Bleach Dye Tank Top ∙ How To by violet s So the first step is to place a piece of cardboard in between the front of the shirt and the back of shirt so the bleach doesn't leak through or get on your surface. Next draw out your design or words in chalk on the shirt. This part can be a little tricky and may take a while so be patient. All of the chalk will wash out so don't worry if you make mistakes! Now trace over your sketch with a small paint brush dipped in non-diluted bleach. This was honestly a very simple project.
Flip-Flop Refashion: Part 1 (Braided Straps Summer is great. And warm. And full of outdoor activities and trips to the pool and random walks around the neighborhood. I love it. And my shoe of choice for these warmer months?? So, I saw a tutorial for this flip-flop makeover (great work Mother Huddle), floating around the web…….and the wheels started turning. I decided to just string all of the ideas together and create a whole series. First up? A quick and easy flip flop…….made with some braided knit fabric scraps, using the 5 strand braiding technique, shown here. These soft braided straps streeeeeetch the perfect amount, right around the back of my heel……..keeping the flip-flop snug and in place. I added little loops of fabric to the sides, to keep the braided straps in place. These little sandals are so light, they’re soft and stretchy, and my favorite part……..they’re inexpensive. ($2.50 to be exact) These flip-flops make me think of the beach……and make me miss GA. I guess I better find a sandy spot at the lake. And that’s it. Enjoy.

Green...Easy Knit Produce Bag Green…can mean more than one thing. There is green the color. And green, as in environmentally friendly. Today I am combining those two meanings into one with the: I made my reusable produce bag out of an old knit T-shirt. And then I went crazy! It is really easy and requires very little sewing. So let’s get started shall we? 1.)You just take an old T-shirt and turn it inside out. I made some small, some large. Some using the existing T-shirt hem and some not. 2.)Sew with a straight stitch or a narrow zig zag all the way around. Or you can finish the edge with: A French seam. A zig-zag stitch or serged edge - my favorite way. Make the seam allowance much smaller - like 1/8 of an inch. Or fold the seam allowance over to one side and stitch all the way around. 3. )You can do this next part 2 ways: Option 1: Draw lines to help guide you when you cut slits. and snip, snip, snip…with the tips of your scissors. You want to stagger the cuts like so… Option 2: Using your rotary cutter… 4.) 5.) That’s it!
Eat me Ink me - Jacket with corset lacing Hey, so, guys, it's time for a tutorial! this one will be a really simple one on how to modify your jacket/shirt/whatever to fit you better by adding corset lacing on the back. To start off here's the supplies you will need: ♥ a jacket (shirt, top, etc) ♥ Ribbon ♥ D-rings or lace (optional) ♥ safety pins and string (optional) So here's the jacket I'm going to work with. ♥ STEP 1 ♥ Put your jacket on and evaluate where it needs to be "tucked in". If you're as lucky as I am and your jacket has a seam doing on the back - out your points on the seam to make the lacing look as a part of the jacket rather than being "put on". ♥ STEP 2 ♥ If you know what you're doing you can skip this step. Put it on and lace up to make sure the fit is perfect for your body. ♥ STEP 3 ♥ ♥ If you're using Ribbon instead of D rings: Cut the necessary amount of ribbon in about 3cm/1.5inch long pieces. ♥ If you're using D-rings or something alike: I have these O-rings lying around, so I just used them
Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag! Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closed in a class version of the bags, so I started brainstorming about some kind of hand-sewing-friendly or no-sew bag idea…. and here’s what I came up with! The simplest version of these bags is great for smaller tees, or the more light-weight kind of girl-tees – just turn the bottom of the shirt into a drawstring and tie it closed! As you can see, even with a not huge tee, this will still leave a significant hole in the bottom of your bag, but for purposes like grocery shopping, this size hole shouldn’t really matter… But to make smaller holes, just make more than one of them! And now for the actual tutorial – for this one, with the step-by-step, I will be making the bottom with 3 holes. My finished Sonic bag!
How to Make Snappy Photo Totes Embarking on a road trip in the near future? Or just got back from an epic weekend driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles and back? Last week our friends the Pistol Annies shared a few of their favorite ways to trick out travel photos, and now we’re here with our own homespun hack. Armed with a clever Polaroid-izing app, iron-on transfer paper, and a trio of bags, read on to see how to create your own snappy photo totes. Materials: - tote bags - printable iron-on transfer for dark fabric Tools: - iron - scissors - inkjet printer - Shake It Photo app We used a few totes in our bag of totes and iron-on transfer paper made specifically for dark fabric. To create your printable Polaroid pics, download the Shake It Photo app. Print out your pics! Iron your tote bag so that the surface is as smooth as possible. Voila! The photos on this tote are from Colorado, New Mexico, and Lake Tahoe. We did the same thing with a white tote and collection of photos from the Grand Canyon.
A Femme’s Guide to Improvement: Make a Blouse! So I got an email from Jane last week, linking to this top: “The one I tried on was shorter and not sheer. Can you show us how to make it? It looks SO beautiful on and it's a fucking square with a hole in it, that's it. A square folded in half, a neck hole cut out, and two short seams on the sides to hold it in place. Does that make sense? UGH! It is three hundred dollars because they say it is! Dolce and Gabbana probably charged even more when they did this a decade ago for their S/S 2002 collection, which was when, as a freshman in college, I saw it and decided I had to have it. You’ll need: A yard and a halfish of standard 45" wide fabric with nice drape. So, how much fabric to buy? Machine or hand-sew the two folded edges on both pieces of fabric before proceeding, as close to the inner folds as possible. Headhole: 13” Scye: 9.5” Very loose hip: 39” Place your rectangles together, right sides facing each other, and use two pins to mark your headhole opening. You’re done!
DIY: Happy Ice Cream Face Applique Tee…An Alternative to a Screenprint So to break up the monotony of my 30 days of outfits …I thought to share with all of you this cute and easy DIY. I first saw this on Ramblings from the Sunshine State , where Wendy shared her how-to for a 6 Scoop T-Shirt for her daughter’s ice-cream-themed 6th birthday party. I loved the idea of adding brightly-colored quilting fabric to a t-shirt! I’m always dreaming of screenprinting designs into tees…The colors! Fabric paint I don’t like very much, as even the “soft” fabric paint adds stiffness to the shirt, and you can’t get very crisp lines. The iron-on transfers they sell at the sewing store also leave a distinct and ugly “sheen” to them…it’s obvious you’ve stuck something on your shirt . But applique ?! Now the world is my oyster …or at least, the design possibilities are limitless when you start to think of re-creating your favorite screened t-shirt design with cutouts of bright fabric and patterns. *double-sided fusible web for applique * (optional) black embroidery thread 1. 2.

Floral Jeans Now that spring has officially rolled around, my love for florals is in it's prime! I've been experimenting with stencils quite often lately, so I couldn't help but make a flower printed garment for the season. The great part of this project is that you can use any stencil you'd like (leaves? daisies? filigree?) I tend to mix girly and not-so-girly concepts together; the design is feminine, so I purposely found a pair of jeans that were a bit loose fitting. Keep reading to see how I made it: Supplies: - Large flower/rose stencil (I bought mine at Michael's) - Jeans - White fabric paint - Flat sponge brush - Masking tape & thin paintbrush 1) Tape the stencil onto the jeans. 2) Apply paint with the brush. Having a fairly light hand might be more ideal for this project. 3) Let dry, and repeat on random areas on the jeans. 4) Try adding flowers on the sides, overlapping the seam. 5) If you would like, take a paintbrush and draw pointed ovals - also known as leaves!
