Petticoat Tutorial

Petticoat Tutorial
For the last year, I have been looking for a petticoat- I know this might sound a little strange but I wanted something frilly and white to go under my skirts or even be worn as a skirt and to pair with my extensive collection of knee high boots! I had a very specific "vision" of what I wanted in my head and finally gave up my search and decided it was time to just make one for myself (like everything else-if I can't afford it or find it- I MAKE IT!). Since I didn't have a pattern, I made my own from an old skirt. While I don't wear it anymore, I loved the shape and design which was a little bit A-line- just what I wanted for my petticoat! Start by cutting up an old skirt to use as a pattern (or use a pattern!) Cut out the pattern from fabric. (I used muslin for my petticoat) Cut out lots and lots of strips of fabric for the ruffles. To create the ruffles- sew a straight stitch down the edge of the strip. Pull the top thread until you have a ruffle the more ruffles the fluffier it will be!

My Zipper Tee DIY tutorial...Tshirt Recycle Supplies: Zipper 22 inches or so... old tshirt or 1 yard fabric. I am all about casual style, but usually like something to separate my tee from everyone elses. This started in middle school when I took my first sewing class and from their I was refashioning the family's "giveaway pile." Here is one I designed back then that I recreated for a tutorial. I wanted to share it because it's quite easy, yet still looks amazing! For this zipper: I know they have double zippers, but they go the other way so you will have to make it like i did. You can use an old tshirt, it doesn't matter what size. If you use fabric: I used a light jersey cotton with a nice drape. If the fabric is light, I would suggest ironing interfacing to the edges so it wont wave from the zipper. Sew the side seams if you used your own fabric.

Just for fun, we've included a decorative graphic. Yes, you'll need to sew this apron yourself, but our Clean Sweep Apron requires minimal sewing skill.

THE SHRUG Saks Fifth Avenue features this season’s trendy cover up, the shrug by Vince. The shrug pattern is an ideal project with which to experiment with fashion design for several reasons — it is knitted or sewn in one piece, there is minimal finishing, it is easy to wear, and relatively quick to make. The Vince version is an angora knit but can be made up in any stretch fabric. Try mohair, stretch velvet, or double knit. Plus, these shrug patterns are easy to adjust. For instance, this basic shrug pattern is relatively snug and feature elbow-length sleeves. Cuff-to-cuff: 45 ½ (46 ½, 47 ½)” Width at back: 16 ½ (17 ½, 18 ½)” Top-to-hem: 21 (22 ½, 24)” NOTE: The greatest stretch of the knit fabric runs around the girth of the body (usually the crosswise grain from selvedge to selvedge). Measure a rectangle 21″ by 45½” (length X width) for a size SMALL. Measure 14½” in from each short end of the rectangle and mark as A,B,C, & D according to the diagram. Blend a gentle arc between AF, BH, CE, & DG.

Insulated Lunch Tote Tutorial Due to a large number of requests, I've updated the tutorial with the finished dimensions and a few clarifications. Enjoy! I designed this insulated lunch tote for Sandra's Handmade Christmas in July series. All the materials are machine washable, which for me, is what makes this worthwhile. Here's what you need: 2 pieces of medium weight fabric, main part of tote (16 in. Take the contrasting pieces of fabric and fold over 1/2inch along the long side, toward the wrong side of fabric. Now, we're going to shape the bag a little. Here's what it should look like. A little more shaping. Draw a line from the corner of the bottom cutout. Cut on your line, for all layers (2 main panels, 2 PUL and Insul-Bright layers) Now that we've got our bag shaped, here's some quick instructions if you want to make your own straps. Fold in half lengthwise, iron. Topstich all the way around strap to finish. OK, back to our lunch tote. OK, on to the zipper, my least favorite part of any project. Almost done!

A Purse Thingy So, how was your weekend? Mine was fun, but exhausting. I decided to go and visit TheSecondChild on Saturday. It’s a six hour drive, so I got up early and I was down there by noon. I made a quick fabric shop stop and then TheSecondChild and I had a little lunch. Anyway, last week. before all that excitement, I had fun making some little keychain cell phone id coin whatever-else-you-want-to-throw-in-there purses. They’re pretty easy to make and I thought you might like to make some too, so I took some pictures of the process and thought I’d write a little tutorial. Here’s a shot of the back of the purse with my cell phone tucked into the little pocket. So, shall we start? Some scraps of fabric — I used three different prints. Purse Back: Cut a 7″ long x 5 1/2″ wide piece of fabric. Quilt this little sandwich however you would like — stipple, straight lines, or make up your own. For the cell phone pocket, cut another piece of fabric, 8 1/2″ long x 4″ wide. Oops! So, that’s it.

Imagine Fabric Blog: How To Make a FABRIC BOWL Imagine Fabric Making a Fabric Bowl is as easy as ABC and it is a lot of fun. Just follow our step-by-step instructions and within an hour, you will be awarded with your very own Fabric Bowl. Let's get started. Select your fabric of choice - I picked some beautiful Joel Dewberry Fabric for my Fabric Bowl project. Used the size of your favorite bowl. Cut two fabric circles , put the two fabric circles left side together and use a thick interfacing that has glue on both side to iron the two fabric circles together. Now draw a circle in the center of one of your fabric circles. Now divide the fabric circle into eights. Continue to do so all along the "eights" lines you have previous drawn. You should end up with 8 triangles. Now choose a zig zag stitch of your liking and stitch all along the circle in the center of your fabric circle. Now it is time to zig zag stitch the triangles you have cut. Start to zig zag stitch from the inner circle. Continue to do so with all the triangles you have cut.
