Book Nerd Book Nerd Olá! Primeiro quero dizer que estou oficialmente de férias! Há uma hora atrás tive o meu último exame Não correu muito bem mas tou de férias não interessa! Bem ao ler alguns dos meus posts podem ter reparado que adoro ler! Era uma antiga t-shirt que nunca usada e tingi-a com lixívia. Para ser sincera não estava muito preocupada em ficar com defeitos por isso apenas cortei o papel e pus onde queria que as letras ficassem, não usei nenhuma fita cola ou papel de contacto xD A minha mistura foi 1 parte de lixívia para 2 partes de água. Acho que vou fazer mais destas t-shirts com outras palavras! 11 Responses to “Book Nerd” Malu Dini (Malluh) says: %A %B %e%q, %Y at %I:%M %p Caaaath! Tudo bem, menina?

Recycling Ideas For Old Sweaters T-shirt Bag Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closed in a class version of the bags, so I started brainstorming about some kind of hand-sewing-friendly or no-sew bag idea…. and here’s what I came up with! The simplest version of these bags is great for smaller tees, or the more light-weight kind of girl-tees – just turn the bottom of the shirt into a drawstring and tie it closed! As you can see, even with a not huge tee, this will still leave a significant hole in the bottom of your bag, but for purposes like grocery shopping, this size hole shouldn’t really matter… But to make smaller holes, just make more than one of them! And now for the actual tutorial – for this one, with the step-by-step, I will be making the bottom with 3 holes. My finished Sonic bag!
