Pinned It, Made It Favorites: Take 4!

So far this week we loved every link, but our favorite would have to be the ironing board for the dryer by Thrifty Crafty Girl! It's perfect for Brandi's house set-up!

Thanks for sharing, everyone!! Make sure you link up this week and put your foods in our Foodie Friday party, too!

Tuesday Tutorial: Guitar Strap

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to share some quick instructions to make a super easy guitar strap. I screwed up and forgot to take pictures in the middle, but I hope my description helps. If not, let me know and I'm more than happy to help!

Here goes:

First, obtain a cheap guitar strap and remove the part pictured above in the top right photo so that it releases the old fabric and then take the whole thing apart (remembering how it was so you can put it back together).

Cut two strips of fabric that are 2.5" x 60" (you will likely have to piece the fabric together to get it that long - just make sure that it's about 60" long when you're done piecing together) and fusible fleece that is the same size.

I used printed fabric and a tshirt (if you use a tshirt, be sure when you sew to put the printed fabric down and use a ball point needle).

Place your two fabrics right sides together and iron the fleece onto one of them (I ironed mine onto the cotton) and pin it all together (using LOTS OF PINS).

Sew with a 1/4" seam allowance.

Turn your tube right side out, press, top stitch, then re-assemble your strap. Sandwich one end in the part of the leather/pleather you pulled apart and sew it back together, and then sew the other end in the middle ring (how it was before).

And there you have it. One fancy, schmancy guitar strap!

Made it Monday

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a fun and crafty weekend. I had a babysitter Saturday and me and the hubby sat around and watched movies, it was great. I did manage to fit in some sewing time too.

I made this little zippy pouch for a friend, it matches her state bag.

This is something new I made, it holds a pack of wipes and a couple diapers and it zips up.

I have a store bought one made of denim and it turned out to be very convenient, especially after the bottle days when all I really needed to grab and go were wipes and dipes. This thing fits nicely in my large purse. I made this one for my cousin but I think I'll make some more because it was so fast and fun!

Just a reminder, this is week two of Project Recycled and I made it through! So today is a brand new set of projects, we all reused a shirt. Please go over to The T-Shirt Diaries and vote for your favorite project. You can vote once every 24 hours.

Thanks for reading everyone, I hope you all have a great week!

I wanted the most unhealthy, easy, deliscious cookie I could think of and I suceeded!
