Tea Wallet Tutorial | Is It Naptime Yet?
You will need four 5″ x 7″ cuts of fabric and one 5″ x 7″ cut of interfacing, a button, and a 6″ length of ribbon. All seam allowances are 1/4″. Attach interfacing to the wrong side of your exterior fabric. Fold your pocket fabrics in half lenghtwise and iron. Top-stitch the folded edge of your pocket fabrics. Measure up 1″ from the bottom of your interior fabric and pin your first pocket into place. Sew along the bottom of your first pocket, removing the pins as you go. Line your second pocket up with the bottom of your interior fabric and pin it into place. Sew along the bottom of your second pocket, removing the pins as you go. With an erasable fabric pencil or chalk mark the center of your pockets and interior fabric. Sew this line, you don’t have to go all the way to the top of your interior fabric, you only need to do the pockets. Fold your ribbon in half and pin it to the center of your pockets and interior fabric on the right hand side, with the loop facing the left hand side.
Little boxy pouch tutorial | three bears
My latest favourite thing to make, little boxy pouches. It took me almost an entire morning, lots of paper and sellotape and countless cups of tea to figure this out. I’m here to save you the bother. This little bag is 4.5 inches long, 3 inches high and 2 inches deep, just right for a lipstick and a compact (or better still, lots of sweets). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. I hope these instructions are clear. Do let me know if you use this tutorial, I’d love to see how it works out for you. ***How I add lining*** There may be a quicker way but this is how I add a lining. Like this: Like Loading...

Easy fabric vase covers
While poking around in my cupboard the other day, I found a shot glass that would make a lovely little bud vase. Except it wasn't very cute, so I put a removable jacket on it. This turned out to be so easy and so much fun that I couldn't stop making these vase covers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I put some cuttings of pothos vines (is that what these are?)

How to Get Rid of Muffin Top Tights Tutorial
This post is brought to you by Baby Lock. Baby Lock is dedicated to the love of sewing by creating a full line of sewing machines all with ease-of-use, high quality and a touch of elegance. Connect with Baby Lock on Facebook and TotallyStitchin.net. I’m not talking about losing weight. Weight is never the issue. Tights and hose are no respecter of persons when it comes to the blessed muffin top. Also, it’s not really about the bulge of skin peeking out from the opening of tights (okay it’s partly that), it’s about how terribly uncomfortable tights are when they have such a tight waist. It’s not reliable to stick with a certain brand, either. I would show you a real before and after, but no one needs to see me in my tights. But I solved the problem this weekend. seam ripperscissorspinsmeasuring taperegular sewing machineelastictights Cut that nasty, too-tight-for-real-humans waistband off your tights. Do you see how enormous my true waistband looks compared to the tights waistband?

Coolest Homemade Minion Carrying a Box Illusion Costume
Feeding some excited minions some bananas! This year for Halloween I really wanted to make a minion from Despicable Me. But when I thought more deeply into making this costume, many questions popped into my head if I were to go outside dressed as a giant minion. How would I see? How would I eat? How would I drink? Would I even fit through a door to get inside the party? How hot will I be inside the costume? And how would I solve my biggest peeve with minion costumes; turning a character with tiny feet and a round cylindrical body into one with long human legs and a long cylinder for a body. As Halloween crept closer and closer, I still had to urge to make one. Then I had a thought……he can carry me! And so the costume began… Digging for more bananas in the box Creating the Minion Body Materials: - Yellow fabric - Blue fabric - Black Acyrlic Paint - Fabric Glue - Hot glue gun - 1.25″ buttons (x2) - Black and white felt The first thing I thought of making the minion out of was paper mache.
