The first two projects are variations of the bird pillow cover tutorial I shared on Ucreate.Full tutorial here Deana used the tutorial to make a wall hanging for her bathroom rather than a pillow. Also notice the button embellishments on the leaves.Meg used the tutorial to make a pillow, but rather than fabric painting the bird/ tree, she made an applique for it. Great...
Just a quick post, mainly of the skirt. It's just a simple A-line skirt made out of knit, but I've loved it for the summer, (now that summer is gone I'm getting around to posting it). It's like wearing a t-shirt, but in a skirt. I didn't make a full tutorial, but I used a skirt I already had as the pattern. Just cut out...
Here are some super cute onesie dresses Lindsay sent in! I love the floral/ stripe combo and neckline detail on the first one, and using polka-dots on the other two! Tutorial here Lately, I've been in sweat-shop mode making capes, so nothing new and exciting to share from me, although I have an office chair in my garage ready to recover...hopefully I'll get...
I was shocked when Kari from Ucreate invited me to be a creative guest! You can get my tutorial to make this Bird Pillow Cover on her site today! var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-17358383-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s =...
And I think her version is better than mine! I'm sure everyone already knows, it takes a lot longer to make a tutorial as you go, rather than just create something. Sometimes I wonder if it's a waste of time to put in the extra effort in production and blog-time to make tutorials, so I get really excited when someone actually uses them!...
I love to see other crafter's work spaces. So here's mine if you're interested. I have one more little project I'd like to add, but it may not happen for a long time, so this is pretty much it. The room is so small, I can't really get one photo of everything. Here's everything I made/ remodeled for this room: Craft Table from closet...
I have been updating our House To Home: Room by Room page recently if you would like to see the dining room finished with all the links of projects I've done in there. It's nice to have one more room done. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-17358383-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src...
This chair was in my mom's house since I was in 6th grade. We loved it, and it shows because all the fabric on the arms is totally shredded, and the seat is thread bare and transparent, and the ottoman is completely destroyed. We received this chair from my parents as a hand-me-down and I decided it was finally time to do something...
I've made these before. Here's more detailed info if you also have friends having babies and want to make some! They're smaller and simple, more of a cozy blankie--not a swaddling blanket. I feel like one side always has to be satin to be a true blankie. I guess I loved satin as a kid or something? So the satin side has an...
