New Year's resolution

There is only couple days left of this year so it is the time to look back, or rather forward with some resolutions. I usually don't make resolutions, not the usual "this year I will clean more" or "I will seriously start jogging and keep it up the whole year". I think we all know how those usually end... At least I have never been good at keeping them and don't know anyone who has. If you know, please tell me too. :D

 

I also like to look forward rather than back. Of course sometimes it is good to take a look back and see what we can learn, else it's useless. And as I'm writing it here, the resolution has everything to do with blogging. My blog is new, it isn't even a full year old so year 2016 has all been learning new and still is. Looking forward is pretty much the thing with this blog.
 
So what's the resolution then? Definitely it isn't "I will blog on regular bases, at least twice a week on certain days, post new tutorial every week and patterns every other week, take amazing photos and write long posts with SEO in mind". Would be enough to drive anyone running a diy blog crazy.

My new year's resolution is to go back to basics - to where everything started. I started this blog to have fun, to show what I have made, to meet and connect other bloggers, to share tips how to re-use old textiles.

Yes, forget the numbers. This is what it means:

• Google analytics: I have had it set up from day 1, I wanted to know if anyone reads this blog and of course how the numbers would grow. I used to check it daily. Especially when I had done something to boost the numbers. How about forget it? Let it be, check every now and then and that's it. Much more room to breath when you can focus on writing the blog instead of the page views. I'm pretty sure the numbers will grow if you are good at what you are doing and if you are having fun with doing it.

• Pinterest: If you are serious blogger and want to get as many hits from Pinterest as possible you pin daily, you pin day and night because people might be browsing on different time zones or just different time of the day. As serious blogger you are there visible all the time, else you are invisible. I think that sounds familiar to anyone who has been looking for getting more page views for their blog. But seriously, who has the time and energy to browse Pinterest all the time? Even with some program to schedule your pins you still need to use time for browsing. Forget how many pins you have made, how many times a day you visit Pinterest. Just browse when you feel like it and pin when you find something worth of pinning. Use the remaining time to be with your family.

•  Blog posts: Again, we all have read at least one post about posting regularly, if possible as a new blogger once a day, if not, then at least every other day or, the very least, twice a week. Anything less and you won't be successful. Write a post of at least 2000 words, count your key words, make sure there is enough of them and they get the best scores in search results etc. How about make one good blog post instead of five mediocre, use normal language with good spelling, keeping in mind what you are writing about and to who you are writing to? Connect with other bloggers instead, forget the numbers, concentrate on quality!

When I started I read all those and much more and thought I should do that too if I'm to be taken as a real blogger. Not really because I would be monetizing this as soon as possible but because I usually want to make things properly. Quite soon it became obvious that those advises just won't work with a diy blog. You simply run out of time and energy sooner or later when you aren't using the time for the thing that drove you to start the blog - creating something new! Any other diy bloggers know what I'm talking about and that's really all that matters. I define myself as "real" blogger and that should be enough to anyone.

I have a long list of link up parties I would like to attend and I tried to attend all of them for a while but that just won't work. Some of them are on different time zone and even if I would attend them as soon as I open my eyes on the morning, I would be 400th something and would go quite unnoticed. I would never have time to browse through those 400-500 pics and find the ones I would like to comment. Just not worth of my time, I will keep the ones that are bit smaller and more fitting to my own schedule and even with those, only participate when I truly have something new to add and, the most important, when I'm absolutely sure that I will have time to go and comment other posts in that particular party. That's how I have met some great bloggers, I intend to keep it that way. Again, not the numbers, but the quality!

What is the shirt in the picture with my resolution? That's a shirt I made for my son for Christmas. My daughter had her preschool's Christmas festival and he needed new shirt. (Other options were to go as a knight or in a princess dress, I would have let him go in a princess dress but the world, or Finland, just isn't ready yet, not even if the boy in question is four years old and wants the dress because his biggest idol, his older sister, wears them and feels it is greatly unfair that he can't.) I had only one evening to make it and I knew I could make it if, and that's a very big IF, everything would go as planned. Do you know what? For once the moon was in the right position or the stars collided with each other in the right angle, I don't know, but everything did go as planned. The sewing machine was co-operative, I didn't make any stupid mistakes, no electricity black outs, nothing. I just made the shirt. That's what the blogging is at it's best; just focus on the making it, enjoy it and the result is just as planned!

