DIY Sandals! And now for something really different, DIY sandals! Okay, not our usual Curbly fare, but c'mon...these are outstanding! The tute comes to us from Annekata who used a pair of used flip-flops to make them.

A New Top For Me, Plus Tips on Drafting a Pattern From a T-Shirt. I've had this t-shirt/top project on the back burner for a while.
It's a project that I think about all the time, but have been to timid/hesitant to try. (I even have a nice little collection of solid knits just for me.) I don't have any problem making patterns up for my daughter. She would look cute in a paper bag. Fitting me is a bit more challenging and I dislike wasting time, effort and fabric on creating something for myself and then it not be flattering. The Made by Rae Spring Top Challenge finally motivated me to get going on a top for myself. Since I couldn't make the Burda top, I decided to bite the bullet and make a pattern for myself. I slightly regret my fabric choice because this fabric tends to pucker along the stripes after washing and I am not much for ironing. I think it came out really cute, and I predict several variations of this shirt in my future. If you want to try making your own pattern, here are a few tips: 1. 2. 3.
10 Splendid DIY Shoe Makeovers. Who doesn't love to usher in springtime with a new pair of fun shoes? Although these shoes look new, not all of them are. Some are from the thrift store, others are well-loved kicks that needed TLC, whereas others just needed a little 'something' to make them shine. The techniques used to transform them are easily reproduced, thanks to the accompanying tutorials. (All 'befores' are on the left; 'afters' on the right where applicable.) First on the list is Kaitlin's spring-y Van makeover (pictured above), which she accomplished using a homemade stencil. These much-loved Toms were getting a little hole-y, so a patch was in order. The maker gave these little doll shoes a Dorothy do using glitter. This next pair of shoes were picked up for 59 cents at Taylor's favorite consignment store. Found on the clearance rack, these flats needed a little something to make them really pop.
Ten dollar flats in need a little something. I love this super simple idea from Country Living.
