Jewelry Pouch Made Out Of Fat Quarter Scraps

Jewelry Pouch Made Out

Of Fat Quarter Scraps

Pattern Recipe.

Method

This project derived from viewing a video on Instagram and I taking the idea and trying it with less fabric then they were making, which the pattern came out slightly different then I expected, but okay.

2 pieces of fabric at 10" x 10". Place them rights sides together. Stitch around the circumference, but leave about a 2" area unstitched. Turn inside out with the open 2" area unstitched. Open up accordingly making sure all corners are pointed. Press.

Then on each corner make a even based triangle on each corner. Stitch again around the circumference about 1/2" seam allowance. Prepare a ribbon, string, cord, etc. of your choice to draw through the triangle areas of the pouch. Draw through and cut off any extra cording more than tying into a nice size neat bow.

Recyling Of A Man's Top To A Woman's Top

Sewing

Man's Polo Golf Shirt Turned Into A Women's Shirt.

This shirt was made from a man's golf shirt that my son had for wearing golf which my husband had purchased during his young adult teanage years. I came across it one day in a batch of clothes ready to go to the hamper drop off box (Salvation Army, Charity). At the time I had my sewing machine out sewing. So I tried my hand in transformation altering for the first time.

I decided to do it similar to buying fabric and getting a pattern out to place on it and cut it out. The main focus of tranformation was the neck line. The pattern I decided to use to assist with it was Simplicity 4275 "A". I layed it out on the shirt and cut it out accordingly. Sewed it up from there.

I came across this top today and decided to blog and share my experience on this type of sewing on a blog posting.

Here are some of the photos. Unfortunately, I just took these photos today and can't put my hands on the others I think I might have taken a few years ago to show the before and after.
