Scallops Wrapped In… | Sew I Thought… ← Pinterest Come to Life – Rosette WreathWhere have you been all my life? → Scallops Wrapped In… Well my scallops aren’t wrapped in anything but I’m wrapped in them! After my previous post about my ill fitting bodice I had to practice my least favorite stitch – the frog. After all the work I am overwhelmingly pleased with my finished product. Here is how the back of the wrap dress looks. This boy and I rode our bikes over to a cute little historic square for these pics. After all that work sometimes I start to wonder if sewing is worth it but once you get the exact finished look you were dreaming of how could you ever want to stop?

Small Clutch I made another linen, metal zipper clutch. It's a wonder I haven't made 6 more (I guess it's those other obligations I have like my day job). Just like the internet, I am obsessed with these and could have one in every size and color. This one is a small size, for just carrying the essentials out or for using as a wallet, which is how I'm using it now. The construction is exactly the same as the larger version I posted about here, but you'll start with different dimensions. The final dimensions of this clutch will be 5"x8" (larger version here, is 11.5"x11.5"). Cut your exterior and interior fabric to 10"x11". Cut your zipper to 8". I added a small pocket to the inside. Just as instructed in the larger clutch tutorial, make a small piece of binding in your exterior fabric to wrap the raw edges of your zipper in. Once you've stitched your first zipper side down, complete the second. Attach the zipper to the fabric on both sides. Stitch up the raw sides. Bind your interior raw edges.

Modest Clothing | Modest Outfits | Modest Fashion Blog | Clothed Much Hey everyone, my name is Crystal from hey COOBABE. I blog about daily life with my husband and sweet baby girl with budget style and beauty thrown into the mix. I love a good deal but I don't like to sacrifice great style so I try to find trends for cheap or make it myself. Recently, I've been looking for a modest high-low skirt everywhere and finally refashioned an old dress to make one. I hope you enjoy the tutorial and feel free to stop on by and say hello! Let's jump right in, shall we? What you'll need:oversized dresssewing machinematching threadscissorsrotary cuttermarking chalkmetal pins1" wide elastic (any color)seam ripperiron and ironing boardtwo safety pins Go get an oversized dress from a thrift store. Measure your waist and cut a strip of the 1" wide elastic in your waist length plus two more inches. Turn your skirt inside out and iron down a 1/4" hem around the waist. Iron an additional 1 1/2" hem. Sew a box with a dash through it on the overlapped part of the elastic.

She was making these super cute envelopes out of scrapbook paper and I really wanted to make some! So I came home and made some! They are so so SO simple and add a personal touch to your envelopes. You will need: An old magazine, scissors, an envelope, a glue stick and a Sharpie. Tear out some magazine pages that you like. Carefully pull the envelope apart. Trace the envelope on a magazine page. Cut the envelope shape out. Turn the envelope over as well as the magazine cut-out. Unfold everything and separate the magazine cut-out from the envelope. Glue the bottom flap down to the two side flaps. And you've made your own envelope! The great thing about making these envelopes our of magazine pages is that the envelopes have a character all of their own.
wool camera wrap One thing I’m typically seen lugging around is a camera. Most camera bags are overkill, especially when you just want a bit of protection walking around, or you’re packing a camera in another bag for a short trip. I picked up a nice looking, heavy wool remnant from the Pendleton outlet last weekend, so I figured I could try my hand at a simple camera wrap. Now I’ve got just the right amount of walk-around camera protection without the “tourist look.” — Matt See the full how-to after the jump! Making a structured camera with soft fabric is kinda crazy unless you use a stiff liner, so I was aiming for more of a protective wrap.

glitternglue.com This Blessed Life: Getting Mold Out of the Shower–Before & After EDIT: This post, which started out with about 6 comments from my followers when first posted back in 2012, has now gone viral on Pinterest - as of 6/18/13 it has received over 2.5 million views! Insanity. Clearly I am NOT alone in my quest to get rid of the moldy grout. :) I simply shared my story of removing my nasty, embarrassing mold from my window-less bathroom. I am not a contractor, a plumber, or any kind of house expert. I'm just a stay-at-home-mom with a mold problem in her shower that wanted to get rid of it before her mother-in-law came to visit. :) I used to respond to comments on this post, but there are simply too many for me to keep up with. I’m lowering my pride today and showing you something only because I think it will help others in my predicament. Okay, are you with me? When we first moved into our new house last May, the shower was pristine. Anyway, over about 6 months, mold started to creep in on the grout along the shower. Here is the before shot (barf): A-mazing.
Underside What you’ll need: Victim bag, Conical Studs (buy here or ebay), sharp scalpel, metal ruler or butterknife to bend prongs, and about 3 movies to watch while studding. Stud away! I’m not really going to instruct people exactly how to stud, it’s the easiest thing since peeing in your pants. Thanks to Juli from Pigeon.Toed for advising me to get a vintage bag, I hadn’t thought about it when I started planning this DIY but then I found this bag in Rockit and it became so clear I didn’t want an A.Wang replica.
