Altered Striped Tank Tutorial

Here's what Alisa had to say about her tutorial: When it comes to fashion I am TOTALLY obsessed with stripes- it is actually a little crazy how many different variations of striped shirts I have in my closet. And I also love pairing stripes with florals- there is something a little whimsical about stripes and flowers- they are so opposite they somehow make sense together- at least in my opinion. With summer here I am always looking for different ways to alter a cheap tank top and after finding a $7.00 striped tank at Target I knew I would be embellishing it with hand painted flowers and messy stitching.

Here's what Alisa had to say about her tutorial: A while back as I was browsing through though my local Anthropologie store (key word browsing!) I came upon these sweaters (below) and I loved the concept- square blocks of fabric applique on the surface of a garment- but what I don't love is the price of $100.00 for a sweater. While I do like browsing Anthropologie, quite frankly I never actually shop there- their price points make me really mad- but thats another story! Anyway, I decided to put my own twist on the concept but use a blank hoodie sweatshirt- a staple piece of clothing in my neck of the woods :)

The Ruffled Bubble Skirt , The Sunshine Dress, and The Scalloped Skirt Free Tutorials From Christie of A Lemon Squeezy Home

Looking for some cute ideas for little girl's clothing?   Well, Christie of Lemon Squeezy Shop and A Lemon Squeezy Home blog has three wonderful tutorials on her blog showing you how to make two adorable outfits for little girls.

Copyright © 2010 - Written by Christie of A Lemon Squeezy Home blog.

Here's what Christie had to say about her tutorial:   This tutorial is for a skirt about 18 months – 2T, possibly even 3T, but it would just be shorter. Adjust measurements according to your child.  I do realize that this isn't a "real" bubble skirt.  It's not made the same at all, but it has the appearance of a bubble skirt--thus the name:). 

The .PDF version of all Christie's tutorials can be found HERE.

Here's what Christie had to say about her tutorial:   Remember the table runner I made with the ruffled vase?  Every time I looked at it, I thought of a dress. And since that means it was pretty girly and the hubs wouldn’t mind NOT having it on the table, and despite him teasing me for making a table runner and then using it for a dress, I gave it a go. :)

The .PDF version of all Christie's tutorials can be found HERE.

Here's what Christie had to say about her tutorial:  Fashion Era had the following picture on their website, listing this as fashion for children in 1905.  I thought that dress on the right had a lot of potential for a skirt.  So a skirt it now is!  There were sashes on a lot of dresses during 1900-1909, so I made a sash to coordinate with the skirt. Fun fun!  Kind of reminds me of a cupcake, but that name was taken, along with every other name I could think of!

Facial Transference Free Tutorial From Brenda Greenwalt of Lillie Mae's Crafts

Love making cloth dolls, but need a little help with the faces. If you do, then you'll be happy to know that Brenda Greenwalt has created a free tutorial on her Lillie Mae's Crafts website to show you how to transfer a doll face.  Enjoy!



Copyright © 2010 - Written By Brenda Greenwalt of Lillie Mae's Crafts.

Here's what Brenda had to say about her tutorial: When I first started creating my Annie dolls, the face was always a part I dreaded doing. I would put it off until every part of the Annie was complete and I had no choice but to finish her by creating her facial features. However, that's when she truly takes shape and when her "character" and "personality" start to emerge. Therefore, it's extremely important to get it right.

I consequently then created a method of creating an Annie's facial features that made creating her face so much simpler that now I can't wait to get to this point in the creating process. This tutorial will help guide you through my own method with step-by-step instructions complete with pictures for each step.
