<p style="text-align: center;">I'm always looking for ways to craft using what I have. This paper heart tree allowed me to use my <a href="https://amzn.to/3I4wSmV">heart paper punches</a> (<a href="https://amzn.to/3u8qHec" target="_blank">Fiskars X-Large Squeeze Punch, That's Amore</a>). I have a cutting machine now but it was sort of fun to use these again. All you need is that and paper, some glue, some string/twine and some tree branches. I used orange tree branches if it matters. You don't really need paint, I saw some bare branch trees so it just depends on your style preference. I did <a href="https://amzn.to/486nnOm" target="_blank">paint mine white</a> like the pictures and video.</p><p style="text-align: center;">To accompany my "tree" I made a small bunting with solid and gingham cotton, vintage style lace appliques and embroidered rose patches. I had this XOXO block sign and I bought this little delivery truck off Mercari (I think it's originally from Target). I have my lantern sitting atop a wide candle holder to give it height. The rose topiary I made by gluing satin roses (leftover from a bouquet) to a red Christmas ornament. I was feeling festive #masamorporfavor</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px; text-align: justify;">☮♥♻</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Nalinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18248595432794402333noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125477261374650525.post-79508038944643297052024-01-20T13:41:00.000-08:002024-01-20T14:40:17.350-08:00DIY Sensory Cube for Baby<p> thee Inspiration:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://p8.storage.canalblog.com/81/05/1032299/121968299.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="225" src="https://p8.storage.canalblog.com/81/05/1032299/121968299.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://minibouts.canalblog.com/archives/2018/11/18/36875313.html" rel="bookmark" style="outline: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="DIY couture : Le cube d’éveil - Tutoriel"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">DIY couture : Le cube d’éveil - Tutoriel</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lespontsdumarais.be/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/cube1-280x300.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="280" height="320" src="http://www.lespontsdumarais.be/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/cube1-280x300.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lespontsdumarais.be/tuto-cube-dactivites-pour-bebe/?doing_wp_cron=1664485095.0367839336395263671875" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Tuto – Cube d’activités pour bébé</span></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2diy.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/final.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="335" data-original-width="600" height="223" src="https://2diy.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/final.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2diy.fr/cest-beau/cadeau-de-naissance-le-cube-deveil-diy/">Cadeau de naissance : le cube d’éveil DIY</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I originally found the cubes on Pinterest but each blogger has made excellent tutorials that are easy to follow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The cube is pretty simple by itself.

Like I captioned my reel, I made the sensory cube made with odds and ends of materials I had lying around. I think it came together nicely but definitely should’ve added interface to the squares to have them keep their shape and no topstitching because it ended up getting in the way of the final put together. It was a fun little project. You can get really creative with it. Reuse and upcycle materials you already have. Add things that will make noise and personalize it for your little one with their name.<div><br /></div><div><br />

For this little project, I re-used a small gatorade bottle cap. In my opinion it's the perfect size for a pincushion ring. The regular size gatorade bottle cap is probably perfect for a pincushion bracelet.<br />

I referenced the tutorials below, they were super helpful. One thing I did different though, was use a leather hole punch to make the holes in the cap for the elastic. As long as the plastic isn't too thick it should do it, it did the gatorade cap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically all you do is take a thin elastic and run it through the holes. Make it loop and your size then knot the ends in place. I made my fabric circle 4 inches in diameter (using some leftover cotton from <a href="http://www.theekissoflife.com/2017/12/diy-fabric-cuff-thermal-top-la-free.html">this</a> previous refashion of mine). Gathered it, stuffed it and hot glued it into place. Lastly, I took a 3/4 inch cotton lace trim and wrapped it around the lid edge for embellishment.</div>

Same with your corn husks, take them out the bag, carefully separate them and place them all in a big bowl or sink submerged completely in warm water. Let them sit to moisten until soft/flexible.<br />
In a deep pot or big enough sauce pan place pork and fill with water just enough to cover the meat completely. Add the bay leaf, 2 garlic gloves, 1/4 of the onion, 1 teaspoon of salt, peppercorns, thyme and 1 tablespoon oregano. Cover and simmer until pork is soft and tender.<br />

