I am an experienced blogger, having blogged for seven years now - during that time I have tuned my writing style to produce detailed DIY and Sewing tutorials on a weekly basis. I produce clear well lit photographs for the tutorials, taking time to style images for Pinterest. I am develping my video skills, posts are beginnign to include video content hosted within the blog post and/or on you tube. I send out a fortnightly newsletter to over 3000 subscribers and have a following across social media platforms of over 10,000. I have worked with a variety of brands, for example to promote preloved selling patforms such as Gumtree (UK), sites which support community and loaning equipment, to window firms to magazine publishers.
Today I’m joining the Upcycled Project Challenge with this upcycled yarn DIY plant holder. * Plant and plant pot (the pot I am using measures 3 3/4″ across the base) Cut your large t shirt to create t shirt yarn. Place your plant in your DIY macrame plant hanger, hang up and then trim your t shirt yarn at the base to a length which suits. If you would like to take this up a notch, or you have a large heavy plant I suggest using a couple of old t-shirts and plaiting three strands of yarn to create stronger rope.
I have gathered free leather purse patterns for you to enjoy, endeavouring to source a wide range of styles for you to choose from. If you fancy stretching yourself further there are many printable PDF patterns for sale on Etsy (affiliate link). Try a Teflon foot, or a walking foot, or tissue paper next to your feed dogs (you can rip this away later) Love bag making? Check out my ebook Bag Making for Beginners which covers essential bag skills with incremental bag patterns to hone your skills.
Pin onto triangle, along a straight edge so the webbing and D ring are facing the right side of the fabric, place the second triangle on top, right sides facing. Thread your webbing through the slider, fold over back on itself 1 1/2″ and stitch to secure (with rectangle and cross). Add the second piece of your bag closure, place centrally and stitch to secure. To stitch this seam, gather the bag lining up and place over the arm of the sewing machine so you can top stitch all round this pinned edge.
Jared has made a few wall art hangings in the last year out of pallet wood and scrap wood, often when I have not been around to take photographs! To make this particular scrap wood wall art he started off by cutting lots of pieces of different woods to the same size 1 1/8 by 17 1/8″,with avariety of different depths. Then place your art onto the wall so the battening on the back of the wall art rest on top of the wall mounted battening. I admit this is a very secure way of wall mounting the DIY Scrap wood art, we know it is not going to fall on anyone’s head when they sit on the bench seat putting shoes on!
