Let's Make It: {Patched Elbow Tutorial}



 

This is a great idea to me and one I will be using!

My day job is spent in an ice cold office, wearing sweaters.

Since I am continually typing, I wear holes into the elbows of these sweaters.
This can get expensive and I go through a lot of sweaters!
I’ve tried finding some at thrift shops, as Balancing Beauty & Bedlam, my inspiration does, but I am unable to find the fab clothes that she does. ( I should give her my size and consider her my Personal Shopper. )

This Patched Elbow Tutorial created by Anna Rose from  The How-To Gal is a keeper! Bookmark this!

 

This how-to is amazing!

DIY Clutch Bag







Anne picked up a darling placemat at Wal-Mart for $1.50 and instantly pictured a clutch. That some foresight for you! Turned out fabulous! Stop by for her complete tutorial. Now, keep your eyes open for placemats!

Bolero de Amor





By now, I think everyone knows how much I love embellished shirts, jackets, etc! This embellished bolero from Amy at Positively Splendid is no different. Oh, I take that back. It is different…it’s special. I love that she took a plain tee and made it into a bolero and then embellished it. It’s so stinkin’ cute! I love that I could wear this any day, anywhere. Even to my corporate job. Great job Amy! Stop over to Positively Splendid and see her detailed tutorial and make one for yourself!

Ruffled Bag








Sharon picked up a bag from Wal-Mart’s craft section and created this adorable bag. She was even asked, ‘If you don’t mind my asking, where did you buy that?’ Unfortunately, she had just switched to the bag she made and didn’t have her cards with her. Lesson learned I’m sure. And one we can all take a lesson from. She gives a simple tutorial at Glazed From the Heart


Dress to Tank








Sarah bought this dress for 75 cents at a thrift shop over a year ago and didn’t realize it was too short until getting it home. She kept it until inspiration hit. And boy, did it hit! She cut it off and created a tank. She didn’t stop there…Using the leftover material, she made rosettes. Thinking on her toes, she didn’t attach the rosettes to the shirt. Instead, attaching pins to the rosettes so that they may be removed from the shirt for washing.

Ruffled Shamrock Shirt









Lindsey created the cutest shirts for her little ones! I think Lindsey and I are kindred souls. You see, Lindsey states sewing doesn’t come naturally to her. That is EXACTLY how I feel. I am so afraid I am going to mess the machine up. But, she got the machine out, followed a video tutorial on ruffles HERE, and made these adorable shirts!

Rocked It







This is a favorite of mine! Anne took an old, plain Jane shirt and created this stunning finished product. I want one. I will be on the lookout for a clearanced shirt to make one of my own.

She had a ragtop El Dorado tuck and roll pleat...

I have seen a lot of ideas running around the net for refashioning old t-shirts, usually adding ruffles, flowers, or even a zipper.  But this one uses pleated trim from the fabric store:


I really love how it dressed up this simple t-shirt.  You can check out the tutorial HERE at Welcome To The Good.
