Ever catch your child running around in a way too tight shirt that you know they dug out of the “too small” bin in the basement? They promptly tell you that the shirt fits just fine even though their belly is sticking out, and they can bearly fit their arms into the sleeves. You know those favorite shirts that they just can’t seem to get enough of! Here is a way that I have discovered to make those favorite shirts last just a little bit longer. Instead of packing them away or donating the kid’s favorite outgrown clothes I love to make them into little pillows...

Homemade Christmas Decor – Burlap Pillows

Posted by Kim Bond on Dec 7, 2012 in Do It Yourself, Holiday, Home Decor, Sew It | 0 comments

Last week I shared with you the first three out of four DIY Christmas projects that I have been working on that involve burlap. Something about the simple natural texture of burlap, makes me want to create everything that I can with it. With my leftover yard or so of burlap I created three very simple, but pretty decorative pillows to add to our Christmas decor. Burlap, stuffing, thread and a sewing machine were all I needed to make these pillows, but some red craft paint and a stencil of the words Peace, Love, and Joy transformed them into a special addition to our home for the...

This year’s Halloween costumes are done, and my little ones are sporting some cute new DIY costumes. I dislike the thought of spending ton’s of money on cheaply made Halloween costumes, so I always like to make my own. This year Princess Toadstool and Toad from Super Mario were the final choice, and the kid’s play the part just right. For about $25.00 total I was able to create two totally unique and adorable costumes. So first of all, I’m happy to finally have their costumes done…and judging by the pictures I got, so are the kids. Last year’s DIY...

Repurposed Tank Top To Ruffled Pillows

Ever go through your closet and keep things because you like them, knowing full well you will never wear them again? Such was the case with a ruffled white tank top in my closet, and after a couple years of saving it for no reason I decided that if I liked it so much, why not make it into something I would really use and enjoy on a daily basis. Out came a matching pair of white ruffled pillows. So as I mentioned I had this ruffled white tank top that I bought a few years back to wear under a suit coat for a formal occasion. It was made of a pretty white ruffled fabric and contained...
