Trash To Couture: DIY out-dated tshirt into lovely pencil skirt.



I was checking out the things (by that i mean all the clothes i have for my sewing projects) and i have like 2 or 3 tops like this i love lace and i decided to get them and save them...1st they are not cute as tops, so i was thinking of doing this same thing with them. when i finish my projects i will post pics and maybe my own tutorial!!!!

My latest projects

Now, i present to you....... part of my collection of skirts!!!'

Here are 3 of my many projects I've been doing lately, they are all from old clothes, so they are all upcycle skirts!!!

                                                                (Front with belt)

 1. This was a sweater, i love the colors, Neon colors are the trend now so i thought since is still a bit cold why not make this sweater a cool skirt!!!

                                                               (Back)

                                                                   (Back w/o belt)

(Front)

 2. This skirt here was an XL size women's top, a very cute one too!! since i love the colors and the pattern too i wasn't going to re-size it so i turned it into this cute skirt, perfect for Easter day!!!

(Back)

(Front)

3. This one here was a very, VERY long skirt, i wasn't really sure of the color and pattern but i still went and bought it, that's just how i am =). and i added ribbon in the seam i made in the middle.

(Front again!!)

So this one is not that bad, my Dear husband even told me i should start to sell the things i make like this skirt!!!! That just made my day!!! Luv u Gordo!!!!

So i hope you like my new collection sorry i didn't make tutorials for the 3 of them i was too exited and involved in making them i forgot to take pics or video!! Next time...i'm saving for a better camera so you guys can enjoy the videos and pics way better than they are now!!!!

Happy Easter!! &  Happy crafting!!!!!

Bed Skirt Tutorial | Trends and Traditions



OMG!!! i love this idea...i hate how ugly my bed looks cuz its showing the bottom of it and here is my solution, and it might be for you too!!!!!

Jean skirt! Part 1 

I was looking at my closet the other day and i got bored of seeing a bunch of jeans i wasn't looking forward 2 wear... then i got an idea...i didn't have any skirts 2 wear this winter so i remembered i had tried once 2 sew by hand a similar project but it wasn't what i wanted it 2 be, this time i owned i working sewing machine!!! I got all exited of just the thought of it so i got all my stuff ready for sewing and finish that same day...i say this 'cuz things with me take WAY longer...LOL! there's always something going on, like my son needs me, work, cooking, etc.

So now i'm just going 2 walk u threw my project...since i was 2 exited and forgot 2 take pics threw out the project!!

Materials you'll be needing are:

-Pair of jean

-Notions: thread, needle, sewing machine, etc.

-Patients (lol)

Price: FREE!!!!!

Time:1 hr ( 4 me was like 12 hrs lol)

1. Find the jean you want to cut, it doesn't matter which one. measure the length that you want your skirt 2 be...how short i mean. and mark it!

2.Now cut the seams, front and back...the front has 2 be cut up to the crotch part right where the zipper is, and cut the back, leaving about 5"inches from the waistband.

3.Now is time 2 pin and get ready for sewing...it can be sewn by hand i've done it but not so easy!!

4.When you pin it should look like tin the pic above, but you can do it any way you like. either in the front or back, or both, there will be a space of no fabric, you can cut a square or watever piece you need from the legs you have left and pin it. OR be more creative and add another fabric u like and pin it.

5.Now time 2 sew!!! you can use any type of stitch u prefer i used zigzag 1st then secured the fabric with straight, i also used 2 different colors or thread inside is white, outside black.

6.Happy Sewing!!! & hope you understood my tutorial =)!
