Oh Knickers! - The Knicker Bag Tutorial By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

I have to tell you that the next tutorial is just too cute.    Not only is the fabric itself adorable, but the bag is made out of knickers.  It's a knicker bag.  If I've piqued your curiosity then check out the tutorial Ros Coffey has on her RosMadeMe Blog blog.   I just love it.

Oh Knickers! - The Knicker Bag Tutorial

Copyright © 2012 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial:  Yes, you read it right, this is the knicker bag tutorial and is I think the very first bag I ever made way back in the early 70s when the craze for them hit the Convent. It was such a great bag for carrying books and files to school, although I never quite managed to get the Peak Freens biscuit tin in there for Domestic Science!

As you can imagine the design is based on an outsize pair of knickers, with the gusset becoming the handle and the waist being sewn across to create the base of the bag... now before you think I have lost the plot I can tell you that no lingerie will be harmed in the making of this bag, so let's get started.


Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work! I am a dreadful hoarder, with stashes of wool and fabric hidden around my house, together with the projects that I have not yet finished. I am currently making cushions, quilted, appliqued, stencilled... actually just anything that I will enjoy crafting.

Altered Book Frame Tutorial By June Crawford of A Creative Dream

I am a book lover and book collector and just hate throwing a good book away. Well, you can imagine how pleased I was to see that June Crawford had a wonderful tutorial on her A Creative Dream blog showing you how to make an altered photo frame from an old book. I just love this idea.


Copyright © 2011 - All Rights Reserved - Written by June Crawford of A Creative Dream

Here's what June had to say about her tutorial:   Let's alter a book.... Not like I haven't done that pretty often, eh? I am somewhat obsessed with it aren't I? This time I have a twist though... instead of making another journal, how about we turn a book into my current fancy... a frame?

I seem to have caught this particular bug (for making frames) while I was working on the woven photo frame. (You know... the one that I've got up for grabs as the current give away...over there on the left).  Since you can alter books into so many other things, surely I can alter a book into a frame, right?

First is the deconstruction phase. One of the most interesting things I have found since I started altering books is how very simple it is to deconstruct one. I have always thought of a book as something that is rock solid, but all it takes is two carefully created incisions and you have a book cover separated from the book pages. My only caution here is that you be very careful (if you follow along and create your own) not to puncture the spine of the book while you make the incisions.

Zip It, Flower! A Recycling Tutorial By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

If you love to recycle and hate to throw anything anyway - even zippers then you're going to love the recycling zipper tutorial that Ros Coffey has on her RosMadeMe Blog blog.

Zip it, flower! A recycling tutorial

Copyright © 2012 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial:  My mother could mend anything and if she could not mend it, then it was saved just in case, which would explain why, when she was knocked off her bike in her 70s and had stitches, she was able to find a sterile stitch cutter in her sideboard so I could take her stitches out.

Now you will remember that the quality and capacity of her button jars were legend along with her useful bits of twine collection, however I am wishing that I had kept a hold of her zapped out zip collection because that is just what you are going to need to today to create these edgy, flower corsages or hair barrettes.


Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work!

As far as I'm concerned you can never have enough throw pillows. At least I can't. If you're like me then you'll want to check out Kelly Orbine's tutorial for quick and easy throw pillows from a bedsheet.

We aren't going to do any measuring. Or pinning.  Or serging.

How To Make Easy Paint Chip Wall Art and How To Make Boxes From Paint Swatches Free Tutorials by Jessica Jones

If you love crafting with paint chips you'll be happy to know that Jessica Jones has two wonderful tutorials showing you how to make Easy Paint Chip Art and how to make Boxes From Paint Chip Swatches.  Enjoy!

Copyright © 2011- All Rights Reserved - Written By  Jessica Jones of Jessica Jones.

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial:  If your apartment needs some decorating, you can't draw, and you're broke, consider chopping up paint chips. (Yep, I'm still on the paint chip kick.) These are Glidden swatches from Home Depot made into a simple triangle pattern. I put it inside a mat and frame I already had, and it looks fairly respectable. Put anything inside a mat and frame and it will look respectable. Heck, you could frame a crumpled-up Kleenex and somebody will assume it's a very special piece of modern art.

Here's what Jessica had to say about her tutorial:  If you've got paint chips sitting around begging to be made into something, try folding them into boxes for paperclips, thumbtacks, party favor candies, or tiny gifts. I made these from Behr swatches, available at Home Depot.

