I was glad that I watched this tutorial because I actually learned a lot after seeing it. Hes got some smart ideas for making your iPad much more convenient to use. I had to send this to my granddaughter, who is glued to her iPad. I especially love the trick he does with a coat hanger to make a stand for his iPad. He also makes some other clever stands and ways to hang it when you are sitting in a car....
I have some t-shirts that hold a lot of memories, which makes them hard to toss out. This quilt means more to me than any other item Ive ever sewn…its a treasure to me. One reason we all love wearing t-shirts is because they are made from such soft, stretchy knit fabric. When it comes to making t-shirt quilts, though, their stretchiness poses a problem. Thats why you oughta stabilize your shirts before you use them in a quilt or any other sewing project....
After following this tutorial, step by step, I began to get excited to see my results! This wasnt hard, like I had imagined all those years. Just goes to show you where your best thinking gets you…nowhere! I cant tell you how excited I was when I saw it beginning to come together! My mother is beyond excited that I was actually making my first quilt. I think she had given up that I would ever be interested in doing this....
Im crazy about this DIY project and how mine turned out! After seeing this, I had to make it right away. Its so easy and you dont have to be artistic to do it either. What a great way to recycle wine bottles! Pinterest has so many great design ideas for painting wine bottles. Talk about great gifts! Dont you love all of the awesome DIY projects available to us?...
This is such a fun project…especially to do with friends or your kids! I didnt know you could make these out of cardboard and they look awesome sitting in your home. It just adds a little more charm to your decor. These little birdhouses look great sitting on a bookshelf or on a table. Thats whats so fun about this DIY project. It can be your own unique creation! I definitely had to do that....
This is such a fun and easy DIY sewing project and the results will last a few lifetimes! Im in love with this design and I made mine with navy and cream floral fabrics. This quilt consists of two different quilt blocks and it creates a chain effect. She calls this Sarahs Choiceand a simple snowball block put together will give you this great looking antique quilt. It truly does have an antique appearance and I think thats why Im so fond of it....
Oh, I just love these quilts and all of the colors and dimensions in them! Its a perfect pastime, dont you agree? Quilts are my all time favorite items in my home. The ones that mean the most to me are the ones my Mother has made for me. She has a fancy sewing machine and always monograms a message and the dates on her quilts. She even sews her grandchildrens handprints into a corner of the quilt…so sweet!...
This is a totally different idea and you cant help but love it! The muslin buttons were on gray fabric with a red heart in the center. She used a wide border of red and white ticking around the gray…so darling! This is a great way to use up some of those leftover fabrics for the bubbles. I came across a similar quilt on Pinterest and used it as a starting point for this quilt....
I came to a screeching halt when I ran across this cool tutorial! Well, I simply had to do this…thats all there is to it! I love the way she painted the fence the nice gray color. She uses cedar because it is weather resistant, so she highly recommends using this for your plant boxes. Youve gotta get it super clean! The paint will not adhere to a dirty fence....
Dont you just love it when people repurpose vintage items? I sure do and Im usually amazed the old things that people use to make the most astonishing pieces! Some things truly live on and on forever… This is one of Decorators favorite items to use in new homes, or homes that people are updating. I can certainly see why, cant you? But I felt like it looked sloppy without a headboard....
When Im quilting, being imperfect can get pretty frustrating. These are quilt blocks made by stitching your fabric directly onto paper. This post is all about how to sew your own gorgeous paper pieced quilt blocks. Get ready for near perfection! Now, about the paper…Carol Doaks Foundation Paper has got it going on. you’re able to get it for approx. $5.39 for 50 sheets at JoAnns. It holds up really well during stitching, but its still pretty easy to tear away afterwards....
Im in love with this item and made one right after I watched this tutorial. You cant beat a big soft and cuddly body pillow! The custom cover is removable and has a hidden pocket. The body pillow can be stuffed to be as soft or as firm as you would like. Many people enjoy the additional support offered by a body pillow. Body pillows are especially helpful during pregnancy, as well as for people who experience back problems....
Anthropologie has some of the coolest things, but they come with a big price tag! I noticed that Zulily has a tassel chandelier for sale for $230! Then I saw that another store had one for $195. I saw both of these on Pinterest. And, it looks so cool lit up at night! When I made mine I put three times the tassels on it than this gal does in her tutorial....
