently working on making a printable template for you. 1) Put some sticky notes on the card board or draw a line to make sure the scallops will end up having the same length. Tadaaa! Isn’t it cute! Have a nice weekend everybody!

Braided Four Strand Bracelet
I saw this tutorial for a beaded necklace and new I needed to try it. The instructions were easy to follow and it made a great bracelet. I added a gold chain and experimented with both a three strand braid and a four strand braid. I liked both but the four strand braid was a bit harder to work with. For full instructions see the tutorial.
Super Easy Dress
We had our third annual family Simple Portrait this weekend (last year's, 2 years ago). I love that I'm pregnant in this year's photo and that next year there will be 5 of us! As soon as we showed up for the shoot, Jude decided he was a dog -- crawling around the studio floor and barking. Classic. I spent the morning of the photo shoot making this super easy dress out of comfy, maternity-friendly knit fabric....one more thing I can cross off my Pinterest "Things I Want To Make" list. I paired it with another easy DIY find from Pinterest, the hipster scarf made from one of Daniel's old shirts. Happy Thanksgiving week! Arian : )
