I stumbled across these fabric bookmarks that looked cool and super simple to make: source But I didn't feel like dragging out my sewing machine and ironing board. So, I made one out of paper! I cut a 3"x3" square and then cut another 3"x3" square into a little bit more than half. Because I'm using adhesive and not stitching it, I knew that I would need a bigger corner area, which you can see on the piece on the right side. And then I decorated the papers and simply glued them together on the top and left side. This...

Hey all, So I found this shrug jacket on One Avian Daemon's blog. I decided to try and see if I could make my own version from jersey knit. Mine is slightly different than One Avian Daemon's, but I'm borrowing the idea from her blog. :) I wanted the sleeves and the edge to have a different kind of finish, so I made them the same way ribbed jersey is usually sewn onto the sleeves and hems of hoodies and such. Here's what I did: This was such a fast project, it really took me like half an hour with a serger. And this is how it looks worn: I made mine with fabric that was 60cm (~24") tall and 120cm (~48") wide. The sleeve finish is about 20cm long (~8") folded in half and the edge around the bigger opening is about 5cm (2") folded in half and the circumference of the opening was something like 160cm (~63"). *** So, what do you think of the bolero/shrug tutorial? If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, and if you decide to make one for yourself, please link a picture so I can admire your creations! ^_^ love, Satu / Sew Scoundrel
