Beaded Earrings!

Hello again everyone!
OMG I can't seem to get sewing... I have this patchwork lying around and I'm just too tired to do something with it... So in order to make something anyway, I spontaneously decided to make earrings. After m purchases at the Stitch & Craft Show at least I wasn't short of supplies ;) They're all very simple and they're just for me but I do like them. :)

 Yeah... I made more than just one pair ;) although I just added the green ones for fun as you've already seen those.

 Finally some earrings in purple :) I also managed to lose one today but I'm hoping that it's somewhere in the house as I don't have these lovely purple hears anymore...

 I'm sure I have an outfit that fits these, I just loved the colour!

 Yes these are pink. But not as pink as they could have been. If you look closely you can see the purple in the middle. I just loved the design and they go really well with the more girly tops I own ;)

 These are by far my favourite! They're better when they hang as the flower is really inside the bead somehow and it looks really nice then. I wear these most of the time :)

A little bit more blue than the ones above and a little different bead-wise, these are also adorable.

I have one more set of beads to make earrings from but they're really pretty and I haven't found the perfect bead combo yet to make them. But all in all, I think I'm not doing too bad for a beginner :) I'm also working on some Easter projects but it's so busy here right now with lots of last-minute lunches and one my sewing groups has just got sooo many meetings on. Yes I have to go as much as possible, who knows when I will get the next chance? But hopefully tomorrow I will be able to sleep in for a bit, whoohoo! Ok back to trying to fix my knitting as well. Too many projects....

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February