When the pork is done, take it out of the pot. Save the broth, you'll need it but you can discard the pieces of garlic and onion. Allow pork and broth to cool a bit. Cooling the broth makes it easier to remove some of its fat, if you'd like to do that. Shred the pork using two forks. The fineness of the shredding is up to you. It can be really stringy or more on the chunky side, whatever you want to get the job done.<div><br />
Now back to your chiles. Take them and remove their stems and seeds from the pods. Throw the chiles in the blender with 2.5 cups of water. Add 1 teaspoon salt, black ground pepper, ground cumin, 1/4 of an onion, the remaining 3 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon oregano. Blend until thoroughly mixed.<br />
In a large bowl place your masa flour, add 2 tablespoons of baking powder and the pork broth. To this you will be adding the lard.<br />

<br /></div>
In a frying pan, heat and melt down your lard. We actually used pork fat saved from a previous pork rinds cooking. Once melted down pour it into your flour mixture. Leave like a tablespoon of the lard in the frying pan. Add the chiles blend and then the shredded pork. Let it all cook for 20 minutes.<br />
Knead you masa dough until it's evenly mixed. Mom's tip: You know it's ready when you place a little bit of it on your skin and it leaves a shimmer of grease without sticking. Give it a tiny taste for saltiness, if your lard was not already salted.<br />

In a large pot place a steamer basket. We used a perforated pizza pan upside down. Fill with about 2 inches of water. Arrange the tamales in there with their open end up.<br />
Bring the water to a boil then cover and let them all steam for 40-50 mins or until the masa is firm.<br />
<br />
When you think they're done, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly, then <b>unwrap your tasty Mexican gift!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>So yeah this is how my mom makes tamales. She learned to cook from her mom, abuela, aunts, older sisters, growing up in a small town nestled in rural Jalisco, Mexico. They're the kinds of cooks that don't use <i>exact</i> measurements. They.just.know.how.much! A lot of it seems to end up being "left to taste". Maybe that's just what it is. All up to taste. Maybe it really is just that simple. I tried my best to get quantities right but feel free to adjust things to your liking.</div><div>

<b>P.S.</b> Your choices for tamale fillings are endless. People from all over hispanic countries have their own renditions of tamales. Some people make them with chicken, some people go vegetarian and do cheese stuffed poblano peppers while others make them a sweet fruit filled dessert. Basically once you know how to prepare or make the masa dough you're all set for limitless options of filling. <b>Buen Provecho!</b><br />

A traditional Mexican Christmas drink, (although it doesn't necessarily need to be Christmas to enjoy this drink) that consists of fruit, sugar and spice simmered together in water. Similar to hot apple cider, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
This is a very easy recipe, muy fácil!<br />
<br />
Exact quantities really vary...honestly every time my mom and I make this, it's different amounts of everything. So these numbers are just going to go off the last time we made this. It's all about trial and error, your tastebuds and definitely your sweetness preferences.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<ul>
<li>2 Piloncillo or panela, which is pure, unrefined cane sugar</li>
<li>1 Apple</li>
<li>4 Guavas</li>
<li>1/4 cup of Dried Jamaica or hibiscus leaves</li>
<li>2 Tamarind, peeled and deveined</li>
<li>3 Cinnamon sticks</li>
<li>1 eight inch piece of sugar cane, peeled and chopped into smaller pieces</li>
<li>Regular granulated sugar</li>
<li>1 gallon of water</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3YM3q85DCEB6qSM2L714EIwzRjnFskjtnzA7WlrPhkjXQDEpk2-bpn5l_VS95iBvjtW_5HShBbPZ3gVsrgJBDcwnq8EtjpBMP7a8Uyphm5mG_rPldl5FXqFmmPU9V2sVa4osF-6OyySM/s1600/IMG_8391.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3YM3q85DCEB6qSM2L714EIwzRjnFskjtnzA7WlrPhkjXQDEpk2-bpn5l_VS95iBvjtW_5HShBbPZ3gVsrgJBDcwnq8EtjpBMP7a8Uyphm5mG_rPldl5FXqFmmPU9V2sVa4osF-6OyySM/s400/IMG_8391.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
1.You need to chop all your fruit (washed first) into slices and smaller pieces but not so small that they will like melt away because they're being boiled down. As mentioned in the ingredients list, the tamarind should be peeled and deveined leaving just the pulp. Sugar cane should also be peeled and chopped into bite size pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLhyFNf1LtmJ56km1VkET_bR-exHgfNVkpwBOAC3qgnvpz9Lz4s24YJPPamm_lG7ep3bTXCkepEqaktx1tqfWbQcikXjMfjOGTHiiH7kFU5pPHdYau2jR1kSTzKF70z-bdhxJu9OB9hZU/s1600/IMG_8397.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLhyFNf1LtmJ56km1VkET_bR-exHgfNVkpwBOAC3qgnvpz9Lz4s24YJPPamm_lG7ep3bTXCkepEqaktx1tqfWbQcikXjMfjOGTHiiH7kFU5pPHdYau2jR1kSTzKF70z-bdhxJu9OB9hZU/s400/IMG_8397.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Now place all your ingredients, <b>minus the regular sugar</b>, into your pot with water. Boil for 45 minutes to an hour. At some point maybe half hour into boiling, give it a taste for sweetness and now add the regular sugar as needed. We only had one piloncillo so it wasn't very sweet, the guavas were also a bit on the bitter side so we added a half cup of regular sugar to compensate.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg-wKkE4CQc4-sfYE1ABMQgVTw0FlOO67On1f0l8JPfp33tWKKaFnUwW9sf2gZKdr9ve8gIHwGzq7Q2voJlaUBuxE_5615HMdWCmDT61PWC4kiJMdQ6FMM3SWBZNRjODmlwxsEoJku3vQ/s1600/IMG_8425.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg-wKkE4CQc4-sfYE1ABMQgVTw0FlOO67On1f0l8JPfp33tWKKaFnUwW9sf2gZKdr9ve8gIHwGzq7Q2voJlaUBuxE_5615HMdWCmDT61PWC4kiJMdQ6FMM3SWBZNRjODmlwxsEoJku3vQ/s400/IMG_8425.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Listo! It's ready to serve, nice and hot but not too hot that'll scald your tongue. No, let it cool off a little bit. You can serve it with fruit pieces in it so they don't go to waste and are eaten or you can strain it and discard the fruit, up to you...nothing wrong with the fruit though. Obviously you don't eat the cinnamon sticks and sugar cane isn't really eaten either.<br />

