Tutorial: Beaded chiffon color block skirt

June 17, 2013 by Anne Weaver

This color blocked skirt that Portia from Miss P made is pure gorgeousness! The pieced panels of beaded chiffon with panels of solid fabric. The result is a skirt that dress but modern, sleek but detailed. The beaded fabric came from a rather dated fancy dress. She shares a tutorial showing how she was able to cut the beaded chiffon into panels without losing the beads, and then how she sewed it into a skirt. The tutorial is part of her series, The Refashioners. Go to Miss P for the tute.

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
