Tailor a Shirt in 15 Minutes






     Surprisingly, this was one of the easiest sewing projects I've ever attempted!


Supplies:
- Sewing machine
- Black thread
- Scissors
- Sewing chalk 


     First, figure out how much you need to take in. I ended up taking in half an inch from both sides. Turn you shirt inside out and mark along the edges how much needs to be taken in.

Tri-Fold Birthday Card

     We have a fairly large family so when it comes to birthdays, we always have difficulty finding a card with ample room for all of us to write a birthday note. Recently, I came across a great idea for a large card.
Introducing: the tri-fold card!


Supplies:
- 1 sheet of thick, patterned paper
- 1 sheet of construction paper, the color of your choice
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Decorative edge scissors
- X-acto knife (or in my case, box cutters)
- Calligraphy pen


     First, cut your sheet of patterned paper in half.

Supplies:
- Turtleneck sweater 
- Thread-picker
- Pins
- Sewing machine
- Sewing chalk (optional)
