My husband snuck this photo of me getting ready. He’s the best. 🙂
T-shirt dresses are one of my favorite things because they are extremely comfortable and quick to get dressed in. Today, we’re going to make a t-shirt dress, but jazz it up a bit with some lace trimming. This will keep the comfort factor, but allow me to wear it dressed up to fancier events. This dress will have short sleeves, a scooped neckline, and inseam pockets. Read along for my DIY fancy t-shirt dress tutorial …
I recently got the chance to have some photography done by the talented Dave Blenis showcasing some of my homemade clothes. I was blown away by his photographs. They made my clothes seem legit! I had made this shirt last year prior to my sewing blog, so never got a chance to share it until just now. Though I had made the shirt from scratch, the method of applying an open back bow can be used for any t-shirt refashion and is a fun and easy way to spice up your wardrobe. So read along for my T-Shirt Refashion – Open Back Bow Tutorial!
I had previously made an inseam pockets tutorial which uses interfacing to help create sturdy pockets on clothing made with a very light fabric. However, I’ve realized that most of the other times I’ve made inseam pockets, I do it a bit differently and don’t use as much interfacing. Hence, today’s post titled Inseam Pockets Tutorial Version 2.
Today we will be making a t-shirt that I have been thinking about making since the early spring, but put on hold until after my pregnancy; my Lacy Summer T-Shirt Tutorial. Though the end of summer may be in sight, there are still plenty of warm sunny days ahead and what better way to enjoy the last days of summer than with a light t-shirt made even lighter from a partially lacy back. I’ve seen a lot of wonderful examples of t-shirts incorporating lace into their design out there in the blogosphere. Some of my favorite sources of inspiration include posts from Cotton and Curls, Pearls and Scissors, and So, Zo…What do you Know?. Today will be my own take on the subject. This shirt will have a scooped neckline and hemline to match. The lace on the back of the shirt will mimic the scooped hemline. Read on for my lacy summer t-shirt tutorial.
Me sporting my brand new belt (and my 39 week belly!)
I decided to make this d-ring belt tutorial because the first time I made a d-ring belt, I was blown away by how simple and fast it was. It literally took me two minutes and then I had a brand new belt (one which I still wear all the time, mind you, and which you can see at my Double V-Neck Boxy Dress Tutorial, Breezy Trapeze Dress Tutorial, Comfy, Cozy Sweaterdress Tutorial, and Golden Skirt Tutorial). Today, I want to share this easy peasy DIY tutorial with all of you, so read along for my DIY-Two Minute D-Ring Belt tutorial…