Upcycled Baby Clothing Creature by Alisa Burke of Alisa Burke

I just LOVE softies especially ones that can evoke sentimental memories. If you love to recycle and love creating sentimental memories from your children's clothing then you'll love Alisa Burke's Upcycled Baby Clothing Creatures tutorial. Turn your kids clothing into sentimental softies. What a great idea!

Copyright © 2012 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Alisa Burke of Alisa Burke

Here's what Alisa had to say about her tutorial: Our baby is growing like a weed and that means lots of clothing doesn't fit anymore! And while we haven't invested very much money in her wardrobe (thank goodness!), we still have some cute things that already hold lots of memories and I can't bear to get rid of. So I have been saving my favorite outfits to cut up and create a whole bunch of abstract and whimsical little creatures to keep in Lucy's room for future play time and to display as little mementos of her early years. As she continues to grow out of more clothing, I will keep adding more creature to the collection!

Cereal Box Booklets Free Tutorial by Sue Bleiweiss

I just love mixed media creations and admire all the mixed media fiber artists on the web. Sue Bleiweiss is one of the mixed media fiber artists that I so admire and I have marveled at her creations for a few years now. She teaches mixed media fiber arts online and has written many, many free articles and tutorials for her Sue Bleiweisswebsite and her Sue Bleiweiss blog.

I thought you'd be happy to know that Sue has a wonderful tutorial on her blog showing you how to make a cereal box booklet. If you recycle this is a great way to use cereal boxes.


Cereal Box Booklets
Copyright © 2008-2011- All Rights Reserved - Written By Sue Bleiweiss


Here's what Sue had to say about her cereal box booklets: Like most households we have recycle bins for paper and plastic and make it a point to toss in whatever we can to reduce the amount of waste that goes into the trash bin. I noticed recently that there was a pretty big pile of cereal and cracker boxes along with brown paper bags building up in the bin and so I pulled a few out and decided to bring them into the studio to see if I could turn them into something.

Use a light weight cereal, cracker or snack box for these booklets. You want to choose a box that has been made with cardboard that bends easily. Heavier cardboard boxes won’t work very well for this project.


Please respect Sue's Terms of Use: For personal use only. Please feel free to make as many as you like for gifts, swaps and donations, however; at this time I cannot provide licensing for readers to sell items made from the patterns provided on my website.

Copyright © 2009 - All Rights Reserved - Written By Andrea Millington of Indigo Blue blog.

Here's what Andrea had to say about her tutorial:  Sophie is six and a half years old and already has long legs for her age. So she grows out of her jeans before they have hardly been worn. Girls jeans are so nice with lots of embroidery, beads sequin etc I wish that they made them this nice for us 'big girls'. Sophie hates to get rid of them because of all this sparkly loveliness so we alter them.

Here's what Andrea had to say about her tutorial:  Barb at I Wanna New Bag has set up a new challenge that some of you may be interested in taking part in. Every month or so she sets a challenge with a theme for recycling items into other products. The theme for this month is to use something a bit out of the ordinary. Not sure what that might be? Well take a look at my entry, YES! I have actually got organised ahead of schedule this time....



Copyright © 2008 - All Rights Reserved - Written By Andrea Millington of Indigo Blue blog.

Here's what Andrea had to say about her tutorial:   For months I have been trying to meet the challenges set by I Wanna New Bag and failed miserably!  Yesterday I decided to throw caution to the wind and do this....  Take one rather unwanted plastic multi-pocket organiser and cut it with a pair of scissors to make a bag and a wallet. I did not actually measure it, but I went with wherever the pockets started or finished.

Turn Old Jeans Into A Skirt Free Tutorial By Cathy Jackson of Hazelruthe's Blog

I'm a baby boomer and a product of the "hippie" generation and basically live in my jeans.  Well, when I was a teenager turning old jeans into a mini denim jeans skirt was all the rage.  Of course, I created a few "mini's" of my own way back then, but had long forgotten how to do so.  So, I was pleased to see  that Cathy of Hazelruthe's blog had a wonderful tutorial showing you how to turn old jeans into a skirt.  Have fun making your own "mini's!"


Copyright © 2009 - Written By Cathy Jackson of Hazelruthe's Blog

Here's what Cathy had to say about her tutorial:  This past weekend I turned a pair of jeans into a skirt for my 10 year old daughter for school. Now this is by no means a new idea or even my own idea. It's been around for years, but it's still new to a lot of people, so I thought I'd put together a little tutorial on one way to make a pair of old jeans into an almost new skirt.