That's it. Ponche Caliente Navideno, Mexican Christmas Hot Fruit Punch. I hope you try this for the holiday season but like I said any time that's chilly and you want a hot beverage to warm you up, drink this and enjoy!<br />

<p style="text-align: center;">To make your own piñata you can use cardboard or foam board works too. You can paper mache with newspaper or not. It really depends on how much of a challenge you'd like it be. If you're having mostly younger kids at the party you probably don't want it to be too hard for them to break open.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Since this piñata is for my son's first birthday, it's mostly just for show (totally doubles as decor too, make it coordinate). I know he's not going to break it open and if he does well wow. So yeah I only paper mached the bottom. I used a box of diapers so I was able to use one of the built in handles for the opening needed to put the candy inside. I added a rope handle and reinforced the top part with double cardboard. I didn't have masking tape but I used this brown tape I had to put it altogether. I'm pretty sure you can use any kind of tape. You can also use hot glue. I hot glued the handle and top area. For a piñata stick I covered a 24" PVC pipe in metallic foil fringe (you can see a tiny bit of it in the first pic).</p><p style="text-align: center;">Now, of course I like to make things harder than they need to be so for the tissue paper I chose this laborious style. I found this video tutorial by Van TopSecret. It's for a standee but works for this especially if you want a bigger sized piñata like I did.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I was only going to use the video for the measurements but ended up really liking the look of the tissue paper. They only did the front. I did the whole thing because a piñata is seen from all angles. I regretted it like a quarter of the way through but in the end I do like the result very much. Mine was less rolled up tissue and more like little paper explosions. I don't know I thought it went with the vintage race car theme we were doing. If you want to be the most frugal with this definitely stick with using crepe paper streamers, cutting it into fringe and gluing on in rows. I imagine that's super quick and less glue, less cost.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are the measurements I used from the video.

These fabric pumpkins turned out so cute. I found the perfect sized pumpkins by <a href="https://www.blogger.com/www.thespruce.com">The Spruce</a>. You can get their free sewing pattern <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/free-pumpkin-pillow-pattern-2977964">here</a>. They have it titled as pumpkin pillows but if you just follow their tutorial for the body, you can add whatever type of stem you'd like and use whatever kind of fabric. I wasn't looking for pillows, more like just for decor but again the sizing of these worked out great. I took the large pumpkin pattern and scaled it up about two sizes more to make the really big pumpkin.<br />

I also found this tutorial for upcycled pumpkins. If I didn't have so much of this fabric already I would've definitely done this one. You can check out the how-to by Evie Bidell, <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/handmade/easy-sew-fabric-pumpkins">here</a>.<br />

I have had this orange burlap material for years and it never occurred to me that it would be great for some fake pumpkins. It would be good for some fake carrots too but those don't really say fall as much as they do Easter. Anyway there is so much of this material that I was tempted to make huge pumpkins but then I wasn't sure where I would put them since I don't want them outside.<br />

This craft also allowed me to make use of some fabric samples that were from a company I no longer order fabrics from. I took all the green shaded taffeta swatches and some crepe satin but only ended up using the taffeta. Taffeta is awesome to work with because it's stiff, lightweight and you can easily singe the edges. It's basically the paper of fabrics.</div>

For the trunks or stems rather, I got a roll of faux burlap ribbon. I knew I only needed small pieces so I went with the ribbon instead of buying fabric. Added bonus the ribbon has sealed edges making it even easier to work with.</div>

I sort of followed the given pattern for the stems but not really because mine are not as curved nor as tall. I gave them a little stuffing too. For the pumpkin leaves I cut away the pieces of swatches that had glue residue from the booklet they were in and cut out some pumpkiny looking leaves. </div>

Then I singed the edges of the leaves with a candle and hot glued a little pleat on them. Also hot glued some of the stem edges inward to create a flatter base.</div>

So fabric pumpkins are pretty easy to make whether you sew or not, there are plenty of tutorials out there showing you different methods to get it done. (Just search "no sew fabric pumpkins" on google or Pinterest) Real pumpkins are nice but they are one time deal, they're a fruit (yes, technically because it has seeds) and are better cooked up and eaten than wasted. Make these pumpkins and you can re-use them every autumn. </div>

Here they are sitting on the piano. The middle pumpkin is almost too big for this spot but I like how they look all lined up. I'm thinking some wooden letters or signs would accompany them really nicely. Maybe like the words "give thanks" or even "fall" would work. I hope you give making your own reusable pumpkin decor a try. </div>

A lovely customer was kind enough to send me some interesting textiles to work with a little while ago. One of them was this vintage Guatemalan embroidered poncho. There were some light stains and holes throughout the bottom un-embroidered portion but the rest was fine.</div>

For these bags (minus one tote that got a matching leather tassel) I was able to finally make some denim tassels. Very glad I did because they matched so well and added a nice final detail. You make denim tassels too, it's pretty easy. Check out this <a href="https://www.pillarboxblue.com/how-to-make-tassels-denim/">tutorial by Pillar Box Blue</a><br />

I posted this awhile back to my IG. I have a new #workinprogress lol due in October. I made him this onesie with one of my husband’s old button down shirts and used this sewing pattern by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1015556985/r68-sewing-patternpdf-sewing-pattern4?click_key=f4c7b25b6afa80585f6edceacae9b019a82f823e%3A1015556985&click_sum=db2dd6dd&ref=shop_home_active_19&crt=1">Hello Dear Kids</a> in size 6-12 months. The pattern comes in four styles with this being the elastic long romper. I didn't have to make the button placket since the shirt already had it done. I did have to add a metal sew on snap though because it got too thick for a plastic kam snap. This pattern really lends itself to upcycling shirts with buttons. There are tons of upcycled clothing ideas for kids and I can't wait to try more. Here are some on my list:<div><br /></div><div>1. <span color="var(--global-palette3)" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.heatherhandmade.com/upcycled-baby-leggings/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FeathersFlights+%28Feather%27s+Flights%29">Upcycle a T-Shirt into Baby Leggings</a> by Heather Handmade</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The kimono open cardigan styles I made earlier this year. So I found this <a href="https://amzn.to/3x9UgZX">Butterick pattern for a patchwork jacket</a> and tried it out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlrf0MzVUzLoCACNgSATgq2mzfXYeoBnKZN1qIhvDgCcbdeZ8T5Mtbsk0w7VhgrHKNzMp3UVU8v680TzYWzkoqVQolvzUFpjP6rEW5p8Pl75tiMYy_NgQLNmNOfLJ4Px8o247w9uce6I/s2048/IMG_8001.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlrf0MzVUzLoCACNgSATgq2mzfXYeoBnKZN1qIhvDgCcbdeZ8T5Mtbsk0w7VhgrHKNzMp3UVU8v680TzYWzkoqVQolvzUFpjP6rEW5p8Pl75tiMYy_NgQLNmNOfLJ4Px8o247w9uce6I/s320/IMG_8001.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The patchwork as shown in their photos does not actually have a pattern. Rather you're supposed to do that yourself and then cut it out as if it were whole fabric. I actually thought the patchwork would be done for you and was looking forward to trying it out. It ended up being fine though since I mainly just wanted the sizing reference and could do my own patchwork. I added a poly lining to the front and back (not in the sleeves). As well as inner pockets that should be able to fit your phone if you need. I also added a snap closure at the neckline instead of the pattern suggested button and loop.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicrkSXR4qfUkadPRknZQmTf-zmh_acvEamfT4Lp51QSHfKKzzNIx3lFxiOZAN1Px-ztjBhnuXyFHDjUMIcHotoXUf-DI4xYxlpiiwQSYrUlPGxVDlZSWGjEKvL6kXd-R1BAjd1lRzK4qPgePSHP5OB5rUh9HJelrXkXQlrF3T6PUXbkqwBvUCgUHc=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1489" data-original-width="2048" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicrkSXR4qfUkadPRknZQmTf-zmh_acvEamfT4Lp51QSHfKKzzNIx3lFxiOZAN1Px-ztjBhnuXyFHDjUMIcHotoXUf-DI4xYxlpiiwQSYrUlPGxVDlZSWGjEKvL6kXd-R1BAjd1lRzK4qPgePSHP5OB5rUh9HJelrXkXQlrF3T6PUXbkqwBvUCgUHc=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can check out the jacket for complete details <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1122274607/upcycled-jean-patchwork-jacket-handmade?ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&frs=1">here in the shop</a>.

