Fabric Rehab- King Sized Duvet Cover | I Love Rehabs
This weekend I finally finished a project that I have been working on for about a month. It was one of those projects that wouldn’t take long if you just had a Saturday free but I just never did. So, as I was in between projects I began and finished this one. Sometimes that’s how I get rehabs done. I just work on something for an hour and then come back to it a few days later.

Sew Liberated: kitty doll tutorial
Some children are doll children. Some children are stuffed animal children. I was a stuffed animal child, and so are my nieces, the giddy recipients of these here kitty dolls. For those of you who have a stuffed animal child of your own, here's a quick tutorial along with the additional pattern pieces to make one (or two, or three) for yourself your child. (Do make sure that you print it out at 100%, or else you will find yourself with a very large-featured cat.) You will also need to purchase the fabulous Wee Wonderfuls "Kit, Chloe and Louise" doll pattern to make the rest of the doll body and little outfits. I used this tutorial to make the pillows and pillow cases, although my doll quilts are different. Again, just to have all of the info in one post, the doll bunk bed and double doll chair came from Meadow Weeds Farm, whose prices and workmanship are excellent. Let me know if you make your own!
haylie’s spool hooks
For years I have collected wooden thread spools, picking them up here and there, mostly at yard sales.You can’t usually use the actual thread, if there is any left, because it has become brittle with age. So, aside from displaying them in glass jars I wanted to put them to good use. I have chosen to use a handful of spools from my collection as hooks. It is a really simple project with a fun and colorful outcome. CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump! Materials & Tools: -wooden thread spools (with or without thread) -drywall screws to size- be sure to take your smallest and largest spool to hardware store to size for appropriate screws. Step 1:For spools with thread, you want to tack down the loose end of the thread, so you don’t end up with a tangled mess. Step 2: Choose a piece of paper that best fits the space on the wall you want to fill with your spool hooks. Step 7: Now, you have a place to hang your necklaces, ribbons, or neckties.

Thrifty and Chic - DIY Projects and Home Decor
Ever had one of those weeks where it feels like Friday and it's only Tuesday? or worse, Monday? haha. This is one of those weeks for me. Today I'm going to share how I got all my bedding in my office for 12 bucks. So lets start with the comforter, well, actually, duvet cover. What you need: Old Comforter Two flat sheets in same size as comforter Sewing Machine/Needle and thread (if you dare) The size of my current comforter was a full. Lay the two sheets flat on the ground, right sides facing each other. To get that puckered look, lay the sheets down again, inside out. and mark where you want the 'puckers'. Now at every mark, kind of roll it in between your fingers, having the mark be the tip, and send it back and forth through the sewing machine -sans fingers. Turn inside out, put your comforter in, and there you have it! I used this same puckering technique on these pillows to bring a little unison in the room.
