Make a bag of a t-shirt

Since the motto of our times is "reuse" at least for some of us, here 's how you can make a bag from a t-shirt. I found this beginner tutorial on Not the Jet Set


You will need:

• 1 t-shirt any size
• scissors
• sewing machine
• thread
• 9" pie pan or 9" circle
• fabric pencil or chalk
  

Lay your t-shirt on a flat surface. Take your pie pan or template and lay it over your collar so that it is a half circle on the shirt. Mark the shirt for the bag opening.





Cut out the neckline according to your markings. Then cut out the sleeves just inside the seam line.






Turn your shirt inside out and pin the bottom opening closed.






Sew the bottom edge that where you pinned.







Turn your shirt right side out and your bag is ready.

What are these handmade pendants made of?

Take a closer look. Do you get it now? Yes, exactly, these beautiful, colorful pendants by Jennifer Maestre are made of sliced colored pencils encased in epoxy resin. What a fabulous idea! The picture is published on the current issue of Art Jewelry magazine. Jennifer also makes sculptures using the same material, which you can see in her site. Her jewelry is for sale on her Etsy shop.

Favor ideas

In September two of my best friends are going to have their babies baptised and two other are going to be godmothers. It's the month of baptisms (and weddings of course) so time to look for some baptism favor ideas.

Pebble cushions

I am back from a week by the see, still thinking of beaches, sand and pebbles. If you want to live in the mood of permanent holidays decorate your house with these floor cushions in the shape of pebbles by smarindesign. They exist in versions for both interior and exterior spaces. I loved them!

I am on vacation, see you soon!

Make your jeans as new

Until now all the tutorials I have read about how to redux a pair of jeans involve painting with fabric colors and sewing on sequins. This one is different. I found it on Canadian Living and it's by Faith Blakeney, Justina Blakeney and Ellen Schultz.
