You can transform pinecones, twigs, acorns, and dried flowers into stunning decorations. If you want to make a larger pouch then simply extend the length and width of your pattern. If you extend the width then make sure to use a longer zip. So, for example, if you make a pouch 15″ wide then make sure to use a zipper that is 15″ or bigger. You can shorten a zipper but you can’t make it longer lol!

Miniature frames can be adorned with festive accents like ribbons, bows, or small ornaments, creating a heartwarming addition to your tree.

My dress was originally from a brand called Closet London, I used to love their dresses but I haven’t found any recently that catch my eye. I wanted to give my dress a new lease on life and enjoy it once again. I attempted an elastic waist skirt. You can see in the video how I made the skirt. This is one of the easiest ways to make a skirt. Just take your time when measuring and you can’t go wrong. Use your iron to create a hem on the raw edges of the fabric. Before topstitching, fold the side panels of the material to create a sleeve, use pins to secure it in place. Pop the notebook inside to make sure it fits before topstitching. Pin before stitching your DIY fabric notebook cover All of the details on how to make these pouches is within the video, which I have below. I am going to leave the measurements below for the three pouches. Also, take your time when cutting your fabric as cutting is just as important as your machine work. You can also trim as you go and I always recommend using your iron to get that polished finish. Depending on the brand of paint you are using, you may have to prime. For example, if using Colourtrend or Farrow and Ball, I recommend using their primer ranges to get the best adhesion.

Whether it’s felt, scraps of old clothing, or charming holiday-themed prints, fabric ornaments can be tailored to match your unique style. Using a spray gun will save you time and paint when painting the playhouse base inside and out. You do not need to water down the paint with this spray gun.The Versante Matt range has a built-in primerand is also self-sealing, so no need to wax or varnish after applying. It does have a matt feel, so if you are not a fan of the matt feel, you could try the eggshell paint. However, you will have to use a primer with the eggshell range. Christmas is a time of joy, warmth, and special traditions. One of the most beloved traditions (and one of my favourites) is decorating the Christmas tree!
