Luv Bords



This was my first attempt sewing fabric birds. I used a piece of Bamboo I found here around my home then painted it green. I had a lot of fun making this for the children's playroom.

SEW CHEAP BUT BOOTIFUL BATH TOWELS!


I am obsessed with towels! I adore hand towels, kitchen towels, bath towels, beach towels...just all of it!! I always feel ripped off when I'm shopping at the store and I see a cute kiddie towel I want to buy for my little love's bathrooms. So I decided to start making my own and I'm so glad I did! Once I started I found out I JUST CAN'T STOP! This is a great project to do for your home!
Materials, hand towel, scrap fabric. Measure your fabric to be one inch longer on all 4 sides.

Turn your fabric over and fold the seams one inch then iron to keep it in place.

Next pin and position your fabric onto your towel.

Sew with a zig zag stitch.

NOW HANG THAT CUTIE TOWEL UP IN YOUR BATH AND BE PROUD!!

I JUST LOVE MAKING THESE :) AND IT ONLY COST ME $2.50! ENJOY :)

Sweet & Easy Baby blanket!

Materials: 1/2 yard designer fabric (i used Micheal Miller) for the top & 1/2 yard Minky for the back.

pin and sew both pieces right sides together


Leave a two inch opening!!

Turn your blanket right sides out and close up the opening. Optional Step! Top stitch the entire blanket with a decorative stitch.

And That is it!!!!! Now you are ready to wow the ladies at your friend's baby shower!! ENJOY! :)

DIY: Monster Hooded Towel

Materials: 1 bath towel, 2 wash cloths for the hood and one extra for the spikes & eyes. A strip of rick rack.

Trace and cut out 4 triangles. Sew two right sides together. Leave an opening. Turn right side out and sew shut.



Attach your rick rack to the right ends of both wash cloths. Sew in place.



to make the eyes, cut out two oval cloth pieces, fold in half and sew. Cut a circle out of your wash cloth for the eye.


sew your triangles onto one side of your towels with the horns facing down. Then place both clothes right sides together and sew. Only sew across the top and down the left side of the towels. Leave the right sides open.




Now attach your eyes by sewing a zig zag stitch around the cloth and fabric pieces.

Looking like a monster!

Pin the back side of your head towel onto the inside of your body towel (long ways). Find the center of your towel and position your head piece. Only sew the back side! Make sure to sew the hood and the body towel wrong sides together.


TADA!!!! A HAPPY MONSTER/DINO/LIZARD!!

Once you get the hang of it there's no stopping your creativity!!


ENJOY! :)
