The Origami Lotus Bag Tutorial | Exchanging Fire My favorite project bag is this lotus-shaped drawstring bag I own. It’s square with some design features that reminds me of Japanese origami, the beautiful art of paper folding. I love the way it folds in on itself like those old fortune teller paper games we used to play in school when we were children. The design is both simple yet clever. Pulling the drawstring shuts the bag and creates handles for carrying, all without losing its basic shape. I knew this bag design would be perfect for the vintage fabric my grandmother bought while traveling in India in the ’70s, but when I looked around the Internet in an attempt to make it, I couldn’t find a pattern or tutorial for the design I liked anywhere. Origami Lotus Project Bag with yarn being knit into a shawl inside of it You’ll need two matching squares of fabric that are roughly 18 inches square and some matching ribbon. Second, iron your fabric so that it’s easier to work with. Now we’re getting to the folding. The Lotus Temple Bag
the Katie poncho My friend Katie was over recently wearing this fab little jersey knit poncho. I complimented her on it several times, then bravely asked if if could take a closer look. She finally ended up taking it off so that I could REALLY get a good look. Of course, I’m thinking, “I could totally make this!” She looked so cute in it. All she was wearing was some khakis and a long sleeve t with this cute little poncho. One trip to Jo Ann’s to get some jersey knit fabric and less than 2 hours later, I had exactly that. You’ll need: 1 yard of knit fabric of your choice. 1. 2. 3. 4.Open garment and lie flat so the seam is pressed flat. 5.This is what it will look like. Let me know if you have any questions.

Pop-Open Little Purse! Today, I have a very cute little low sew project to show off! A friend of mine showed this to me and now I'm totally mad about it! It's so fun, cheap and easy to do and the result is cute and useful !!! Loooooooooooove it! Jojo had been complaining about her coin purse is spoilt and asking for a new one..and this "Pop" purse just came in handy! Now, let's get started :- Get a stiff cardboard (I recycled an old mushroom packing box) and cut a shape like the picture ... or you can be creative about the shape after this tutorial... The cardboard has to be stiff and flexible enough for a nice curve bend when you pressed it this way and still be able to return to the straight flat position when released. You need to cut 3 pieces of the cardboard - exactly the same shape and size. Wrap a piece of rag / clothes... (felt would be a good choice but I don't have any and it's very expensive here..) You may secure the edge with double side tape, glue gun, anything that you consider friendly enough to handle. now
HUNGRYHIPPIE: Sewing Clothing: Top in Ten Tutorial I'm lovin' this top. I'm gonna make about five more tops TONITE! No kidding around- from sketch to sewing, this took me about 10 minutes. (maybe because I'm not too picky or perfection-isty?) You can do it too-go for it! tutorial below Yeah-I'm hiding my pooch with those stars! The Tute: Choose a soft drapey jersey knit fabric. Fold it right sides together and lay it on the table to sketch and cut. Now sketch the top like so: Small neck circle, 2 box rectangle sleeves, and 2 sides. Don't overthink this. If you are unsure as to size, go wider than you think. Cut it out. Even it up. (If you're sloppy like I am---just fold in half lengthwise and trim up the sleeves to match.) You only sew this portion (on both sides-yes, all the way down to the bottom). You're done! (I hemmed my neckline with a zigzag stitch just cuz.... Flip it right side out, trim threads, and put it on girl! Some big jewels really make it sing! I'm ordering more jersey N O W. Hope you like it :o) peace out
Pop Couture | La couture gratuite ! La pochette hexagonale - tuto - La souris à plumes A partir de la pochette pyramide, j'ai imaginé une nouvelle forme. Regardez la magnifique version de Vanessa (et son joli blog)Lin et Liberty une superbe association, difficile à coudre à cause de la différence d'épaisseur mais quel beau résultat ! Le fond est un hexagone prolongé de 6 triangles aux pointes arrondies.

patrons Archives Difficile car il faut être très précis dans les mesures. La méthode pour créer un patron ex nihilo est expliquée ici. Un patron de pantalon classique comporte 3 pièces : - le dos - le devant - la ceinture Pour créer votre patron de base, il faut partir d'un pantalon qui vous va bien. La suite de l'article explique comment dessiner le patron du haut du pantalon. Matériel nécessaire : - une grande feuille de papier souple : du papier de soie ou, à défaut, du papier journal Le dos 1/ placer les axes vertical et horizontal Mettre le pantalon à l'envers. - Sur le papier, tracer les deux axes DM et NO en les faisant se couper en P. Il s'agit maintenant de mesurer la distance à ces deux axes de plusieurs points situées sur les coutures et sur les pinces (autrement dit : leurs coordonnées). 2/ la pince du dos - Sur le pantalon : mesurer la distance aux deux axes de la pointe (Q) et du haut de la pince (R). Découper le patron sans déplier la pince.
