DIY: Cowl Scarf

 Today I'm going to show you how to make a cowl scarf with a floral stripe . If you like the look of just one color better, it's really easy to just leave the stripe out. This is a pretty easy, and quick project to do. 

The first thing you need to do is cut your fabric into rectangles. You can adjust the measurements to however thick or long you want it. For mine, I cut the large piece of fabric to be 39" by 46", and the floral stripe is 39" by 6".    

Next pin the floral stripe like so , to both sides of the large piece of fabric. 

Then sew it up on both sides.

You should have a big tube. Now your going to want to iron the seams flat.

Turn it right side out.

This part gets a little tricky. Take the seams from both sides and pin. You really only need one pin.

Sew it up, matching up the fabric as you do.

Now you should get to a point where the scarf is half inside out, and half right side out. At this point, back stitch  and  cut off the loose threads.

Now your going to want to pull it until your scarf is all right side out. 

There's going to be an opening.

Just sew the opening shut, and your done! Not to bad right? I hope you liked this tutorial. Have a great day! -Zoe

DIY: Fabric Book Cover

The first thing you will need to do is measure your book (they will be different for every book), then cut out a large rectangle and two smaller rectangles, according to your measurements. Don't forget seam allowance.  

Next hem up the long sides of the large piece.

And the long sides of the smaller pieces.

This is optional but I added some flare by sewing on some trim.   

Then pin the pieces right sides together, and sew.

Cut the corners.

Then turn right side out, and put it on your book.

Just a note, this will be very difficult to get on a hard cover book.

I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial. Have a great day!

Designs: T-shirt Necklace Scarf

Recently I sold this necklace/scarf on Etsy. I made it from a 100% cotton T-shirt and a vintage button. This one is a little different from the T-shirt scarfs I've made in the past because of the way I tied the fringe and the bold red. I feel like it's more edgy then previous designs.

This is the necklace/scarf I made last year, and it also sold. In fact every one I've ever made has sold. I think it's because the way I make these is a little different from others I've seen on Etsy. I will certainly make more in the future.

This is my gorgeous customer Meg. She bought this scarf for her brothers girlfriend. (If your reading this) Hi Meg, it was an absolute pleasure doing business with you! 

The other day I saw these photos on Google image. I thought it was a really cool idea to incorporate large beads, to give that boho feel.  

So what do you think of T-shirt necklace/scarves? What kind are your favorite, and how would/do you wear them? Leave a comment telling me. Have a great day!-Zoe Pease 

DIY: Summer Wrap Bracelet

Todays DIY is for this native American inspired wrap bracelet, with a leather, horse button from a vintage tweed blazer.

For this you will need friendship thread (embroidery thread), beads (I got these at Walmart), and your button of choice.

Wrap your thread around your wrist to see how long it needs to be. Make sure to add a few extra inches for the loop and the button. I cut my string at 36 inches.

Tie a loop at one end. It needs to be big enough for your button to fit through.

Begin beading.

Once you've beaded to the end, tie on your button and snip the extra. Wrap it around your wrist and put the button through the loop. I like to wear mine with my watch. Leave me a comment letting me know what you think. Have a great day!
