Make a throw pillow cover from an old sweater

I admit it, I'm a 'Pinhead'. I am Pinterest obsessed. A friend of mine made me sign up for Pinterest when I got engaged last year. It was much simpler than saving many pictures to my computer as I had been previously. Once I discovered the DIY/CRAFT category... whoa baby it was ON! I love browsing through the app for things to make! Therefore, whenever I get inspiration or ideas from another site, I will give credit where credit is due.
I have not in the past taken pictures as I am making something, but I will try to change that as well. For me, I prefer images of the different stages when making something, instead of just written instructions. In the coming weeks I hope to upload many of my previous crafts with as much instruction as I can add. Going forward, I'll take more pictures!

For craft upload number 1:
I had some throw pillows I had been wanting to recover, but hadn't made it to the store to buy any material. I saw how to make a cover from an old sweater on Pinterest and thought 'well I can do that"! I am a beginner at sewing. I've sewn buttons back on, and fixed tiny holes, but that's about it. For a lazy Sunday I hand sewed together the pillow cover and 3 wine cozies. That shows you how simple it is! If I had a sewing machine, the stitching would probably look better.

I found instructions at this site: http://www.brassyapple.com/2011/01/diy-sweater-pillows-cozy-up.html

DIY costume - Tinkerbell

Just the thought of dressing up as Tinkerbell makes you feel delicate and petite! Most of the accessories this time are from Amazon, with dresses from Shein. If you already have blonde hair, then you can always buy a bun hairpiece to make a larger bun, or just put your hair in a bun if you have thick hair! Oh and use my code at Shein for 10% off your order! This first dress definitely has Tinkerbell vibes!

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers. Oh and use my code at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes 2-12. This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress Mary Jane Ballet Flats Large Flower hair clips Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats. Off Shoulder Ruffle Dress Lavender Flats 2nd Option mini flower hair clips Large Flower hair clips Halloween costumes always have a short sexy option, right? A short tulle flor

90s Style Categories

Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s. I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