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">These were leftover birdhouses from <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=9125477261374650525#editor/target=post;postID=182237210419290592;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=12;src=link">our wedding centerpieces</a>. I tried to make them into Christmas village houses. I just used cardboard/cardstock and kept them all white. Next year I can easily paint them different colors to match a new theme. I have a couple other houses I can makeover next year and truly make it a village (with more trees too). I'd like to actually cut out the doors instead of cardboard too. I think that'll look best but for now this is what I did.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The macrame candle jar cover took me a bit but now I know really well how to do square and diagonal half hitch knots.

Pretty simple transformation with these birdhouses. I also think adding some paper string lights would be cute added detail.</div>

I'm not a huge fan of faux denim but I can't deny how comfortable it is. These skinny jeans in particular or rather jeggings were super comfy. The knees eventually faded out though and the fabric is starting to pucker, like most stretchy material does around the inner thighs area. I love the waistband on this so I had to keep it going. I chopped the legs off and put those pieces towards bags. Now I had this top piece left and a fabric remnant (It's rayon. It has a subtle stretch to it and drapes very well) I got it at <a href="http://www.joann.com/fabric/apparel-fabric-and-trims/silky-apparel-fabric/#prefn1=content&prefv1=100%25%20Rayon" target="_blank">Joann fabrics</a>. Put them together and you have an easy maxi skirt.<br />

This fabric remnant was about 1.5" yards in width and 31" in length. The denim mini is 7" at it's shortest in the middle front and 9.5" long at the middle back. Just gather the fabric and attach it to the denim mini. Serge the raw edges either before attaching them like I did or at the end altogether.</div>

Apparently I take long strides when I walk so I will have to open up a side or both sides so that I can extend my legs out more. Yeah, I would've liked a little more fabric but this was a remnant I thought matched really well with the denim, I had to make it work.</div>

Giving color and pattern to a solid comfy t-shirt, looks simple enough to me. I had this bright red-orange tee and a remnant of fabric leftover from this <a href="http://www.theekissoflife.com/2016/05/vintage-finds-simplicity-5082-sewing.html">wrap and tie pantskirt</a> I made. This fabric piece just goes so well with the shirt. It was meant to be.</div>

First I did was mark how high I wanted the center back. I basically made go to where the front neckline is. Then fold the shirt in half, with side seams meeting in the middle. Create the shape you want for the front and back "v"s. Well I guess the back is more curved than a "v" but you get it. I had the front "v" end right above the belly button.</div>

Once that was cut out (leaving a 1/4" seam allowance) I took my scrap piece of fabric, evened it out and sewed it in half lengthwise. The piece was 37.5" long by 30" wide so 15" when folded in half.</div>

I have a similar shirt that I like the back length of so I used it as a reference. Within this piece of fabric I was able to get both front and back pieces. Starting with the top back curve.</div>

Then the front after the back is all cut out. Make sure the width is the same as where it meets up on the sides. After that I had it flare out some since this fabric doesn't stretch like the t-shirt does.</div>

So the seams on the fabric will end up in the middle and should then be sewed to your t-shirt. I did the front first then the back.</div>

I wanted the front middle corner to line up exactly with the middle seam of the fabric. It was a little tricky but got it eventually.</div>

After the front is attached to the front and the back to back you can serge the raw edges. Then you can attach the sides together and serge those. After all that even out the bottom a bit, get it how you want and hem it.</div>
