…compilation of tutorials
I’m always impressed by all the great ideas out there: This time it’s about sewing yourself a pillow from paper napkins matching your home furnishings!
Seen like this it would be great for a picnic or similar, too: you can take pillows with you that match the other napkins ;-)
She said that the pillows are amazingly strong, somewhen I really have to try this ;-))

Oh my god! If I had a figure like this I’d go on search for an old crocheted tablecloth immediately and make me such a dress ;-))

Ever made a purse from an old shoe? ;-)
But that’s not for people with smelly feet ;-))

I really like knitted and crocheted bags but I never knew how to line them.
Now I found a tutorial on how to line a bag as on the photo.
Let’s see what I’m gonna make of it ;-))

I find that this hat looks absolutely professional and when I look at the tutorial on how to make it it seems that it is quite easy to be made.
I’m very impressed!
But I don’t wear hats, on principle ;-)

I’ve seen different tutorials for new watch straps but I always find it difficult how to attach them.
With the fabric watch-strap cover this is no problem because the original watch strap simply gets a ‘suit’.
Inventive idea!

Doesn’t this fabric bowl look beautiful?
And it seems to be quite easy to make (although I often underestimate such things ;-)).
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it just as the other clothesline fabric bowl because my sewing machine still can’t make the zig zag stitch.

I presented already some tutorials with t-shirts, this time it is about making a necklace from the t-shirt (the link isn’t available no more, but she presents a tutorial for a recycled t-shirt bracelet which is done similarly).
When I heard it first I thought: ‘That’s silly’ but the photos convinced me that it’s not ;-)
And if you don’t have a t-shirt at hand take some old stockings ;-)

I surfed the net and learned to my astonishment that you can make your own oilcloth – from fabric and self-adhesive sheets for covering books.
However I heard that sewing on self-adhesive sheets can make the sewing needles sticky, on the other hand the stickiness will be ironed there so perhaps it’s no more poblem.
I found this bag when looking for Furoshiki and find it great!
It is very easy to make: crochet (Or knit. Or sew. Or weave ;-)) a big rectangle and then you only have to fold it appropriately, that’s all!