Thank you for everyone who have been visiting my blog, saving my pins, liking my pictures in IG and Facebook and especially, commenting my blog posts! I have plenty of ideas and something ready that I will show to you when I have the time after the holidays. For now I wish you all happy, and more relaxed, New Year! Hope to see you next year too!

Three upcycled heart ornaments

One heart template - three different heart ornaments for Christmas, upcycled of course! These three ornaments are easy and fast to do, as well as easily modified. Using the same ideas you can make decorations for almost any occasion just by changing the template and the colours.

*This blog post is also part of an advent calendar by Finnish crafting blogs so the text will be in both languages.*

Tervetuloa Käsityöblogien joulukalenterin luukkuun nro 14! Tein kolme erilaista sydänkoristetta jouluksi käyttämällä kaikissa samaa sydänmuotoa. Nämä toki kierrätysmateriaalista. Näitä on helppo  ja nopea tehdä, ja ovatpa vielä helposti muokattavissakin. Samalla idealla saa ihan erilaisia koristeita kun vain vaihtaa kuviota ja värejä.

Best fabric for these is something that is a bit thicker, felt would be the best but I don't see any reason why you couldn't make these with denim or leather for example! Just as long as the fabric isn't elastic or very thin. I used old woolen jacket that I found from a recycling center. The jacket was from those days when the clothes were good quality and produced somewhere near. This jacket was actually made in Finland and the fabric was mainly wool, only few percents polyamid. Fabric was good, model was outdated, good for making some Christmas decorations!

Näihin koristeisiin sopii parhaiten kankaaksi jokin paksumpi, huopa on toki paras vaihtoehto, mutta käy muukin toki, esim. farkku tai nahka suorastaan erinomaisesti! Pääasia, että kangas ei ole kovin joustavaa tai ohutta. Minä käytin näihin kierrätyspisteestä löytämääni villaista jakkua. Jakku oli vanha, Suomessa valmistettu ja laadukkaan oloista kangasta. Malli oli kuitenkin jo vanha ja tuskin sille muutakaan käyttöä olisi ollut. Kangas oli suurimmaksi osaksi villaa, jokunen prosentti polyamidia.

For the first one you need three red hearts and 6 white hearts, lace or something similar. Pin lace on both sides of the red hearts. Sew in middle and when starting remember to leave long tails as those are used to hang the ornament. After sewing over the first heart, don't stop but continue sewing pulling the heart gently back, add the second heart, sew over and again on top of nothing for desired length and add the last one. Again, leave long tails. *Please note that if you are using new electric sewing machine, sewing without fabric isn't necessarily good idea. Use for example tearable paper instead. Old mechanic sewing machines should be fine.*

Ensimmäiseen koristeeseen tarvitset kolme punaista sydäntä ja 6 valkoista, pienempää sydäntä pitsistä tms. Neulaa valkoiset sydämet molemmin puolin punaisia sydämiä. Ompele suoraan keskeltä ylhäältä alas varmistaen, että takana oleva pitsisydän pysyy paikoillaan. Aloittaessasi varmista, että jätät aloituslangat pitkiksi, niitä voi käyttää koristeen ripustamiseen. Ommeltuasi ensimmäisen sydämen, älä lopeta vaan jatka ompelua tyhjän päällä vetäen ensimmäistä sydäntä varovasti, lisää toinen sydän, ompele taas tyhjän päällä halutun matkaa ja lisää viimeinen. Jätä lopuksi pitkät langat.
*Huom. Uusilla elektronisilla koneilla kannattaa olla varovainen tyhjän päällä ompelun kanssa. Käytä vaikka pois revittävää paperia alla. Vanhoilla mekaanisilla ei pitäisi olla ongelmaa.*

Fasten two beads after the last heart. Pull the needle through both and pull back only through the bigger one. Make a knot and pull again through the bigger one, cut the thread. First one ready!

