DIY Til We Die: Anthropologie "knock off" curtains from bed sheets! Start out by cutting your strips (mine are 5 inches wide) (I used a queen flat sheet, it's a great inexpensive way to get a large quantity of fabric) I just cut little inch long snips, and ripped the fabric into strips because I wanted that frayed edge! Here's what is looks like as you are ripping! You can either iron the pleats into the strips like this, then sew down the middle (takes forever) or you can use a pleater foot! I just took the guard off mine so I could pleat down the middle instead of just on the side. This is what the pleats look like out the back of my machine! I used this walmart brand flat sheet (they are like $4) for the curtain itself, (and a queen flat sheet is what I used to cut the strips from to make the ruffles, same brand) I used a seam ripper to open the end of the seam on the casing (at each end of the top of the sheet) to make a place for my curtain rod to go through One more view of the casing for the rod I ironed over 1 inch Bottom all done! see!
Easiest DIY Caftan Top Ever Caftans have sort of gotten a bad rap since the 70's. But I still love them, and I think they can be sexy, saucy, and stylish all at once if you go about it in the right way. Today I'm going to show you how you can make your own super easy caftan top that will be perfect for any occasion. Supplies: 2 large scarves (mine are 42"X 42"or 106.5 cm square) thread pins measuring tape sewing machine (or needle if you'd prefer to do this by hand...which you can, it's that easy!) Steps 1) Cut off any tags from your scarves 2) Measure from the centre of your neckline towards your shoulder and decide how wide you want your neckline to be. 3) Fold your scarf in half along one side to determine the centre and mark it with a pin. 4) Next, you need to decide how long you want your top to be. 5) Remember earlier we decided how wide the neckline would be? Leave your sides unattached and open for now. 6) Here's a spot where you can add a personal touch. Hope you give it a try.

Neroli Blossoms: Anthropologie Cirrus Duvet DIY Tutorial I have an early Christmas present for you, I finally finished writing the tutorial for the Anthropologie Cirrus DIY duvet cover that I made this summer. Yay! So without further ado, here is my tutorial for the duvet cover: Anthropologie Cirrus Bedding My version This tutorial is made to fit a full/queen sized comforter measuring 88 x 88 inches. Materials: 2 king size flat sheets 1 queen size flat sheet (for reverse side of duvet) matching thread sewing machine double needle – optional some sort of closure, I used 3 yards of lace to create ties but buttons or snaps can be used Sheets at Target about $15-$20 each depending on size Part 1: The Front Panel - First measure the duvet that will fit inside the cover to determine the size. - Wash and iron/steam the sheets to prepare them I found the easiest way to get the wrinkles out is to hang the sheets up and steam them. - Sew the 2 king size sheets together lengthwise - Divide the panel into 8 section horizontally, about 11” apart. Part 2: The Strips
The Best Free Crafts Articles Turn a Photo into an Applique | Little Button Diaries Ages ago, before our little buttons were on the planet (and what a different planet it was…), I did a bit of experimenting with turning photographs into appliques. Iwould chop out pictures, often magazine images, place them onto scraps of fabric, and sew to create an applique like this one: Flicking through some pictures the other day I came across one of Amelie that I thought would be nice ‘in fabric’. So I made a little applique picture using the photograph as a template.

Fabric Scrap Basket Tutorial | Sometimes Crafter I thought I’d share with you how to make my fabric scrap “basket”. It’s VERY simple. I whipped out another two baskets in no time at all. Now I have all of my smaller scraps organized into small, medium and large groupings. Did I even mention I’m a Capricorn and like to be organized to a fault? Directions 1. 2. **I like my interior to fit and not be so rumpled from too much fabric, so this is why I cut my interior slightly smaller. 3. If you are using fusible interfacing I suggest fusing that to your fabric before cutting. 4. Note: You could also just cut a 4-1/2” squares individually out of each corner, it just goes a bit faster folding and cutting all at once. 5. 6. 7. Note: By “right sides together” I mean to have the fabric facing out on your exterior piece, and the fabric facing in on your interior piece. 8. 9. I suggest you start with a pin in the center, and then half way between that and your edge seam, as shown in the second picture above. 10. 11. 12. 13. And you’re done!
