Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at one of my latest crochet projects: a crocheted elephant lovey. Let’s get started! Unfortunately I didn’t get very good photos of it, but here it is! I made it for a friend’s new baby. Somehow, whenever I think of making another lovey, I forget about how difficult the making…
Hello, on this rainy, wet, Simply Saturday! Today we’ll be taking a look at How to Make a T-shirt: Part Two. Let’s get started! (Oh, and I’ll link to the first part here.) Last week we left off right before sewing the side seams. As you can see, I did those with a serger. And that machine, I might add,…
Or rather, how to make a t-shirt if you already made a pattern. 😉 We’ll have to work on that. But, this in indeed the post I hinted at on a Modest Monday post a few weeks ago. I started out with this (super wrinkled) knit dress. It had holes in it, so it couldn’t really be worn as a…
Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at altering a shirt to be modest. Let’s get started! The shirt in question: one that has an especially big v-neck. Now, could I just wear a tank top with it? Yes. But, why would I do that when I can just sew in a panel and make it so…
Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at my latest amigurumi: a panda bear. Let’s get started! I made this as a gift for one of my niece’s for her first birthday. This is the same pattern used for the Winnie the Pooh bear (and care bear) in this post. I also linked to the pattern in that…
Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be talking about making skirts out of shirts. Let’s get started! Well, in this case, it’s not a shirt, it’s the top part of a dress that was cut down into a dress and–you get the idea. And it’s not a skirt for myself, but for my two-year-old niece. I made another one for…
Hello! As I’m sure you know, it’s Simply Saturday. Today we’ll be taking a look at a crocheted winter hat I made in January. Let’s get started! And here it is! Admittedly, these photos aren’t the best, but maybe a little later I can actually model the hat. Those photos will probably make it onto my Instagram, however. I’ll leave…
Hello! Today we’ll be looking at sewing a denim skirt, the final steps. I’ll link to the first two posts here and here. Let’s get started! I have kind of a love-hate relationship with installing zippers. Sometimes it’s easy and turns out great. Sometimes it’s just the opposite. 😉 Lately, however, I have been trying to get more confident in…
Hello! Today on “Sewing a Denim Skirt”, I’ll be showing how I altered the waistband to make it work for my skirt. Oh, and if you’re wondering why the waistband had to be altered, take a look at this post. Let’s get started! The first thing I did in the alteration process was a little math. I had to calculate…
Hello again! Today I’ll be talking about the first steps I took in making one of my latest sewing projects: a long denim skirt. Let’s get started! I used the same pattern as this skirt, only the long version. Here’s a link to the pattern, which is made by Marie Madeline Studios. Before I started cutting out pieces from my…
