Tutorial: How to Sew a Cosmetic Bag - with link to another TUTE Here's the tutorial on the first cosmetic bag. Firstly cut out your pattern from the main fabric, interfacing (I used heavy iron on) and lining fabric (optional). As for the pattern, the pieces are as follows: One x rectangle 25cm x 15.5cm with rounded cornersTwo x rectangles 20cm x 3.5cm (these attach to the zipper)Two x squares 7cm (side pieces)Two x 6.5cm x 4cm (tabs) 1/4 inch seam allowances are included I didn't use interfacing on the two side pieces that attach to the zipper but that is just my preference. Then iron your interfacing to your main fabric Finish the edges on the two rectangles of fabric to go either side of the zipper Then fold the finished edges to the wrong side Then sew these side bits to the zipper, making sure that it is the same width as the two square side pieces (these are a 7cm square) With zipper sewn in: Fold raw edges of end tabs in then fold in half Sew both long edges of the tabs Sew the square side pieces to the zipper part, adding the tabs to the centre

Dishfunctional Designs While perusing the world of recycled and upcycled denim and repurposed jeans, I noticed that there were some really dated recycled jean skirt projects floating around out there on the internet! People have been recycling denim for ages, cutting off jean legs to make shorts, making skirts, pot holders and the like, but it takes ingenuity and a sense of modern style to create something fresh and new. Check out the projects and items below, which I think offer a refreshing relief from the same old recycled denim crafts! Don't have any old jeans that you're willing to sacrifice? What do you think?

Let’s talk about brand, baby OBLONG POUCH by: bookhouathome Let’s talk about brand, baby! If I took away all the products that make up your creative business how would you define yourself? A little scary, isn’t it? The product and business can become synonymous and when a creative business relies on the product we can inevitably get stuck. Stuck between where we started and how we want to move onward as a brand. But if you think about it, our creativity is an extension of our self. Here are a few free writes that I think will help bring this personal brand forward. Free writing is a no-hold back exercise where you can let your thoughts just flow. My single most important intention for having this business is…(this is your mission) My secret personality quirks are…(hint: these are those things about you that seem to come up often in a conversation or you find friends calling on you for) Describe a time in your business when you felt the most alive or vibrant… Like this: Like Loading...
DIY Découpage Floral Bag When H&M asked us to DIY a boho-inspired item for their summer issue, découpage was the first thing that came to mind. Honestly, does it get any better than customizing a simple handbag with a brilliant floral print? However you create it, it’ll be satisfying to know that you’ve designed yourself a one of a kind bag! You’ll need:a handbagcotton fabric with a large floral patternpainter’s tapeMod Podgecraft paint2 small plastic dishes2 brushesscissors Start by taping off the edges and hardware of the handbag. Squeeze a dollop of colored craft paint into a small disposable container. Allow the first layer to dry completely. While the paint dries, carefully cut out a handful of flowers from the fabric. Arrange them onto the painted section of the bag. Remove the painter’s tape when the Mod Podge has dried clear and your floral handbag is complete! (all images by HonestlyWTF)
Circle Zip Earbud Pouch Tutorial | Dog Under My Desk I use a little zippered pouch to carry around my earbuds since they are the fancy microphone ones and I don’t want them to break or get tangled. Some of you have commented that you are looking for some small, simple gift ideas. This is definitely simple to make, and a little more fun than the typical rectangular zippered pouch! I can see these as the perfect gift for teenage cousins or nieces or girlfriends or even teacher gifts. UPDATE: I have completely re-written this tutorial with twice as many bright, clear photos and more detailed instructions and it is available as a pattern in my pattern shop. First, download the pattern template HERE. Cut from main fabric: 1 circle 2 half circles 1 tab Cut from lining fabric: 1 circle 2 half circles Cut from batting (or medium weight interfacing, if you prefer): 1 circle 2 half circles You will also need a 1″ wide nylon 5″ or longer zipper. Place one lining half circle right side up and place the zipper right side up on top. Time to sew!
Recycled Plastic Messenger Bag or Purse Your first step is to create a large, thick sheet of plastic. You'll probably want to start out by making a small practice sheet, so that you can get a feel for the process and the material. WARNING: If at any time you see smoke or smell any fumes coming from the plastic, Stop. You're doing it very wrong. I like to work on the table or the kitchen counter, with a towel covering the surface. Take 2 grocery bags and cut off the handles and the seam at the bottom, so you're left with a nice rectangle. IMPORTANT: Do not touch the iron directly to the plastic. You'll have to play around with the heat settings depending on how thick your sheet of plastic, but for one bag, start out on a medium or low setting. If you're using parchment paper, which is translucent, it's easy to tell where the plastic has fused and stuck to the paper. Start out with a light pressure and don't stay in one place for too long. Don't leave any air bubbles or unfused spots, or your plastic will be weak!
Manual satchel Jullie hebben nog een handleiding te goed van het boekentasje dat ik maakte voor kleine spruit. Hier is ie dan: Stap 1 Kies je gewenste, al dan niet katoenen, stof voor de buitenkant van de boekentas. Je hebt een stuk nodig van minimum 110 cm breed en 40 cm hoog. Ook de metalen hoekbeschermers haalde ik van deze map. Bij stoffen Mertens in Melle kocht ik stevige vlieseline (H640) om het boekentasje de nodige steun te geven. Stap 2 Voor het patroon snij je volgende rechthoeken uit patroonpapier of gewoon papier (naad van 0,5 cm is inbegrepen): - breedte 28 cm en hoogte 22 cm: achterkant - breedte 28 cm en hoogte 33 cm: voorkant en onderkant - breedte 28 cm en hoogte 34 cm: bovenkant en flap - 2 maal: breedte 12 cm en hoogte 22 cm: zijstukken Schik de patroondelen in de juiste richting op de stof, rekening houdende met de richting van de opdruk (zie foto). Doe hetzelfde voor de vlieseline en de 'plastic' binnenkant. Stap 3 Ik kocht in de USA bij Fabric.com deze opstrijkbare vinyl. Stap 4
How to Prevent Leather Shoes from Squeaking by Marilyn Lindblad | Style Studio 360 Marilyn Lindblad's image for: "How to Prevent Leather Shoes from Squeaking" Caption: Location: Image by: Nothing is more embarrassing than walking down the hallway at work, making your way to the dining table on a date, or sneaking into a dark theater when your leather shoes are squeaking with every step you take. First, find the squeak You must isolate the problem before you can fix it. Powder the squeak The first line of defense against squeaky shoes is powder. Powdering a squeak is a trick that has worked for years on hardwood floors. Grease the squeak If stubborn squeaks persist after powdering, get out the grease. In summary, with patient diligence, you can work the squeak out of your fine leather shoes, extending their lives and saving money on your footwear budget.
