Circle skirt calculator – for the drafting of full, half and 3/4 skirts. With bonus grading worksheet! | The Snug Bug Special Sunday greetings you naked molerats! Since you’re so naked, I thought you might want to make yourselves some nice little circle skirts. And perhaps, like me, you find yourself with little mole rat patterns just a touch on the small side. But the grading of a circle skirt isn’t so easy, is it you naked rodents? OK. Recently I’ve been plotting about two separate circle-skirt related issues in my head. For molerats who are unfamiliar with circle skirts, here’s the difference between the three styles. For a much more interesting comparison, here’s a full circle skirt. {image Whirling Turban} Here’s the oh, so lovely three-quarter circle skirt. And a slightly pixelated half circle skirt… {image Get Go Retro} The other circle-skirt related problem I’ve been mulling over has to do with grading up circle skirts. OK, I admit I usually grade up my circle skirts the ‘wrong’ way. My problem is (hopefully) solved! Okee dokee. Let’s move on to the grading stuff, shall we?? Whew! OK!
Embroidery Designs at Urban Threads - Projects - StumbleUpon Now it's time to grab that other sock, provided it hasn't disappeared. Don't laugh -- I have about a half dozen socks whose partners have mysteriously vanished. It can happen. Turn the sock inside out and flatten it the other way, so the heel is folded in half. This sock is much more picky as to what it turns into. The long front half of the sock is the tail. Before cutting anything, I'll give you a bit of advice I learned the hard way: You'll notice the tail and the arms are the uppermost section. Watermark Tee by Sweet Verbana Hello U-Create readers!

I'm working on my education degree and expect to be an elementary school teacher in just two short years. When I'm not busy studying for classes, I love to sew. I just started blogging in May and have already met all kinds of wonderful women, I hope you'll stop by and say hi too!

BOX PLEATED SKIRT TUTORIAL I'm not sure how much longer I can possibly drag out Alt Summit, but here we are over a month later and I'm still bringing it up. The last night was the mini parties, and for this night I wanted an outfit that was fun. I don't know where the idea came from, but suddenly a graphic top and a pleated striped skirt was stuck in my brain and not going anywhere. I searched high and low for some good fabric, until one day I ran across the perfect striped fabric at IKEA of all places. The zebra sweater, glitter pumps, and big, colorful statement necklace were the perfect finishing touches, and made an unbelievably fun night even better. Ok, on to the main event. Click through for the full tutorial! Materials: 2 yards (more or less depending on your size) fabric -- I used this heavy weight cotton from IKEA which is stiffer than anything I normally sew with, but it works for this skirt. matching threadzipper (I used invisible)clasp closure Fold in the short ends and hem, as shown.
sharon b's in a minute ago I hope you find this needlework dictionary useful and with it able to improve your hand embroidery skills.

I Really Wish I Could Sew | Pioneer Woman Home & Garden A sweet friend of mine sent the girls and me a box of adorably adorable owl pillows this week. She doesn’t sell them, doesn’t have an Etsy shop…she just makes them. I think they might be the sweetest things I’ve ever seen, and I think they’ll be precious in the girls’ new room. I don’t know what it is about owl pillows. It must have something to do with the eyes. I love this vinyl detailing. Vinyl? Which brings me to my current fixation: I really wish I could sew. But when I see things like this, all I can think about is that I really wish I could sew. I’d love to be able to grab a pile of fabric scraps and turn them into…an owl. I love this one. Boo! It would take me approximately eighty years to make one of these pillows. That’s because I’d keep taking breaks to go cook. And eat. So maybe it’s best that I don’t know how to sew. If I did, I might be tempted to make things like this. And then nothing would ever get cooked in this house. Maybe even twenty pounds! Yep. Ahem.
