Destroying Old Tops

Hey everyone
This week I have been on the internet looking for new ideas to do, in the kitchen and in the craft room. So today I bring to you old t-shirts and then turned them into stylish new scarfs. The thing with these scarfs, is that they are really easy to make. 
All you need is a old t-shirt and scissors. That's all you need , no sewing machine, no sewing needles, no pins just scissors and old t-shirt (it doesn't have to be an old t-shirt it can be new if you want). 
Here is what it turned out to look like in the end.

And here's another example to look at. 

All you have to do is cut the shirt just under where the arms are, then cut up form the bottom (or the top, it doesn't really matter) with the scissors. the stripes you cut can be any length you like. 
And here is what the left over pieces look like.

And this is what the purple looks like on me when I'm reading.

Here's the pattern one, and what it looks like when I'm standing up.

 Well that's it for now. Thanks for reading, I hope I have inspired you.

Sleepy Head

Hello everyone,

It hasn't been long since my last post, but I have all this creativity inside me that just needs to get out of me right now. Also that it is the holidays right now, so I have all this spare time to use. Right, so on to what I have been doing today. Well I'm still using my book 'All Sewn Up'. Today I made myself a pillow case.
It looks really cool. The fabric I used it covered with fish and whales. It's really cute. There aren't any sewn on designs on it because I couldn't find any felt that would go with the fabric.
Here it is.

Well that's all for today.
Thanks for reading.

Fabric Creations

Hello everyone
I'm back!!!

Today I'm stepping out of the kitchen, and getting creative with fabric. But not just felt like my owls. Okay the first thing is an eye mask. This eye mask is made out of two layers of felt (so it will bloke out the light) sequins to make it look pretty and elastic to hold it to my head.
This is what it turned to look like.

And this is what it looks on someones head (my sister)

So that is the eye mask.
 Now to my other thing I made with fabric. I made a cat door stop. So now at home we can have the front and back door open without one spamming in the wind.
Take a look.

Pretty cute don't you think. It's head is stuffed with stuffing, and to weigh it down I used small pebbles. Every thing just worked. The eyes are buttons.
Here's a close up.

Both these patterns are from a book I got. It's called 'All Sewn Up' by Chloe Owens. It's a very good book. Full of cool and crafty ideas. I can't wait to share with you all the other patterns from this book.
Thanks for reading.

OWLS!!!!

My favourite thing in the world had to be owls. I don't know why but I just love them. So these hoildays I began to make some small, cute little owls. 

It's made out of felt. But not all the way through, I glued the felt feathers onto a polystyrene ball. I can't take all the credit. I used a pattern of  http://pinterest.com/ It's a really cool website. So yeah I found a pattern on there to make this owl. I hope you like as much as I do.

       Have fun.
Bye for now.
