Butterfly Sleeve Tunic (For Women & Girls)
First of all…….let me tell you a story. I grew up in AZ. I guess that will stick with me forever because I still really stink at driving on the snow/ice. Here’s what happened to my poor victim of a car this morning. image from my instagram account Poor car. Onto other things, how about that poll you guys have been voting on? Okay, whew…..onto the real post of the day. And this is something that’s for girls of all ages. This knit fabric top, has a very slight elastic empire line (which is optional), that cinches in…..giving the top more shape. It’s doesn’t have a lot of complicated pieces or need crazy sewing techniques. And the style of it is simple, cozy, and forgiving. With arms out, you can see……just two pieces. Believe it or not, Elli actually asked me to make this for her. If I still haven’t convinced you of its simplicity, take a look at it laying flat. And I’ll have to go and admit…….I’m bummed I used this fabric on Elli. Ready to make your own? Let’s get started… -Ashley
Beltmaking 101
Finally–the long-awaited beltmaking tutorial! way I make my fabric-covered belts has been learned from a mix of trial-and-error and vintage manuals. The supplies are simple, and making a simple pass-through belt is quite easy. I have, however, included instructions for how to add a pronged buckle to a belt and add eyelets. I hope you enjoy, and as usual feel free to ask any questions in the comments! Supplies: 1″ wide stiff belting (available at JoAnns), 1/4 yard fabric at least 45″ wide, buckle for 1″ belt (see sources at the end), pattern paper, thread, scissors, ruler, pins. Begin by measuring your waist and adding 6″ to 8″ inches to the length (I tend to err on the side of more, especially for a belt using a pronged buckle). Cut the belting the length of your waist plus the extra. Using the paper pattern, cut one layer of your fabric. Fold the fabric around the belting, wrong sides out. Gently work the seam to the center of the belting width, and press seam open.
