Kid’s Animal Backpack

And two I know for a fact that some of you moms/dads or aunties/sisters or whatever can totally benefit. This might have been my favorite of the week, probably because Beck loves it so much and it looks so cute on him when he runs around with its ears, arms, and legs flop all around. SO CUTE. DIY backpack. Supplies: 1 yard of durable fabric I used faux leather for the bottom... 1/2 a yard for the liner. drawstring, anything for closure I always have my hands full with my little boys on each hand.

I love backpacks and wanted to create one that would be functional and fit my style. You will need to piece the front/back part together by taping them. Press seams of pocket 1/4 inch. Sew the top 1/4 inch over. place the pocket in the middle of the front piece. Top stitch around leaving top flap open. You can make your own straps or purchase it from the fabric/craft store. 2 yards should be enough. For the straps I cut 2 strips 3in. by 28in. long and sewed them right sides together. Fold an end of the strap over an inch and sew a square evenly on the back panel. Sew the front and back panels right sides together.

Sew the bottom circular piece right sides together starting at any point. How To Make A DIY Leather Crossbody Bag. Post by Andrea They say necessity is the mother of invention, and I’d have to agree with them when it comes to most of my DIY projects.

How To Make A DIY Leather Crossbody Bag

I really love my simple leather pouch from American Apparel, so much so that my friend and I figured out how to make our own last year. But I kept running into the same problem when using it to go out for casual events like concerts and picnics, and that was where to put it and how to hold it when running around after kids or when the dining table was too full. So I decided to blend the functionality of a crossbody bag and the simplicity of the leather pouch into one great leather purse I could use all summer long. This project does involve sewing, but since it’s primarily straight line sewing, someone with intermediate sewing skills should be able to tackle this project. Friday DIY News, Video and Gossip - Jezebel. I know places like JoAnn's and AC Moore have classes sometimes.

You can call your local ones and ask, but also check out the local "mom-and-pop"-type fabric/sewing machine repair stores and ask them! The "indie" stores that are owned by and aimed towards younger clientele will most definitely have info or even their own store classes on how to sew.

I also recommend the book "Sewing for Dummies" on just the basics. 【旧牛仔裤被淘汰 9个环保处理法】一起来学着… 来自狂躁大儿童在堆糖网的分享. 堆糖网 分类 首页 热门 最新 良品购 特卖惠 家居生活 美食菜谱.

Macaron Coin Purse

Thanks to XYZZhandmade for her inspiring handmade and some tutorial links in Japanese, this, this, this and this. No, I can’t read Japanese but I can guess from the pictures on how to sew it. Here is the English version of tutorial on how to sew this macaron coin purse where I add more details in the sewing. The space inside the coin purse is quite limited but good enough to place some small jewelries like ear rings, rings; may be to keep some small coins, folded money; a place to keep small piece of note that wrote your shopping list and reminder etc. Or, simply use it as a key chain or hanging ornament.
