You'll need: -1.5 - 2 yards of fabric, and then a half yard or so if you want to line the hood with contrast -tape measure, chalk, sewing machine or needle and thread, scissors, etc. -fitted t-shirt/tank top for torso pattern Ready?? Start out by laying your fabric down, right sides together (I didn't do that in the picture), and lay down your fitted tee on top. Cut it out, pin, and sew along the red lines as shown: Leaving it inside out, trim down the neckline a little so the front is a little lower than the back. [I can't find this picture, but it's pretty self-explanatory.] Take out your tape measure, and measure one side of the armholes.

Making sure they're even, double your measurement, and draw out a sleeve shape on more of your fabric. Pinned: Saucydwellings: String tree how-to. In the past I've had people request instructions on how to recreate the string tree I made in my living room. While I don't have a full tutorial, I do have enough to get you going so you can hopefully recreate this fun project at home.

Here's the tree in my living room that started all the trouble: I apologize in advance for the quality of the photos, when I took them my camera's screen had died- so I could take pictures but I couldn't really aim or anything or be sure the photo had come out. Start by putting pushpins into the wall in the general shape of the tree you're hoping to create.

I generally have a photo of a tree printed out to give me a basic guide as to the shape I'm going for. Any good drawing teacher will tell you that the rules of trees are thus: Don't be too symmetrical or regular with the branches, trees are not ladders.Generally odd numbers of things look better than evenDon't try to make it too perfect. Other pointers I would give you would be: Don't be too linear. The Basic Binding of Books: A Tutorial.

In addition to your book making materials you will need: 1) A large working area (if you don't have a large area, you will need to clean up well after each stage) 2) Both large and small binder clips (I use them gratuitously) 3) A waste paper basket close by 4) A stack of clean scrap paper 5) Pre-cut sheets of wax paper 6) A wet cloth (for wiping glue from fingers) 7) A dry cloth Start by deciding how many pages and what dimensions you wish your book to be.

Clamping the spine end with large binder clips (here I use cardboard to protect the pages) and allowing to compress overnight helps with having flatter signatures for sewing. It helps to make a pattern of your page for later use in measuring and cutting board, endpages, etc. Lay one of your signatures on a blank page and trace, then cut. Perfect. Measure and cut linen tape and mull cloth for the backbone. Making things beautiful again. Boy belt tutorial. February 15th, 2010 My middle son is jumpy and crazy and skinny and tall–all of which make his pants fall down quite often (if he is wearing pants that is), so I thought I’d make a belt for him. In honor of Celebrate the Boy month at Made and Made by Rae I drew up a pattern to share with all of you.

The finished belt is 1 1/2 inches wide and adjusts to fit waist sizes of about 20 inches to 24 inches. To make a different size take the waist measurement you want to use then add 8 inches: the main fabric will be (waist size + 8)inches by 3 1/2 inches and the lining fabric will be one inch shorter. Materials: one piece of fabric cut 30 inches long and 4 inches wide, preferablly cut parallel to the selvege, but as long as it’s not cut on the bias it will work out just fine.one strip of canvas or denim (or something that is a similar weight) 29 inches long and just shy of 1 1/2 inches wide.three snaps and snap setting toolone 1 1/4 inch D-ringscissors, pins, iron, sewing machine Steps: Variations:
