Fun remake of a common accessory

Clutch Tutorial at Koltureshoq

"I’ve got an awesome DIY to share today; I can hardly contain my excitement. I saw this DIY Leopard Box Clutch tutorial over at My Little Secrets and always thought it would be a great project to try out. And then recently, opportunity knocked on my DIY door and I opened not just the doors, but the windows and the sun roof as well….hehehehe.  I’d asked my colleagues at the office to bring me their old jewelry so I could re-purpose them and Sope brought hers in this really cool Gucci sunglasses case.

Tutorial at I am Only One Woman Blog

"I have this thing, weird as it may be, about being able to easily see ALL of my fabric. Its a little difficult at times, especially with all different sizes of fabric. This is the solution that I use for my fabric that is close to a yard to 2 or 3 yards. First go to the dollar store and get the foam craft boards.  They are with the poster boards and are the same size as a poster board.  Then cut the foam board.  I used my rotary cutter.  I cut mine 12 inches wide by 10 inches tall"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Felt Box

No hemming or ironing necessary

Felt Box Tutorial at Oomanoot Blog

"Storage. Storage. Storage. Storage.  I think that if you’re a crafter, you can never have enough of it. There’s always more yarn to buy, a bag of fiberfill you can’t find room for, or scrap fabrics you know you will need some day.  I was almost done organizing my craft space (it’s always a WIP, but almost done this stage), I was only missing a few boxes to store said fabric and yarn in. What I really wanted were folding boxes, the type they have at Target – but there is no Target here, and IKEA didn’t have the right shape and color for what I wanted. I did not want to make them, and I put in a lot of effort trying to find ready made ones but couldn’t. So, I was left with no choice but to make them myself".... Read more

Plus at this time of year there are lots of things going on and it just seems that I dont have enough time in the day or energy after work.  And a lot of time, it is hard for me to work on tutorials at night (which is my sewing time) simply because of the lighting.   I think maybe I need to put some sort of lighting on my wish list!!!  So it is a little over-due, but now I would like to explain how I made my kids the convertible neck warmers (with hat) , which as you can see here is perfect to keep neck and ears warm while riding bikes, etc"....

Cape Tutorial at KR Finger Puppets Blog

"For my twin nephews' 5th birthday, I made them each a superhero cape — complete with superhero cuffs and masks. Even though I was really nervous, the fabric of choice was satin because my husband and I believed the shininess would give them extra super powers!  I wasn't too happy with the cape pattern I found online; the width was about the size of a bath towel. I wanted a cape that's big enough so that they can grab it, bring it over their shoulders, and cover their faces. So I made my own pattern, but it's really just a half circle.  Below are the instructions for the cape, mask, and cuffs".... Read more

While I was growing up I always helped her.  My  main job was shelling nuts.  Thankfully, I no longer have to do that. A trip to Holland and Barrett and I am all set with shelled nuts and candied fruit.  When I moved to England, she used to send me one every year. I must have asked her for the recipe several times.  Eventually, I got a note to say that that was the fourth time she had copied the recipe out.  After that, I kept the recipe in a safe place and started making the cakes myself"....

"Have you ever wondered what you can make for your grandchildren and other ‘under threes’ for Christmas?  This year I have decided to make beanbags. Beanbags are small squares of fabric that have been sewn together and filled with something dry – I use rice, but I have heard that dried peas, dried beans, split peas, lentils, or wheat can also be used.  They provide a soft toy that can be thrown and caught, used to practice throwing into a container or ring, or used as a balance aid eg trying to walk around the room with the beanbag on your head.  They're great for gross-motor development"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Snowman Painted Glass

Can be painted on any style glass

Snowman Tutorial at Make it Easy Crafts Blog

"Since a martini glass is sort of concave you can easily see inside the glass even easier than the outside.  So when I paint my Christmas snowman glass I paint him using a reverse technique so that you can see the front of him on the inside of the glass and on the outside you see him from the back. It's all painted on the outside of the glass and there is no paint on the interior! It’s easier than you may think if you follow the easy step-by-step instructions. Bake it in your home oven (No, it won’t melt) and it will be top rack dishwasher safe, but I always recommend hand washing. Even though there appears to be quite a few steps the paint dries quickly and the results are beautiful.  Wouldn't these be a super Christmas gift".... Read more
