AWSOME SATURDAY, THANK GOD FOR THOSE. HEY I WAS WONDERING I WROTE A BLOGG WITH YOUR NAME MENTIONED BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT JUST THE (CAKIES)WORD IN BLUE AND THEY CAN LINK INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE ADDRESS? MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME..THXS..THE CAKIE I ORDERED WENT TO A GOURGEOUS BLUE EYED GIRLY WHOM LOVES IT. THE POST IS CAKIES AND FRIENDS.. THXS
The fabric was a piece of a vintage tablecloth that I got at my most recent flea market excursion. Thanks everyone, it was so fun and simple to make. Plus, every girl needs a Saturday skirt… and Sunday, and Monday, and well you get the point!
How perfect!!!! My grandma used to stitch tablecloths like this and when I saw it, it seemed vaguely familiar. Then I read that you did use a tablecloth!!! I love that you turn one piece of “art” into another “art”. She is so cute in it!!!
I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
Â
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.Â
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.Â
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
That is so sweet! I just tried making one this weekend too! Your’s is much better though!
