Snugglebug University: House Pillow Tutorial
To celebrate the release of my latest pattern, I thought it might be neat to publish one of the projects here on the blog. Not only is it a fun freebie, It's also a great way for you all to see a little bit of what my pattern is like. Let's get started: What you'll need: •Three 16 inch pieces of fabric, one of which is white for the pillow front •16 inch pillow form •A black fabric marker (or permanent marker) •Fabric scraps of lightweight fabric for applique, interfacing, plus felt scraps for the clothes backs •Velcro fastener for attaching clothes to clothesline •Thread for sewing machine Print out the templates located at the bottom of this post and assemble them according to the diagram below. If you don’t have a light box, a window will work well to hang up your template. Read the directions on your pen as for how to make your image permanent. Next, cut our the roof, heart, clothes, and bush from a lightweight fabric. Alright! Finished! That nap sounds good!

Old Jean Diary | Minki's Work Table
I love old jeans especially my girls’ old jeans. It has all the stories that any imitations hardly look alike. The imitations I mean all the fake antiques made in China. They may look good in a distance but you immediately realize how cheap it is. Long story short, that is how I love all the aged things including my daughters worn jeans. Step1. Step2. Step3.Hand stitch the label to decorate. Step4.Place a hardboard on jean with wrong side up. Step5.Fold in aligns and glue. Step6. After making 4 jean journals, jean bags and jean pouches, We don’t have any old jeans left to upcycle. “Do you have any old jeans you don’t wear any more?” To see more creative ideas, visit my Korean blog: Zeriano’s Sewing Illustration

Lark & Lola: tutorials
I recently discovered the Citrasolv transfer method, and it is amazingly fun! My head is filled with ideas, but I first wanted to try this technique on some tea towels. Blank tea towels can be found at Hobby Lobby and Joann's, be sure to bring a coupon if you go get some. So I took them home and worked up some Rit dye solution, following their instructions {man, Rit dye is serious stuff, be careful with it}. There are different methods to using Rit dye. So after dying and washing according to the Rit dye directions, I moved onto the Citrasolv transferring. Citrasolv is a concentrate cleaning solution found in natural grocery stores. The good news is you can get your image yourself; the bad news is you need a laser/toner printer. According to my research and experience, different copiers & printers that use toner will behave differently. Finally, my last tip: my husband's laser printer always worked, but at first the image was washing out almost completely when laundered. Cheers, Heather

spring in my step: a blog hop {with giveaways!}
Thank you Pinterest for making this one of my most viewed posts! If you like crafty tutorials, be sure to check out my other fun projects linked above. I am so thrilled to be a part of Scrapbook Heaven's first ever blog hop (and it happens to be my first blog hop, too)! Thanks so much for joining us! If you're popping by here and didn't know the fun that's going on, please go back to Scrapbook Heaven to get all the deets for the Hop. The theme for the Hop is "Spring in my Step". So here's mine: A *green* journal. There's lots of recycling packed into this little book. Rescue a pair of poor, ripped, never-to-be-worn-again jeans from the trash and cut yourself a leg and a pocket. Prepare your materials: 2 pieces of denim and chip board (I used the backing of last year's blotter calendar) cut to the same size Patterned paper scraps cut 1/2-3/4" larger than the chipboard A flower embellishment (mine is made from used dryer sheets--more on that later)
