T-shirt bag tutorial

Right so you will need:

• A sewing machine or needle and thread
• scissors
• Pins for tacking (if needed)
• An old t-shirt

Step one: Cut off the sleeves of the t-shirt even if it is a short sleeved one. 

Step two: It should look like this



Step Three: Depending on the design on the t-shirt cut either a long 'V' or a 'V' with a bar at the bottom on both sides of the t- shirt



Come back next time for the rest of the tutorial  x

Crayon art

For those of you on pintrest (I'm not actually because I have stumble and tumblr and really don't feel the need) but any way here is my attempt at crayon art hope you enjoy!

This is how I arranged the crayons




And this is what it looked like after 20 mins with the hair dryer!

Crafty update

So I have been home for a couple of days now and look what I have achieved; the embroidery I did a bit whilst at uni but forgot about it for the most part but quickly finished it last night. I then got the crafty bug after I went to Hobby craft (Wolverhampton).





 I bought the kit for the Doll which was really easy to make but I had to learn Blanket stitch and I used this video on my phone to learn how to do it:
here is the finished product:

Ch- ch -ch-check it out!

Here is the hat that I finished a couple of days ago its a really simple stitch and I think pretty effective, inspired by 1970's fair isle yokes x

Pattern:
CO in the round in an even number of stitches enough to fit your head
P1, K4 all the way round
repeat until desired length
*Stay in the P1, K4 pattern count* 10 stitches then Co2  repeat until end
P1,K4 to end
 Repeat from * to * and every other row count one less stitch until you Have about 10 left and then draw all your stitches together
Any clarification just ask I know those instructions are rubbish x

Abakahn

I went to Abakahn a wool and fabric shop in Hanley the other day to get some fleece because it came to my attention that Pipin loves it so I have made her a little bag to play around in. Whilst I was in the shop I noticed that they sell bags of machine thread for £5 so I bought one here's what I got in it. Not bad hey?? Next to it is the fabric that I chose, I went to the market in Hanley first but they only had a red tartan fleece material and I didn't like the look of it tbh.
 
Here is the finished product I was going to make a tutorial but I didn't measure or make it that neatly and I ended up going to A+E in the middle of making it up because I managed to sewing machine through my finger :/.  

Painting the sky

Here is the back showing how I attached the pin and what pin I used:
