A pinterest project by Auna caught my attention. What a great project for my daughter! I fell in love with the project (i kid you not!). What is there not to love? It's cute, practical and so easy. No sewing machine needed...oh yes!! Okay i take my word back, it wasn't so easy on my part. I don't know anything about measuring a "dress" let alone making this sans my daughter to actually measure. I had to base and follow Auna's measurement thinking that my daughter will fit into her measurements. Oh, i did asked a co-worker of mine to try it on so i will get an idea, where i need to adjust or fix. Went to visit my daughter in Chicago, finally, she tried on my beach wrap and modeled it. The adjustments i had to make were the straps, it was too long on her. She wanted the length (above her knees) shorter as well but other than that.... it fit her to a Tee! ;) I had extra fabric so i made her a headband to match the wrap. Of course i got the idea from pinterest!!! that'll be my next blog! I will be making another one, this time plain black. I bought this fabric on sale,thinking that if i didn't cut them right, i will not waste that much. I love it... really love it! hahaha!!! The back view. Materials you will need: 1 1/2 yards of jersey fabric (45 width). Cut down Auna's suggestion (1.75 yards) since she said she had so much extra fabric. Thread Needle Tape measure Scissors *JERSEY FABRIC IS RECOMMENDED, IT DOESN'T FRAY, NO NEED TO SEW OR HEM THE EDGES. * THE JERSEY FABRIC I BOUGHT WAS ON SALE FOR $4/YARD. I SPENT A TOTAL OF $8 INCLUDING TAX. "Decide the length & width of your fabric. You want it to wrap around your body a bit loosely. I chose to have mine hit just above my knees. You'll also need to make underarm areas. I did that by folding it in half and cutting a deep "C". (*you may need more or less fabric depending on your size- about your waist + hip measurement)" ....AUNA Cut: Underarm area - Fold fabric in half and cut a deep "C" shape. I suggest to measure the underarm area or use a tank top blouse as your guide. Use a tank top as a guide and measure to play safe. This worked for me since she was not around when i made this. Use the extra fabric for your straps. Measure the width and divide into three equal strips. Then braid. THE NEXT THREE PHOTOS ARE FROM ANOTHER BEACH WRAP I MADE. Sew the ends of the strap. Anchor a tip of the "strap" so you can make a good braid. Sew both ends to secure the braids you made. Sew and attach the straps to the C cut (underarm)

Welcome back! When I think about Dress A Girl Around the World I think about pillowcase dresses. It is a great little dress pattern…the length can be adjusted with the ties, and the width has plenty of ease. This tutorial includes step by step instructions for making the standard pillowcase dress with ties on the shoulders. This is a chart of the finished dress lengths. Sometimes it is difficult to make a dress the correct number of inches so here is a range. Do you know what size dress you would like to make? Take a look at the chart below. Size/years old Finished Dress Length Infant 14-16 inches 1-2 years 17-19 inches 3-4 years 20-22 inches 5-6 years 23-25 inches 7-8 years 26-28 inches 9-10 29-30 inches 11 31-33 inches 12-14 34-35 inches There is one quick thing you need to do before we get started. You need to draw a template for the arm opening. Here is a photo of my templates in S, M, and L. Get out a piece of paper or cardboard to draw your template on. I am going to give you the measurements for the width and length. The curved line should go straight down for about 3 inches and then curve in a J shape. No matter how your curve looks it will work out as long as you have the length width measured correctly. Template measurements: (width then length) Small 1 1/2" x 4 1/2" to fit infant to size 4 Medium 2" x 5" to fit child size 5 to 9 Large 2 1/4" x 6" to fit child 9 to 14 Let's get started! For those of you that bought a pillowcase, choose the length of the dress that you wish to make and add one inch. Take into consideration the width of your pillowcase particularly if it is large or king size. Some king size pillowcase are pretty narrow and you don’t want to make a dress too narrow to run or play in. If you are more of a visual person (like me) take a tape measure and measure the width of the pillowcase x 2 and put the tape around your own legs just below the knee. What do you think? Is it too narrow? If so make a smaller size and you can use the leftover fabric to make pockets. Lay your pillowcase flat on a flat surface. With a yard stick measure from the hem to the desired length + 1 inch. Cut across the closed end. Pillowcase people skip the following paragraph and pick up at the pink sentence below. (scroll down) For those of you that bought fabric, choose the length of dress that you wish to make and add two inches to the length the width will be whatever the width of the fabric is… we’re going to take advantage of those selvages. Go ahead and cut your dress the length you’ve chosen. Put the selvages together and seam the length of the dress. If you do not have selvages zig zag from top to bottom to make sure that this seam does not come apart. Now let’s put in a hem. On one end of the fabric tube turn up ½” all the way around the dress, pressing as you fold. After you’ve completed this go around again folding up another ½”. Stitch close to the edge of your hem with your machine. We should ALL have a tube of fabric with a hem on one end. Lay your tube out flat with the seam on the side rather than down the back. It will be much less noticeable and both the front and back will appear seamless. Trace and cut your arm openings. Your fabric should look like this. It’s starting to look a little like a dress isn’t it? On the top front fold over ¼” and press. Now fold over ¾” and press firmly. Flip the dress over and do the same thing on the top of the back of the dress. Stitch close to the edge along the fold on the front and the back. After you finish, press the casing one more time. Dress Size Elastic Length 6 mo to 5 6” 6 to 9 7” 10 to 12 8’ Select the size dress you are making. You will need to cut two pieces of 3/8 or ½ inch elastic. (If you prefer you can leave the elastic in once piece for example if you are making a size 6 dress you will cut the elastic 14 inches and mark the center with a pin or marker. (I like to do this because it is easy for short pieces of elastic to get away). Put a safety pin on the end of the elastic and push it through the casing. When the center of your elastic reaches one end, pin or secure with a few stitches, clip the end of the elastic and continue across. While the safety pin is still attached fasten the end securely with a stitch or pin. Do not stretch out to distribute the gathers…we’ll do that later. Turn the dress over and repeat on the other side. If you used pins to hold the elastic tack all four of the elastic ends using a zig zag stitch. Make sure that you can see the ends of elastic so they will be well secured. This is what your dress should look like…if it does give yourself a pat on the back. Now for the ties. Find the length of ties that correspond to the size dress that you are making and cut two. It will take one package to make one dress unless you are making an infant size dress. If you buy 2 packages you will have enough tape to make 3 dresses. Size Tie Length Infant 24 Small 30 Medium 36 Large 38 If you look very closely at most bias tape while it is folded, one edge will appear to be a little wider. You can see it pretty well on the tape edge on the left. The wider side will go to the inside of the dress that way when you sew the tape about the arm opening you won’t have to worry about catching the edge of the tape that is out of sight. Fold in and press the ends of the ties. Fold you ties in half and mark with a pin. With the right side of the fabric facing out pin the center of the bias tape to the center of the underarm. Remember the widest edge of the bias tape needs to go on the inside of arm opening. Make sure the dress fabric is all the way in to the fold. Pin every inch or so to make sure that the fabric doesn’t slip out. Lay your dress out with ties laid up like this. You start sewing on the top of the left tie. Sew the edges together with a straight stitch. When you get to the dress fabric keep sewing removing the pins one at a time and then continue sewing up to the end of the tie. You will be sewing a giant U. Repeat on the other side. *If it is easier you can sew around the U with a zig zag stitch. Look on the inside of the arm opening and make sure that you caught all of the edges. Turn your dress inside out and clip all the threads, check your seams and the hem. You are finished! Flip your dress right side out, tie you ties and hang your dress up and admire your work. GOOD JOB! Now it is time to embellish your dress and make it your own!

Jeste hladno ALI meni je nekako toplo, da toplo. Ne zato sto super greju u zgradi (pu, pu..) vec zato sto se osecam mocno. Stvarno, ha, ha, istina je. Imam hrabrosti da kazem to sto mislim. Uvek se osecam mocno kada nesto stvorim. Kada pomislim-mogla bi OVO da napravim..ili...ovo? Vec pocnem da razmisljam odakle da krenem, a ne kako da krenem ili da li to mogu. Uglavnom se to ne pitam. To je moc. Naravno, htedoh reci, svi smo mocni u necemu ako to preokrenemo u svoju korist. Ako znamo da preokrenemo i stvari krenu, u stvari, u nasu korist. To je super! I tako... (vidi dole) Helanke (leggings) su ispale savrseno. Bile su gotove za pola sata. Mozda je nekome smesno sasiti helanke, ali nekome je i naucna fantastika. Svako bije svoje bitke, ali lep je osecaj kada dobijete! ... Mada mi i dalje nije jasno zasto placem kada gledam film, ubih se od plakanja, kada znam da je to samo film i to americki, i to obicno sa maestralnim krajem. Tu tek placem koliko su srecni. Verovatno me negde u dubini sreca pogadja. Mogla bih reci da znam za Ginisovu knjigu rekorda, ali ne takmicim se za izbor najduzeg posta... samo tako volim ponekad. Jos jedna torbica. Bas, bas zimska, da vas greje i veseli. Bas sam je ovako zamisljala i super je ispala. Kao i mali trouglasti novcanik. Ponekad krenem sa suprotne strane i pomislim- Zasto bi ovo bilo okruglo, zato sto smo svi navikli, e, ne, to necu praviti okruglo, to cu bas praviti kockasto ili .... tako mi dodje ponekad. Nastavljamo sa haljinama jer Nova godina se blizi. TREBACE. Izabrala sam ovu kao sto uvek kazem tj uglavnom zbog svoje jednostavnosti sto u stvari znaci da je laka za sivenje i da je mogu sasiti i mnogi koji sumnjaju u sebe, a ne samo oni koji su dobri u tome. To je i jedna od svrha ovog bloga. Do it yourself! Ove sledece dve haljine namenjene su punackijim osobama. Zar im ne stoje super? Evo je! Lepotica! Obozavam ovaj model, jos jedan od modela u koji sam zaljubljena, a jos ga nemam. U stvari, imam koznu jaknu ali zamisljam ovaj model od nekog neobicnog materijala ili eventualno od kombinacije dve boje. Dakle, nasla sam snit, samo moram jos malo da pogledam, cini mi se da je uradjena samo jedna velicina. U svakom slucaju, ispod sam linkovala pdf kroj ove jaknice, pa ko zeli neka skine. Meni se mnogo dopada i cini se bezvremena, uvek ce se nositi-little black dress, little white dress& little black jacket. I u pletenom izdanju je prosto savrsena. @@@@ Jos jedan pdf sam spremila za vas ako se u fazonu zvezdi. Uvek su moderne i interesantne. Ja sam dala sebi slobodu da iscrtam ovu zvezdu (i iskoristim, ali o tom potom), a i da je poklonim vama. DIY BURDA STAR BURDASTYLE Kad smo vec kod zvezdi, ako treba da skinete neku zvezdu skiniti je sa mog bloga-ima ih u pet velicina ispod ove slike u pdf formatu. NEW YEAR PDF STARS Ko bi odoleo ovako necemu? Naisla sam na ovaj kroj sasvim slucajno i zaljubila se u svetlo plavu jaknicu (koja je ovde i svecana, koliko vidim, znaci moze i za Novu godinu, na pr.). Nesto kasnije sam naisla i na sliku sa leve strane gde je skoro isti model ali u letnjem i veselom izdanju. Odusevljavam se sve vise moci krojeva i tome sta razlicita kombinacija materijala moze uciniti. Mislim da, kada bi imala vremena, sasila bi pet ovih jaknica i sve bi izgledale potpuno razlicito i u razlicitom fazonu. Dakle, jedna za posao, jedna za odlazak na kafu sa drugaricama, jedna za odlazak na roditeljski, jedna za slave i ostalo, rodjendane, bla, bla i jedna za NOVU GODINU! Za danas je i vise nego dovoljno. Uzivajte u ostatku mog omiljenog dana, ili popodneva, a to je PETAK!
