12 x 12 dossier de stand'' ... sind gar nicht so leicht zu finden und bei einschlägigen quellen scheinen sie immer gerade dann ausverkauft zu sein, wenn ich unbedingt einen brauche... aber es musste dringend einer her, stabil und mit schön viel platz. also habe ich kurzerhand aus der not eine tugend gemacht und mir selbst einen gebaut :-) - aus stabiler 12x12'' pappe: und so bin ich vorgegangen: zuerst die einzelteile mit dem cutter zuschneiden: 2 seitenteile, 1 boden, 1 längliches front-teil (auf dem foto links) und das gleiche in kürzer für die rückseite: die teile habe ich mit uhu-kreativ-kleber geleimt und kurz antrocknen lassen. danach habe ich alle geklebten kanten innen und außen mit scotch-invisible-klebestreifen (im gegensatz zu tesafilm matt und nochmal beklebbar) stabilisiert. hier der fertige rohbau: nun kommt der schöne teil - papier aussuchen und den ordner bekleben! das gute ist, dass er dadurch auch nochmal stabiler wird. von dem bunten und auf die rückseite geklebt. ich das orangene papier eingesetzt:
The Busy Bean · Open Wide with a Handle I love Anna’s Open Wide Bag tutorial so much. I made my first, and it quickly became my favorite for knitting. It sits up so well on its own, plus the big opening means my yarn doesn’t snag on the zipper and I’m not squishing stuff into a big bag through a small opening. The only thing missing is a handle. Head to Noodlehead for the full tutorial and sizes. Start by cutting a piece 2 5/8″ x the height of your bag. Once you’ve sewn the zipper onto the bag opening and lining on both sides, cut it to the desired length, again using Anna’s tutorial as a guide. Sew all the way around the handle piece about 1/8″ from each edge, locking the zipper in. Continue with Anna’s tutorial, until you get to boxing the outside fabric corner on the side with the handle. On this corner, instead of sewing on your marked line, put a pin in to hold it in place and draw a 2nd line 1/2″ away from your sewing line, closer to the corner. That’s it.

crafterhours: The Dresden Plate Skirt: A Tutorial I’ve been thinking a lot about how to use quilting techniques in clothing lately. After making the little hexagons for this outfit, I was inspired to do more. So, now, from my crazy 3 a.m. big lightbulb idea, I’d like to introduce: the Dresden Plate Skirt! And tutorial! (really, really long tutorial.) Are you guys ready for this? Materials needed: Main fabric. Step 1: Cut out a whole bunch of trapezoid-y shapes. Here are my strips, all lined up in a pleasing order. Step 2:Sew ‘em all together! on in the background. Step 4: Using a rotary cutter, follow the lower edge of the skirt from fold to raw edge, then cut up the raw edge about 3 inches. Step 5: Finish the inner, or short end of that strip by serging or zig-zagging. Step 6: Use something round (coaster, glass, protractor….um yeah, I said protractor. Step 7: Sew directly on all your marked curves! Step 8: Flip your lining piece to the inside of the skirt, and using your fingers, push out each scallop and press. Step 9: Step 10: Step 11:
Easy Zippered Pocket Tutorial | Vanilla Joy Purses need pockets. Lots of them. Zippered pockets, slip pockets, we need them all. A zippered pocket is very easy to make and looks really sharp on the outside (or inside) of a purse. Here’s how to do it! ZIPPERED POCKET INSTRUCTIONS for a pocket measuring 10″w x 8″d with a 9″ zipper openingmust be constructed before the purse pieces are sewn together! 1. I used the fabulous new BEKKO home dec line (Michael Miller) coming out THIS MONTH! 2. 3. 4. CHECK: You should have a rectangle centered on your fabric 1″ from the top and measuring 3/8″ x 8 1/4″ 5. 6. 7. Pin in place CHECK: The pocket piece should be centered to the purse piece and 1 1/2″ below the top purse piece edge. 8. 9. 10. 11. When you reach the little short line you drew in step#10, cut into the corner of the rectangle on both sides getting as close as possible without cutting the stitches. CHECK: After cutting you should have little triangle pieces on the ends of the rectangle. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Finished front view 17. 18.
Tumbler Skirt Tutorial I came up with the Tumbler Skirt. First, I want to show you how I cut the tumbler blocks. The light in my kitchen was awful that day, so excuse the crap-tacular photos. Then I gave it a quick press with the iron. My tumbler die looks like this: I’m going to place my fabric right on top of the outline you can see vaguely. Then I put my cutting mat on top. The verdict on cutting 6 layers of fabric at once? If you want to make your own Tumbler Skirt, you’ll need to measure the waist of the intended wearer, and round up to the nearest multiple of 3”. You’ll need double that number for your 2nd tier. You’ll need double the 2nd tier number for your 3rd tier. And so on and so on and so on. My top tier was 9 tumblers. Sew the blocks for each tier together (1/4” seams), small sides up. The finished bottom width on each tumbler is 6”, aka double the finished top width. Install your zipper and have the wearer try it on. Have the wearer try it on again. It’s super twirly, too.
