It literally took me 5 minutes to make this vest. I have had the leopard print scarf for about a year. I bought two of them, at Target, for the grand total of $5.76, (they were $2.88 a piece) How can you pass up a deal like that?
I have had many ideas for them but never made a true commitment to change them permanently until now.. I did a no sew sweater vest about 2 weeks ago Click HERE to view, which gave me the idea for this.
Super Easy, I promise..
and it is great for those ~not feeling too skinny days..
Tutorial
Things You Need
1. Scarf (the dimensions of this one are around 35 inches x 35inches)a larger scarf would work well too. (48 inches by 48inches)
2. Scissors
3. Dinner plate
4. Chalk or a Washable Pin
Fold your scarf in half
Find the middle
and then cut a circle closer to the top
I used a dinner plate, traced it with chalk and then cut out the circle.
This week I have a pretty Special Re-Style to share with all of you. I received this Beautiful sweater piece from Judy. She has a wonderful blog called Just Another Day on Earth. She was so sweet and offered me this Beautiful Sweater Scarf( that she made) and wanted me to Re-Style it.. and because I so love a challenge, I happily said yes. I LOVE the way it turned out. I think this is going to be a wonderful addition to my Fall/Winter wardrobe..
Judy, I cannot thank you enough for trusting me with one of your pieces.
So here is the Re-Style,
I hope you like it..
This is where I got my inspiration from.

Tutorial
Things You Need
1. A scarf or piece of sweater ( this one measured 122 x 22)
it doesn't have to be that long, But It needs to be longer than wider.
2.Sewing machine
3. Scissors
4. Large safety pins
1. Fold you scarf in half.(Right sides together)
2.Measure how wide you want the neck.( mine measured 17 inches (but that can very on what you want.)
3.Sew the two pieces together starting at the 17 inch mark and sew 20 inches, then skip 3 inches,( for your hand) then sew another 6 inches. leaving the last couple of inches open.
I went back over the stitching twice, just to reinforce my stitches
4. NOW Try your piece on and if it all seems to fit fine, turn right side out.
5. Put your piece back on Then mark with chalk where you want the side seam to be. Make it a little on the lose side because you want it as an outer piece. I pinned mine with safety pins then tried on, to get the right fit, before sewing.. ( this took me about 3 tries.)
Once you have it exactly how you want it sew the side seam where you made your marks.
and that is it..
My Beautiful niece A is down visiting and she was so awesome to let me take pictures of her.

The great part is, (yay!!,) someone is about to win the My Memories Suite Software. I just love giving away free stuff.

Happy Friday to you all.
What a week .. A lot of wonderful changes have been occurring in my life lately.
One of them is the public interest in some of my jewelry. Because of this, I have been thinking about selling some of the pieces I have created. The funny thing is, right after I decided to actually sell some of the things that I have created, several orders came in, and I am NOW working on my very own line..WOW!!
I am hoping to have some of my pieces available, to buy, online in the next month or so.
Lately, I have been asked to review some products and then endorse them on my blog. Some of them I have to say no to, because if the product is not something I would use or think is fantastic I will not endorse it, EVEN if they offer it to me for free. When My Memories contacted me to try their software and then give away a free copy of My Memories Suiteon my site, I did like I do with all the others, I researched it, read reviews, and looked it over with a fine tooth comb. I must say that this is some of the coolest digital scrapbook software I have ever tried. The amazing thing about the My Memories Suite
is that you download the software and use it to create scrapbook
layouts, photo books, cards, videos, calendars, scrapbooks with music, you name it! There are tons of
options. And it's a great alternative to needing Photoshop or Photoshop
Elements. Thescrapbook softwarewas easy to install and use. It comes with pre-made templates, paper,
embellishments, text options, all at the click of a button. And if you
want more, there are links to more kits on their site, accessed directly
from the software itself! When I wanted to buy a set of really fun paper
designs, I just clicked the link, purchased a VERY reasonably priced
kit, and it installed right into the software! An extra bonus with My Memories,
is that you can also download any digital files and use them with
Photoshop, or the like. It's all so flexible, and super easy to use. I
really liked that I could create layouts in My Memories Suite, save it,
and then finish it up with some of my own elements from my personal
Photoshop stash.
I am not the most computer savvy person. Although I can figure most things out, what I really like is that this software is quick and easy. My time to me is very valuable, I don't have a lot of time to spend figuring things out. I am sure all of you feel that very same way. There are also some great Videos about My Memories on You Tube that can help you with any problem. I've seen lots of digital scrap-booking software,
but this really is a simple and all-inclusive way to go. Especially if
you are new to the digital world, or are feeling lost. This brings it
all to you in one cohesive product:

I was searching for a way to use
this scrap piece of T-Shirt I had left over from another project and I
came up with this cute no sew vest.
Welcome Everyone, to My Project Re-Style day.
Can you believe, that after today, I will only have 15 more Re-Style projects left to do, for my year of Re-Styling..?
It
went by so very quick and... I am thinking about keeping my Re-Style
Monday as a permanent fixture on my blog. I guess we will have to see
when my 52 Re-Styles are completed.
Do any of you have shirts or pieces of shirts you just can't throw away. Well I do, lot's of them..
I did a quick search on the internet and found this cute no sew vest on Cut out and Keep.
I did do mine slightly different.
I think, with all the layering that is in style right now, this would make a great piece,
and it cost me nothing.. Well.... it cost me about 3 dollars for the original shirt.
I just love quick, no sew projects, that anyone can do..
Tutorial
Things you need
