Project Re-Style #38 Recycled Pearls

I was in a bit of a quandary this week about my Re-Style project.  I think every spare minute I have had, has been going toward finishing an order for a client.  My salvation came when   I was sitting at the table last night with my daughter and she asked what I was going to do today.  I replied " I have a Re-Style I have to do, but I have done nothing for it.:("  She then responded with"MOM! You have been Re-Styling all week. The bracelets you are making are from a broken bracelet, that your client gave you, is a  re-style."  I looked at her dumbfounded and said "Oh yeah!, I guess that will be my Re-Style." So here is  a peek at two of the bracelets I made for her.  I made a total of 5 different bracelets, out of one broken freshwater pearl bracelet.

I am cheating a little by linking you to a video I found on how to do this.

Plus there is a link to silk wrapping video, as well, I used both of these.

Click  on the text below for the instructions I followed

HERE for Part 2 .

I made two  bracelets, one single and one double wrapped.
I also added the charms she had, that came from the bracelet that broke.

A Round Tuit

5 Minute Draped Vest

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.

That is it. 

I told you super easy and quick..

I just LOVE <3, 5 minute Fridays..

Have a Spectacular  Day!!

Project Re-Style #37 Sweater Scarf turned into Poncho

It is that time again, Re-Style Monday.  

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.

Thanks A,

I love you!!

 I even talked H into posing.

Love you too H!!
Thank you so much  Judy!!