Recessed Zipper How-To I've had a few questions about how to install a recessed zipper closure on a handbag. This has to be the longest tutorial written in the history of tutorials! I did my best to explain, but please let me know if anything is unclear. You Will Need: - (1) 14" zipper- (2) 15.5" x 2.5" inside upper fabric- (2) 15.5" x 16" inside lower fabric (I demonstrate using my own pattern, feel free to experiment!) * If you use your own tote pattern, be sure to alter your lining pattern to account for the extra fabric above the zipper - you want your outer and inner pieces to match after you install the zipper. 1. 2. Lift the presser foot and pull the zipper to the other side of the foot. Back stitch at the beginning and end, by the zipper stops. 3. 4. 5. Center the 2nd top strip along the zipper and sew. Place last bare side of zipper face down on last lining piece and sew. 6. 7. 8. You should be getting an idea of your finished bag! 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. I hope that made sense!
Custom tights using Ink Effects I love trying out new products, such as the DecoArt’s new Ink Effects that I teased you about on Facebook last week. Well, now I can tell you about my experience using it. I have some tips to share along the way to make your project as successful as possible. Also, check out the DecoArt Ink Effects website for more inspiration and tutorials. Oh, and by the way, DecoArt did send me the product to play with, but the opinions are, as always on our blog, all mine. My first project with these inks was for Little Jo. After printing my design, I painted it with the Ink Effects. If you want the black lines to show up on your finished project, paint them with black ink. Then I waited for the images to dry. I laid out one leg of my tights, placed the image towards the top, and covered with another sheet of copy paper. When I peeled away the painted design, I couldn’t help but marvel that it looks so cool! I used two sets of two roller skates to complete each leg. Little Jo loves her new tights.
Make Your Own Vinyl/Leather Look Handbag Straps - A Tutorial How awesome do these faux leather vinyl handbag straps look? If you want to make some great leather look straps from vinyl that don't show raw edges and messy threads, keep on reading because I can show you how. They are super easy to make and they turn out so good. I must say, I'm loving them. Recently, I took one of my bags down to the local quilting shop and the ladies working there marveled over my handles and thought they were real leather. A few months ago I was making a handbag from a pattern that called for premade leather straps, and after looking around, I found that they were either really cheap looking, really expensive or available only by order and had a huge wait for delivery. Finding the right vinyl is key, because with the wrong stuff you won't have that great leather look and it will be really hard to sew. There are a couple of other supplies you need; you can't just go crazy with the pleather yet. Let's get started: Materials: Teflon Presser Foot Rotary Cutter/mat/ruler
the Circle Skirt I used to think that a gathered skirt was the easiest skirt to sew. But I may have changed my tune. A circle skirt is possibly even easier! If you’ve ever made a poodle skirt before, it’s the same concept. Once you’ve created your pattern, you can whip up 4 skirts in an hour! Okay, let’s get started. What you need (for a little girl’s skirt): * about 1 yard of fabric* appx 3/4 yard of 2-inch wide elastic FABRICS to use:* Rayon* Polyester Charmuese* Simple Cotton* Thin Corduroy* Lightweight WoolMany fabrics will work for this project. ELASTIC:Wide elastic from fabric stores typically comes 2 inches or 3 inches wide; white or black in color. If you’d like to add a colorful twist to your skirt, check out our easy Tutorial for Dyeing Elastic HERE. Measure around your waist. PATTERN:This requires a bit of geometry but don’t worry, we’ll break it down for you. You need to figure out the radius so you can easily draw a circle. Then connect the dots to draw 1/4 of a circle! Now you have a donut!
Tutorial-How to make interesting leather straps for purses I really like to experiment a lot in bag making.I am bored of the plain straps,so I made these chic straps for my new purse & clicked pics so I could belt out a quick tutorial :) Here is what we are going to make. Isn't it yummy looking:) For this you have to first cut strips from your leather/faux leather/rexin or whatever material you choose.The dimensions are 5" wide by whatever length you want.I have used 20".So cut 2 strips of 5" by desired length. Draw a line on the wrong side in the center of the strip lengthwise like this.Ummm.............OK the line is really faint but I hope you got the point,if not I am here:) Now fold one side lengthwise (wrong side together) so it touches the line in the center & sew. This is what you will get. Now fold the other side similarly & sew.Now you will have a strip 2.5" wide.Fold it in half again & sew the entire length.Sew 2 more lines at regular distance lengthwise throughout the strip.This is the result,a 1.25" wide strap.
DIY bubble earrings This year I'm completely taken with royal blue // see here and here // {but last year, too} //see here and here // and lapis lazuli is the perfect stone to go with it. Inspired by these earrings I saw on the MoMA store: While in Istanbul few weeks ago, I purchased two large lapis lazuli round beads, with the idea of making a pair of earrings (to go with a pretty ring I bought at the Grand Bazaar). grab your supplies! * a pair of flat pliers (the pliers need to be polished flat in the inside, without the gripping lines - at least for * a small part of it), * two large-ish beads with a not-too-large hole * wire (mine is sterling silver 18Gauge Half Hard) and a big marker. {I'm using wire because I couldn't find headpins with the right gauge and the extra 3" length} And here's the fast tutorial: squeeze the edge of the wire with the flat part of the pliers, (about 1/16") Keep squeezing until it will flatten out like in the picture: Cut the wire at 3" length and repeat on the next piece of wire
