Spice up an Old Sweater

I have a few sweaters that I just don't wear anymore, they are kinda boring and need a little spice. I took a tan one I got from target years ago and thought it would be fun to use some scrap fabric and make fun elbow patches.

This is the tutorial on how to spice up an old sweater with elbow patches

1. All the supplies you will need

~Sewing Machine or Needle & Thread

~Scissors

~Fabric Glue

~Sharpie or Fabric Pen

~Something Oval to trace on the fabric

~Fabric

~Sweater

2. Mark your elbows

~You will want to put on the sweater and make sure it feels comfortable (no twists in the arms, etc) Then you will bend your elbow to the front and mark the tip of your elbow with your Sharpie or fabric pen

3. Trace & Cut Fabric

~Take the object you are going to use for the oval shape and pick what part of the fabric you want to be your elbow patch. (I used one of my Creative Memories cutting system shapes and traced on the back side of the fabric) Now you are going to trace your oval with your Sharpie or fabric pen.

~After tracing the ovals, take the scissors and cut them out

4. Placing your Patches

~ Take your sweater and lay it out.  Now you will take your cut out ovals and place them on your sweater that is laid out flat on the table. Make sure the marks you made are in the middle of the oval.

5. Tac your Patch

~Take your fabric glue and place small amounts of glue in 4 spots or as many spots as you think your patch needs to be held in place. 

Let dry for 10-15 min. Using the fabric glue helps keep the patch in place when you are sewing the patch to your sweater.

6. Sew 

~Now get your sewing machine plugged in and set up to sew. I put my settings on zig zag and used brown thread. (you can also hand stitch your zig zags...your preference)

Finished Product!

Fun & Easy Way to Cover up Soiled Area on Garment

This is my first tutorial EVER on any blog. I'm going to apologize in advance if it's confusing or if I don't have enough pictures or explanation. 

During the Christmas season I had my daughter help me with some crafts and it involved painting. Well the paints weren't washable and I didn't have an apron for her to wear. Needless to say she got paint on her shirt....surprise surprise for a 2 year old LOL ;)

I really like the shirt that she was wearing, so today I decided to make my own applique out of scrap fabric to cover up the paint spots. 

Here is what I am working with:

Here are the supplies I used and you will need to cover up any craft issues on clothing:

-Scissors

-Fabric glue

-Needle

-Thread

-Sharpie or Fabric Pen

-Fabric

-Cookie Cutters

1. Iron and fabric

My scrap fabric was kind wrinkled so I needed to iron it....you might not need to. 

2. Lay out your ironed fabric, take your cookie cutters, pick the area of the fabric you want to make an applique out of and trace the shape of the cookie cutter onto the fabric with either a sharpie or a fabric pen. 

3. After you finish tracing your shapes (I needed to do two different shapes), take your scissors and cut out you appliques.

4. Now place your appliques on the soiled area on the garment.

5. Take your fabric glue and lift the corners of your fabric and put a small amount on your garment. Then gently press your applique down. Repeat this as many times as you need around the applique. This will help to keep the applique in place when you are trying to stitch it on.

6. After letting the fabric glue dry for 10 to 15 min, take your needle and thread and start hand stitching your applique onto your garment. 

Once you have finished stitching, track down your little angel and have them model your creation!!! You'll feel so much better that that cute piece is now wearable again! 

I've Missed You Ladies!!!

For years after our High School graduation my friends and I would have a girls Christmas gift exchange party. That ended quit a few years ago, since most of us moved away or were off with our new families celebrating the cheer. This year was a very pleasant surprise when Jennifer Harman (White) came into town from SC with her husband and new baby girl Hadley. She coordinated a small get together of the girls that could come on the 23rd of December. 

Seth, Kadance and I went, brought some treats and enjoyed the company of most of our old friends and their new families! 

Those past years of our Christmas parties we would do an annual picture and this we couldn't leave with out one. All the girls gathered around while the husbands took the pictures. It was a very comical time...considering every wife was telling their husbands if the flash was going off or "hello, you are holding the camera to hi", "John what are you taking a picture off" Lol it was good times.

During the month of Christmas, I was blessed to get orders for my infinity scarves! I was very busy making the scarves, filling bow orders, baking cookies and getting our Christmas shopping done. Kadance was a big help with it all!!! 

Below I have shared a few of the scarves that I made! 

(Sorry for that I was the model, Seth wouldn't let me take his picture with a girly scarf on ;) lol)
