  • Scrap Skirt

    I always love to DIY on the weekends! Today I made this super easy scrap skirt that doesn’t require a sewing machine. Even if your not crafty, this is an easy one!

    I got all my supplies at Joann Fabric

    First measure the waist to see where to trim the elastic

    I put a quick stitch to hold the ends together

    Next cut all the fabric into 1” strips the tulle I just cut the same length as the fabric strips
    Tie the first strip over the spot where the ends meet
    Add more colors and create your pattern
    Continue the pattern until you fill the skirt
    Ready for the pumpkin patch
  • Halloween Sweatshirt

    Halloween Sweatshirt

    I’m obsessed with the Hanes comfort color sweatshirts! (Linked here) I get them in a size Medium and it gives a nice over sized look.

    This morning while cleaning I got bleach on my newest color! So I decided to fix it with more bleach and Orange dye to make a Halloween Sweatshirt. Supplies I used were Rit Dye in Sunshine Orange, Bleach, and rubber bands that’s it! The whole process took me about an hour, and then another 40 minutes to wash and dry. I love how it turned out, and I’m calling it a happy accident!

    I made little clumps that I twisted and banded where I wanted the bleach to go. Elastic those together into a big square sort of.

    Normally I would use the cling gel bleach but I wanted it all to blend and since I spilled this one on me I decided to stick with it. Make sure to cut it 1/2 water 1/2 bleach. I started to see an immediate reaction and within 15 minutes it was done!

    After adding the dye I let it sit for 30 minutes and this is how it looked. I love the vibrant color, but of course it fades a little when you rinse. Rinse until the water runs clear then un band. I popped it into the washer for a quick wash no soap then into the dryer. This is the results!! Of course I can still see the original bleach spot haha but it’s a little camouflage now. Let me know if you try this!!
