How to Sew Book Sleeves in 3 Sizes
If you’re a reader or have a bookworm in your life, you will understand the need for today’s tutorial! Reading is a big part of my life, and since I’m also in the taxi mom phase of parenting, I take books with me everywhere I go. I almost always have a book in the car or tossed into my tote bag, and this is obviously no way to preserve the covers and pages of said books.
How to Lower a Waistband
If you’re a short waisted gal like me, then boy, do I have the tutorial for you today! While I like the look of all the current high waisted trends on other people, being short waisted, those clothes can look rather ridiculous on me. In fact, most mid rise fit like high rise on me!
Because of this, I struggle to find pants that are the right rise for me right now. I recently bought some pajama pants, though, that were high rise, but that I knew I could alter to fit me how I like them. I created a video tutorial to show you how to do it too!
DIY Cottage Core Hair Bows
My teen daughters are into cottage core style hair accessories lately and asked if I could copy a few that we’ve seen. One of those were some pretty, velvet bows we spotted at Target the other day. They were larger hair bows with long tails and so cute! But at $14 a piece, we knew we could DIY them for a fraction of the cost.
Sure enough, after spending just $2.50 for each spool of velvet ribbon and the same for a bag of hair clips, we have the cutest set of velvet hair bows! And I’m going to teach you how, so you can have some too :)
