Zippered Robot Bag Tutorial at Meremade

Monster Bag Tutorial at Sew a Straight Line
"A traditional gift for an eight-year old LDS child is a set of their own scriptures. My son received his, along with a special bag to keep them in, at his baptism. My son is wacky and original and I wanted his scripture bag to reflect that.
I’d actually been planning this bag since he was about four. Of course I didn’t actually make the bag until the afternoon before his baptism, but at least I planned ahead, right?
And since his turned out so well, and was so quick and easy to make, I whipped up a new scripture bag for myself later Saturday night..." Read more

The pad is also extra long and wider for the wiggly babies on the go or a toddler. Now you don't have to wonder what your baby is touching in a public area;)..." Read more

Reverse Applique Scarf Tutorial at Show Tell Share
"I have been doing some research one reverse applique. I like the idea of revealing the final design at the very end as you cut away the fabric. I already had a project idea ready for the boys, when I stumbled upon a reference to multi-layer reverse applique, called Mola, that the Kuna women of Panama make. I was very intrigued, because using more layers of colors opens up a whole new world of design possibilities. I wanted to try it. To start simple, I picked 3 colors..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make an Embellished T Shirt

What a fabulous, creative challenge with awesome results!

Embellished T Shirt Tutorial at Just Chic

-each of the participants has to buy at her turn five identical articles of clothing, keep one for herself and send the other four to the rest of us
-one article cannot cost more than $5
-we can do whatever to the item to embellish it: cut, fit, apply, ruffle, etc as long as at the end we won't transform it into something else. A t-shirt has to remain a t-shirt.
