Little Red Infinity Dress Tutorial | Sew Like My Mom February 14, 2011 I’m always searching for a beautiful, well-fitting, versatile dress, and I finally found it. In fact, I MADE it. I made my infinity dress in about 3 hours and for under $20! I found these infinity dresses on Craftster years ago and have always loved them. First, you need to do some measuring. So, 30/6.28 = 4.7. Then I decided on length of skirt and came up with 18″. To make your straps, you need to decide how wide to make them. To determine strap length, you need to make them 1.5 times your height. So, got that? To make your pattern, get packing paper, freezer paper, or a bunch of pieces of computer paper taped together. Then I measured 18″ down from that and made another line for my skirt length. Cut out on your lines. Now, keeping your fabric folded in half with selvages matched, fold the fabric in from the end so it’s doubled on itself. Next, cut a waistband 10″ tall and the length of your waist you measured. Next you’ll have to cut your straps. Get your straps.
6 Simple Yoga Stretches for Daily De-Stressing :: Tips :: The 99 Percent We have a tradition at the Behance office called the “four o’clock stretch,” where we step away from our desks to do a few simple stretches and recharge. When energy is waning mid-afternoon, it’s pretty incredible how a little deep breathing and muscle movement can completely re-invent your mood. Below are a few of my favorite “office-friendly stretches.” 1. There is no aspect of relaxation more important than breathing. To begin square breathing, sit in a comfortable, upright position on the floor or in a chair. Repeat 10 times, going at your own pace: Inhale 2, 3, 4. 2. Interlace your fingers, and raise your arms above your head, with your palms facing upwards. 3. Stand with your feet hip-distance apart. Once you have the arm wrap going, look straight ahead and try to keep your elbows lifted. Unwrap your arms and hold them out to the side again. 4. Still standing with your feet hip-distance apart, reach your hands behind you, clasping them together in a fist at the base of your back.

Gregorian Bivolaru - Karma Yoga Translation from Romanian: Rodica Harabagiu Final correction of text: NATHA,Copenhagen, 1999 Motto: "In a state of detachment perform what has to be done, no matter what it is, and never wish to assume the fruits of your doings." Karma Yoga represents one of the four main classic forms of Yoga. Karma Yoga represents a starting point and is an essential part of the teachings of Bhagavad Gita, this serves as sufficient ground for its authenticity. Like all other forms of Yoga, the main and final purpose of Karma Yoga is to facilitate and accelerate the spiritual evolution of its persistent practitioner. The main difference from other forms of Yoga is that Karma Yoga can be practised well from the very beginning, and can be applied all the time, all day long, because it is applicable to all human activities. I should also emphasise that the practice of Karma Yoga does not exclude the simultaneous practice of one or more of the other forms of Yoga, but will amplify their efficiency.
DIY | Burgundy Cut Out Shirt Cut out shirt seen at Maison Martin Margiela amongst many other labels. Burgundy seen at Acne, also amongt many others. I just hopped on the burgundy bandwagon. Today I found a large silk mens shirt at a vintage shop and decided to cut in it a bit. Though because the shirt was too big the cutouts didn't stay in place and I had to make a few adjustments so they would actually look like two squares. Therefor I wouldn't advise using an oversized shirt for this DIY.
Nothing But Yoga 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. Here is one I designed back then that I recreated for a tutorial. 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. Yoga Movement -- an Index to Yoga Information and Resources
