Star Wars Apron...

After making my first ever apron, for the Crafty Cooks Apron Swap, I decided it was time I made Mr TMW an apron. As he does 99.9% of the cooking, I thought it was only fair.

Ten Dress Up Costume Tutorials...

A dress up box is an essential part of growing up. No matter how simple or elaborate the contents, they are a great way to foster creative thinking, to encourage imaginative play and to enable kids to have fun.

Today I am showcasing Ten Dress Up Costume Tutorials that have been added to the Pretend Dress Up Clothes link party here at Threading My Way...

T-Shirt Dress...

This is the latests dress I've made for Dress A Girl Around the World... a simple t-shirt dress.

All Day Skirt...

In my Stash Busting post, I showed you some of my favourite fabrics and how I was going to use them.  Here's the first one made up into the All Day Skirt by Lily Bird Studio.

Pirate Accessories...

Every well dressed pirate needs an eye patch and a bandanna. You can make both of these accessories for a couple of little pirates in less than an hour, from start to finish.

Stash Busting...

In case you missed it last month, here's a guest post I wrote as part of the Stash-Busting Series over at Feather's Flights...

I've been reading Feather's Flights, ever since I came across Heather's Baby Shortall tutorial, so  I was very pleased when Heather asked if I'd like to contribute to her Stash-Busting Series.

I buy fabric because I like it, not necessarily because I have a project in mind. Consequently, I have a rather large fabric stash.

This is just a small portion of my stash. There's two more sections to the IKEA bookcase. Not all shelves contain fabric, but a fair proportion of them do.

How to add a button to your blog...

Can you remember when you were new to blogging and it was all a bit overwhelming? I certainly can!!! I remember when I first tried to add someone's grab button to my blog. I tried following a few tutorials, but nothing worked. I was missing something, but what?

Yeah, I know... it's easy as. Why couldn't I add it? I absolutely, positively didn't want to ask Mr TMW, but in the end I did. I look back now and wonder why I couldn't solve the problem straight away myself. I was almost there and missing such a tiny thing. 

If you are new to blogging and would like to add someone else's button to your blog, this tutorial will show you how. These instructions are for Blogger blogs.
