Moccasins 101: How to make one-piece moccasins in Tutorial Section Forum
Moccasin Tutorial Part 5: Sewing the Moccasins For instructions on how to sew your moccasins together refer to the Whipstitching Tutorial at Sole and Top: With right sides together, whipstitch from the big toe down the short side to the centre fold line. Make your stitches about 1/8 inch apart and about 1/8 inch from the edge. Neat, evenly spaced stitches will show in your finished work and are worth the effort. Begin stitching again at the big toe and whipstitch down the long side all the way to the bottom. Now cut out the T. Heel and Tab: Fold your moccasin in half and whipstitch the back of the moc until you are ¾ inch from the bottom, as noted by the line drawn at the back of the moc in this photo: Now take your scissors and make a cut ¾ inch long, straight across, on that line: Stand the moccasin up and it will look like this. Now push the tab all the way through to the other side: Whipstitch the back of the heel to the sole, from the inside: This completes the boot part of your moccasin.
How to Make Steampunk Jewelry
Wikipedia defines Steampunk as “a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used-usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England-but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual craft persons into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical “steampunk” style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk.”
Tutorial Tuesday: Gilded Lace Crowns
These pretty crowns are great for costumes (Halloween princess, anyone?), fairy house decorations, and the tiny ones could be cute tree ornaments. They are deceptively easy to make, and could be a fun project to do with little ones. Materials:Lace, modpodge, gold acrylic paint, gold leafing powder.Tools:scissors, paintbrushes, wax paper, optional hair dryer 1) Take your lace and make a crown shape. The laces I used have one flat side. 2) Trim lace to size with a 1/2 inch or more overlap, matching pattern. 3) Paint with gold acrylic paint. 4) Place on wax paper. 5) Coat with ModPodge until well saturated.I recommend you seal with, at least, 3 more coats of Modpodge.Move it around while its really wet, to keep the holes in the lace from becoming windows 6) Enhance the color with gold leafing powderdabbed onto wet Modpodge with dry brush.You can skip this step, but I really think it makes all the difference. 7) Dry completely flat. 9) Place crown on head and have fun storming the castle.

DawnPages -- Skirts
Take two measurements: Your waistline (no cheating!) ____ x3 = ____. Your waistline ____ +4" = ____. Your waist to the floor (or knee, calf, whatever) ____ +4" = ____. For medieval-type skirts most of you will probably be able to use the 54" or 56" width of the fabric as the length (C). You will need 3 times your waist measurement in yardage (A). To hold the skirt closed you can use large hooks and eyes (size 14 or larger), snaps, or a diaper-sized safety pin (Which I favor because then I can adjust the waist as I need to). You want it to shrink and bleed and do whatever it is going to do before you put work into it. Fold the quarter yard in half, the long way and mark your waist measurement (B) on it. Cut out the waistband piece, being careful to be accurate. From a single layer of interfacing cut a rectangle that is the same size as the waistband. Layer the pieces with the folded waistband on the bottom and the interfacing on top. From one end mark your actual waist measurement.

Steampunk Jewelry Made Simple | STEAMED!

STEAMPUNK JEWELRY MADE SIMPLE: Breaking It Down to Cogs and Gears By B’Sue Love the Steampunk lifestyle? Check out this sweet Steampunk pendant I made: As this piece is raw brass, you’ll want to patina it. When you have achieved the color you want on the brass, simply seal it with Renaissance Wax. Into that cap, I poured a bit of mixed ICE RESIN. I also inlaid a circlet ring found at our website, as well as a tiny propeller. The trick is to pour only enough resin to inlay the bottom of the propeller so that it still spins. The actual pendant is available at B’sue Boutiques right here: How would you finish it? Come on over to B’sue Boutiques and check the place out!

dinosaur heels
Talk about walking with dinosaurs! Kick it really (really) old school with a pair of Dinosaur Heels that look just as good touring Jurassic Park as they do strolling down Park Avenue. These prehistoric pump upgrades are fully functional, the standard heel has been replaced with a steel bolt welded to the sole shank, with hollow dinosaur toys to cover up the hardware. It looks like these tiny terrors are holding you up, or maybe chasing you down as you are running away trying to escape Isla Nubla. After the internet went crazy a month ago for these dinosaur shoes I knew I wanted to recreate them. If you read about those shoes while they were trending then you probably know that these shoes were reposted all over the place. Here's the basics on what you need: Ready to make your own?
