  Studded Shoulder Top tutorial I love love love basics. Maybe it's because they're so easy to customize, or maybe because I know they'll match with everything. Either way, I like my basics to be well made and comfy. If you're the same way, check out Bella - I love the aesthetics of this brand. Their clothing is simple but sexy, providing the perfect base for making it completely your own.  I was given the chance to DIY some of my favorite pieces from Bella's line, and

  Sewing patterns Denim and pearls, denim and lace, denim and eyelet, they just seem to go together. Especially when you find the adorable Old Navy eyelet shirt at the thrift store for $2.00… and the skirt at Wal-mart on sale for $2.00.  Throw in some eyelet fabric you already have in your stash and you have yourself a new outfit for less than $5.00! I told you I am having too much fun with this challenge.  It is so fun to see what you

  Pants-to-Flouncy Skirt! Dear pants: Why be pants, when you could be a skirt?? A very sweet lady at church gave me these pants a few days ago thinking maybe I could make something out of them. (I love it when that happens!!) They were what I like to call a "mature" style, very loose-fitting, and high-waisted. Not to mention about 4" too short for my legs! (flattering, no?) But I rescued them, and turned them into a frilly, feminine skirt! My favorite!! I especially love it peeking

  Shirt to Nursing Shirt Refashions  Sewing patterns  There are tons of styles of nursing shirts out there, and while I think some of them are super cute, I usually just do ok with pulling my regular shirts up.  It is nice to have a few nursing shirts though, especially when you have to nurse in public, because the last thing you want after having a baby is for people to see your belly hanging out while nursing, right?! The concept I used for

    Our love of  Minnatonka moccasins and obsession with Balenciaga‘s Fall 2010 shoes made this DIY we created for Foam Magazine a no brainer.  With just a tube of Tulip Soft Fabric Paint, a pair of paintbrushes (one thin and one thick) and a pair of suede moccasins, you’ll be ready to make your own color block shoes. (Tulip Soft Fabric Paint is best paint to use, as it is highly opaque, flexible once it dries and great for suede.) Refashion

  Sewing patterns Refashion a Man's Shirt to a Woman's Shirt Tutorial Some may recognize the following tutorial from the archives of this blog, but it has never really been "posted" here because I imported it from my personal blog last year before the Home Sweet Homebodies blog became public.  Also, it was shared as a web album, and I thought this was a better way to share at this point.  So here it is again!
