1 hour bag- tutorial
This bag is so easy ! This is the new bag I made to take back to work this term. It took less than an hour from choosing the fabric to dumping my junk in it. This pattern is on a piece of A4 paper so I'm sure you can work it out from that. You will need: Using the pattern piece and cutting on the fold of your fabrics. 2 pieces in your handbag fabric2 pieces in your lining fabric2 pieces in wadding or batting to give your bag a bit of body.1 magnetic purse snap (optional)2 x 6 1/2 inch squares of fabric for the pocket (optional).2 strips of fabric 3 inches x approx 29 inches for the strap1 strip of wadding about 2 1/2 inches by 292 large Buttons Start with the pocket. Turn right sides out through the gap. . Pin your pocket to the right side of one of your bag linings. I like to do two lines - looks good and adds a bit of strength too. Now put your other lining piece right sides together with the pocketed one and sew around the bag, again leaving a turning gap at the bottom. Related:  Sewing

The frugal heating pad. - Surviving and Thriving | Surviving and Thriving Recently our heater went on the blink. The heating company that DF prefers wasn’t able to give us an appointment for almost two weeks – unless, that is, we wanted to pay extra for an after-hours visit. Nope, we didn’t, even though temperatures dropped into the mid-20s at night and only into the high 40s during the day. Nothing froze. And when I wasn’t? The rice sock, also known as “the frugal heating pad,” made all the difference in the world. Rice, rice baby It’s a pretty simple to make: Pour raw rice onto a sock or a cloth bag, tie it shut and microwave it until it’s very warm. Rice isn’t the only possible medium. Last year, shortly before I moved back to Alaska, a severe windstorm knocked out the power in Anchorage. The fireplace insert blazed then, too – with a clay baking dish atop its ledge. Back in the day people used live coals inside a warming pan to heat their sheets. DF and I keep each other warm, but we did recently treat ourselves to flannel sheets.

Design Fixation: Pashmina Refashion Tutorial /// Easy DIY 6-Way Convertible Scarf The other day I went to brunch in Boston's lovely South End to celebrate my friend Megan's birthday, and she was wearing the most gorgeous cashmere cape. She told me it could be converted into a couple of different styles, and it got me thinking... I have about a million pashmina scarves that I rarely wear... I wonder if I could refashion one such that it could be worn in a variety of different ways? And it literally takes 5 minutes to refashion the pashmina. Here are the super easy instructions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. So, what do you think?

How simple……..yet a new fun pop of texture. christmas prezzies 6 + 1 for you! | kleio's belly For years, my Grandma Annie and Aunt Ruth would give me those crocheted hanging dishtowels every Christmas, so they hold a special place in my heart. The hanging dishtowels you find at craft fairs tend towards the “country kitchen” style, so when my mom said that she had seen some fabric ones and thought it would be a great Christmas gift, it seemed like a good opportunity to make something more contemporary. I played dumb and told my mom to snap a picture of the one she had bought so I could see what she meant, but I went ahead and designed my own. It was funny on Christmas Eve day when I arrived at my parents’ house and saw the hanging dishtowel she had purchased in the kitchen. “Oh, so that’s what you meant,” I said, “I wish you had remembered to send me a picture.” Darn. I have a couple of friends who are learning to sew, so I’m drawing up some simple patterns of the things I make. Preparing the dishtowel: 1. 2. To make the handles: 1. 3. 6. Assemble and finish: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
