Tutorial: DIY hair extensions

by

Debbie from Squiggly Twigs Designs put her sewing skills to unusual use when she figured out how to make her own hair extensions.  Yes, sew your own.  I had no idea that you could this without specialized equipment, but it turns out that  you can make them on your sewing machine.  How cool is that???  Get the tutorial to find out how to do it.

And Debbie is celebrating Valentine’s with a Share The Love contest.  Post a photo to the Squiggly Twigs Flickr pool that shows a garment you’ve made with Squiggly Twigs patterns or tutorials, and you’re entered to win a new pattern from her shop.  Deadline is midnight ET on February 14, 20011.  Get the details at Squiggly Twigs Designs.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
