Rounded comfy pillow




It's actually quite easy and the result looks like I've paid at least a hundred bucks for it, but i used leftover fabric and some cord, and only spent a little bit of money on the filling:)









I've made a really big version to cover the whole length of the couch and width of the bed. It's super comfy and can even be used as pregnancy pillow or humanpillow. But you can start with just a cute tiny neck pillow and go from there;)


1. strange pinning
Make sure the stroke of fabric you have is wide enough to trim the edges and go around the circle. You decide the size and circle. Use a cooky-box, plate or big vase to draw the circle on double folded fabric and cut it out. To decide the width needed for the stoke you take a cord or peace of thread and lay it around the circle. Then lay that straight next to the fabric and cut a bit extra for trimming. Now fold the stroke inside out and sew the ends together (all the way on one side and stop a bit before the other side (hole to put filling through. Now the hard part (you might pin it wrong a few times just like me Y), take the end of the completed stroke and a side of the circle (both with inside outside) and pin. then slowly follow the circle until they are totally attached and start sewing the edges together. Fold inside out to see he awesome result already! and hand sew a cord around the sewing line if you want for an even better look;) Then fold inside out again and start with the second circle (again leave some space open for putting in filling). Almost done!:) Turn right side out and start filling! and more..push down..and more and try to spread evenly (you may have to softly hit the pillow a bit) until it's totally filled. Then close the last part by hand and again (if wanted) cover it up with cord. You did it! You can add any decoration now or even before filling and i mostly hope you will enjoy the result a lot!:)

Easiest Summer Bracelets

Image
I want to post some more complicated jewelry as well, but lets start with some fun and really easy bracelets to brighten up the summer even more!:) Needed: elastics (preferable coloured an good looking but even normal elastic or hair elastic will do), charms ( I've mostly used open charms for this example to make a double elastic side but Making a single one is even easier (check anklets) so normal charms work good as well!), caps! soft metal caps to hide knots;) And if you like add beads, use cord with magnetic closing etc. More tutorials coming soon:) Take 1 peace of elastic, pull it through the charm on one side and then on the other side. Now either tie them together at the end, or 1 cm from the charm on both sides leaving a single (more stretchable) elastic in the back. Use the caps  to hide the knots and...Done already! :D on to the next! A good reason to work with elastics is that it fits anyone and it doesn't discolor (like chains or other metals) And (even t

Sweet Dreams Catcher

Easy and super fun to make, with lovely results! <3 Make it in any shape you like and with any material you like just make sure you have so e tiny twinkle lights (i used VISVISS ikea - no they are not paying me to say this..unfortunately;p) and that the shape is big/small enough to at least go around the edges and down three times. For this example i used a placemat i found, but you can also create your own shape with iron cord (see twinkle post  for tips) or make it out of cut outs cardboard or lace! Anyway let's catch some sweet dreams...let's get started:) 1. Lovely shape Create your shape and make sure it can let enough light trough. Then attach the beginning and end of the light string where they need to be. Now you see exactly how much you have left for lighting the shape. Attach it (by bending or with tape or string or iron cord) around the shape and the hanging parts (will become a loop, so try to balance the lights). If you have leftover string, Great!, no

From Showercurtain To Raincoat!:)

Image
It worked! I had this idea, that the fabric of a showercurtain might be perfect for a poncho or a raincoat. So, i got a new one, and tried it out! Now, i have to admit it was a lot harder then i thought (mostly because I've never worked with this kind of fabric and I've actually never made a coat or a hoodie before;). But..It works! I'm going to tell you how i did it and I would love to see what YOU make of it! 1. Close the cutains Lay the showercurtain on the floor and fold the top and bottom to the middle. (a little bit more of the top/bottom if it's not trimmed correctly yet, mine had a good bottom and even buttonholes on top so i could totally use it as it was). Then start pinning or (to make it even easier) start taping paper tape on the places where you think you should cut/sew. Make sure to leave a stroke on top or bottom to make the waist belt later. 2.  Fill in the gaps You can either pin and try on first, or if you feel confidant sew the side and s
