Make Fabric Flowers Let’s just jump right into making this flower… Start with a piece of fabric 3 inches wide by 24 inches long. Twist it really tight. Fold it in half and it will twist together on its own. Hot glue the unfolded end under to create the center of the flower. Continue wrapping around until you get to the folded end, gluing periodically. The real deal: It cost less than $0.30 to make one flower. Are you addicted to making fabric flowers yet?

Tutorial: Sy en enkel ficka Det här är ett av hur-många-som-helst sätt att sy en ficka. Jag har inte skrivit mått eller ritat skalenligt. Sätt fickan på önskad höjd på benet, tröjan elelr jackan, välj själv storlek och form! 1. 4. 7. Frågor på det? Offbeat Bride | Mini top hat tutorial I thought I'd just document how I made the hats, then with the benefit of my experience you can venture forth and give it a go yourself, knowing I had no idea what I was doing but still managed to do it good enough regardless! Things I used: Construction Paper (though any paper will do, this is just thicker so a bit easier) CompassPencil/pen Tape Patience Spray Adhesive Fabric for hats (I used satin for the white one, and an acetate lining for the coloured ones) Scalpel / Utility Knife / whatever you want to call it Scissors Hot Glue and Hot Glue gun Box board/strawboard/thick cardboard, whatever you want to call it. As long as its a thicker board that is still (just) bendable and will keep its shape. I used a mixture of 1.2mm and 2.4mm thick card. The groundwork: First up, I made a basic pattern out of paper and tape to work from. To do this, I started with the base of the hat. Then cutting along the line just drawn, it will leave the shape of the crown/barrel of the hat! Making the hat:

Melly Sews: Pickup Skirt Tutorial Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe via email so you don't miss a post. Today I’m going to share my pickup skirt tutorial I have been obsessed with pickup skirts lately. to the skirt with the His & Hers Henleys to the Fairytale Seersucker Dress, to pins from my Women’s Clothing Fashion Inspiration board on Pinterest, I’m all about the pickup skirt. My apologies that you’re going to see photos from both the His & Hers Henley Skirt and the Mountain Laurel dress. First, you need both your skirt and your lining. I know the lining looks kind of like a straight skirt in the pic above, but it was actually flared. Next, sew a gathering stitch around the bottom of the skirt. Sew around the bottom. For a poufier skirt, like the Henley Skirt, add some netting between the layers. Now gather the top edge of the skirt to match the top edge of the lining. If this is part of a dress, tie to sew the skirt to the dress. Now, put the dress/skirt on a dress form or hanger.
Stepping Thru Crazy: Men's Button-Up Refashion... into Ladies Tank! A few years ago, when the hubby and I lived in Florida (this was pre-kids, so make that 5-ish years...) I bought him a button-up shirt for his work. The deal was that he had to wear blue or white button-ups, so I thought, "Why not both at the same time?" It was actually really easy to do... let me try once again to tell you how I used a sewing machine... eh.... First things first, I chopped the sleeves off. Then I slipped the shirt on and pinned in the sides so that it fit. I took off the shirt, flipped it inside out and sewed up the sides where my pins were, trimmed off the excess, flipped it rightside out again, and tried it on to make sure it fit. Then I pinned the armholes the way I wanted them... carefully......and sewed them. Then I cut a piece of thick white ribbon, gathered one side/sleeve/armhole-front up kind of like a fan, and wrapped the ribbon around it. To secure it in place, I attached a button (cut from the excess shirt) with a needle and white thread. That's it!
pintuck practice I am making a blessing dress for baby Ruby (which may or may not actually be her name. We started calling her that a while ago, and I think it will stick, but don't hold me to it). Normally when I start a new project, I just wing it, but a blessing dress is special. It should have french seams and pretty details and not look like mom made it all willy nilly. Step one, the research (borrowed from my mother-in-law): There is a newer version available, but I am digging the retro 1979 copy. Step two, the practice (diamond pintucks): I used this great Riley Blake print to guide my pintucks, no marking required (love that). Diamond pintucks are a lot easier than they look.
BABY DOLL SUMMER STYLE Let’s begin by folding the paper in half, lengthwise (for symmetry). At the top of the paper, square a line across from the fold. From this line, measure along the fold the finished length of the dress. For example, the finish length of the model photo is 28″. Square a line from this point across the paper from the fold. Now along each of these draftlines, measure half the hip or bust measurement plus 6 inches (whichever is larger). Join each point to create a rectangle. From line AB, make a parallel line 9 inches down the fold. Divide this line into three equal sections and label the second third, point X. Divide the distance from X to the edge in half. Join a straight line from O to D. Parallel to line AB, draft a line across from fold 1 inch. Where it intersect line X, label +. Above point D, place a set-square on the sideseam line (OD) and draw in hemline with a smooth curve blending into the line CD from the 90 degree angle. Trace off each tier for each layer of the dress. Like this:

racerback tank tutorial: sewing with knits mondays Hi everybody! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Several months ago Shannon from Luvinthemommyhood and I got chatting about sewing with knits. Who doesn't love a comfy knit t-shirt or top? So we're putting together a few weeks worth of information on sewing with knits: Sewing with Knits Mondays Each Monday for the next month or so we'll feature either a new tutorial or technique on both blogs. Grab a little button if you'd like and join along, the code is over on my right sidebar! And be sure to stop over at Luvinthemommyhood to check out Shannon's super cute Poppy Top! Materials: 1 yard knit fabric, something with stretch to it ball point needle thread (polyester or polyester blend is best) walking foot (optional) twin needle (optional) I love this project because I scored a nice lightweight stretchy knit for $1 a yard at my local Hancock fabrics (you'd be able to find something similar at joanns, etc). Making the pattern: Grab a regular t-shirt that fits you well. Fold it in half.
