Made my own Mod Cloth dress
I saw this dress on Mod Cloth months ago, way before it was warm enough to wear, and thought, "Wow, that's a unique design. What a weird combination, actually. But it's cute! I could make that!"
it's always autumn - itsalwaysautumn - easy square top with stamped polka dots
My summer wardrobe used to be primarily made up of stretchy fitted tees. Super comfy, easy to wash and wear, available in any color you could wish for, and cheap. But have you noticed that all the fitted t-shirts seem to be made out of tissue-thin material lately? Tissue thin fitted tees are not a good look for me. I would blame that on the five babies I’ve had, but it’s not their fault.
Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag!
Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closed in a class version of the bags, so I started brainstorming about some kind of hand-sewing-friendly or no-sew bag idea…. and here’s what I came up with! The simplest version of these bags is great for smaller tees, or the more light-weight kind of girl-tees – just turn the bottom of the shirt into a drawstring and tie it closed! As you can see, even with a not huge tee, this will still leave a significant hole in the bottom of your bag, but for purposes like grocery shopping, this size hole shouldn’t really matter…

Neon Tshirt Reconstruction
I actually made this last summer, and just had never made a tutorial for it. I love this dress, it is sooooo bright!!! 1. You will need a very large tshirt. Cut off the sleeves, and then cut a straight line right below the neckline. The sleeves will become the top of the dress, and the large chunk will become the body of the dress.

Booking taxi service on the island of Malta
I have been on a holiday to Malta recently and here’s some info about hiring a cab in Malta If you are taking a trip to Malta, you will need to be sure that you are giving yourself the opportunity to get around on your own terms. By doing this, you’ll have all that you need to get from one point to another and will provide yourself the chance to receive assistance from drivers who can serve you. Any time that you are looking to make this happen, provide yourself the opportunity to get help and service from professionals who can gladly pick you up and take you anywhere need to go. With this in mind, consider these points.

Sew it lovely: lace overlay top...
Hello to you and hello to sunshine!! Wow, Mondays are SO much easier to deal with when it's sunny. I unfortunately didn't get to make the most of the sunshine over the weekend due to a 'certain' rugby tournament that is ruling our roost at the moment...I did however get to crack out my sewing machine so all is well :) I've been on the lookout for a lace top for a while now. So when I found a long forgotten bag of black lace I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. It was just big enough to make a full length top...I'd like to think that it was meant to be :)
