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 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.

How to turn an in wall ironing board into shelving

My bedroom has had an in wall ironing board since I got this house. I hated it. It is directly behind the bedroom door so if you take the board out, noone can get in or out of the room. My husband irons his work shirts in the morning, but never used that board. We have a full sized ironing board by the laundry room. If he used the wall board I would have burn marks from running into a hot iron while trying to do my makeup. It's frustrated me that it was just wasted space. It's right next to our dresser and a convenient place to store makeup and hair products. I asked my hubby for shelving to clear up space on the dresser. To remove the board, he removed the screws from the bar then pulled the bar out of the wall. He used wood filler to patch the holes from the bar. In retrospect he wishes he'd just sawed the bar off instead. He painted the inside and cut shelves to fit. For the background we used scrapbook paper. I was not willi...
