No sew scarf tutorial...

Can this really even be called a tutorial since its so easy?...not really...it's more like a reminder that New Years is coming up so check your closet for tshirts/knit shirts with a small stain or hole or it doesn't fit so well any more...or you just don't wear any longer or thrift a cute shirt if you are looking for a particular color/patterned scarf...(both of these are thrifted)

Cut the hem off and cut straight across under the sleeves...

Give it a good stretch and twist once and put it on...tada new scarf!

Extra small/kids tshirts can be worn...with
out even twisting...so make sure you check their closets/thrift sections too!


Happy Scarfing!!!

Dirty Clothes Bag for Mom

Made Mom's Dirty Clothes Bag with a Spoonflower Swatch as a Pocket.

Bag Bottom

Aria's Bag needed something sturdy in the bottom...

I have never put anything in the bottom of the bags I've made though I have always been thinking "what is a cheap way to make a bottom???" While at the dollar store this week...it clicked...placemats!!!

And cover them with a pillowcase type cover...aka dish towels from the dollar store as well...

So I cut them to size and taped all four pieces together to build a nice sturdy piece...

Sewed the little pillow case type slip covers and slid them on...

Weekender bag bottom liner!!!

And the rest of the dress...

And with the rest of the dress...I made another skirt...toddler size...for Saige . Turquoise fabric is SisBoom Jennifer Paganelli So St. Croix...

Dress to Skirt

A new skirt has been on my wish list...but I don't wear them often...so I decided to take an old dress that I NEVER wear and turn it into a skirt...




Hey Date Night...Where are you? I'll be ready when you get here.

I didn't use a tutorial...it was just cut, turn down twice, iron, sew edge, insert elastic, sew closed.

1 heaping tablespoon of honey
1/3 cup lemon juice

Corrie

May 5 attempt one...didn't make it thick enough? used lime juice perhaps that had something to do with it?