Kiinnitä lopuksi kaksi helmeä, yksi isompi ja yksi pienempi. Pujota neula ensin molempien läpi, sitten takaisin ainoastaan isomman läpi. Tee solmu ja pujota jälleen isomman läpi, katkaise lanka. Ensimmäinen valmis!

For the second one you need four red hearts. Start by sewing together in the middle first two.

Toiseen tarvitset neljä sydäntä. Aloita ompelemalla kaksi yhteen keskeltä.

Fold the heart so that the stitches are hidden.

Taita sydän niin, että ommel jää piiloon.

Add two more hearts, one on top, one on the bottom. Sew in the middle.

Lisää kaksi sydäntä, toinen alle, toinen päälle. Ompele keskeltä.

Fasten the hanging thread.

Kiinnitä ripustusnaru.

For the last one you need two red hearts, one piece of filling and a ribbon. Sandwich the pieces together, leaving the ribbon between the layers.

Viimeiseen tarvitset kaksi punaista sydäntä ja palan täytettä sekä nauhan. Yhdistä kappaleet päällekkäin jättäen nauhan kerrosten väliin.

Sew around and you are done.

Ompele ympäriltä ja olet valmis!

Outdoor Christmas decoration

I combined two days for 12 days of Christmas DIY challenges. Day #5 was to make something you find from your shed and day #7 was to use something from your garden.

First something from the shed:

Plastic flower pot from the summer and piece of chicken wire. 

Cut the wire to desired size, preferably something a bit bigger than the pot.

Fold the wire so that it fits inside the pot. It is supposed to stand in the pot and come close to the top edge of the pot. I left couple centimetres from the the top edge.

Then something from the garden:

Different twigs and some cones. If you are working with the twigs inside, be fast especially if the temparature is low outside. If the twigs are frozen and they melt, they will drop all they needles much faster than if they stay cold through the process.

Start adding the twigs and cones to the pot, add the cones and you are done!

Superfast to make, you can use any pot you happen to find and make easily many different variations. And if you like, you can add some decorations too. I just happen to like "plain" style. 

Maybe I will add some outdoor lights on it before hanging it to our front door though. Otherwise no one will be seeing it much as we have sunshine only about 7 hours at this moment and it keeps getting darker for a while.

Good thing I saved the hanging flower pot, now I have my own hanging outdoor Christmas decoration!

Gift bags out of fabric scraps

Have you ever thought of making gift wrapping out of fabric instead of the paper? I hadn't so the challenge #6 in #12DaysofChristmasDIYChallenges was very welcome! I have fabric more than enough, plenty of material to use!

The challenge is set up by the following bloggers:

Jill @ Creating my way to Success
Vicky @ Vicky Myers Creations
Anna @ Tea and a Sewing Machine
Pam @ Threading My Way
Anne @ Domesblissity

I like to use gift bags when wrapping the presents, especially for grown up gifts. The shape of the present doesn't matter, just find suitable gift bag and you are done. Also, they are re-usable unlike the gift paper. The only person I know who has saved the gift papers was my grandma. She collected all the bigger pieces on Christmas eves and took them to the attic. I don't remember if she used them later on though. Anyway, I keep all the gift bags that come to our household, I have a nice pile of them and I don't remember when I last time actually bought a gift bag!

Of course they aren't always suitable so I have made some gift bags out of gift paper too and I also have couple rolls of tapestry (for the doll house but it might not need all of it...) that I have used. For example I made one for the baby gifts recently.

It is only natural that my answer to this challenge is gift bags out of scrap fabrics!

You need just some fabrics and thread, ribbon or something like it.

The red one is from my dad, it is very thick, probably meant for furniture some 20 years ago, green was left over from making advent calendars couple years back and the grey is from making a dress to my friend over 5 years ago. Some ribbon and woollen yarn.

And I just realised that I actually remember where my scrap fabric is from, should I be worried...?

Sewing is simple and nothing new there but here is a short tutorial just in case.

Cut rectangular parts on fold (becomes the bottom), longer than what they are wide. The longer they are, the deeper is the bag, naturally. Sew the sides, box the corners (optional).

Sew the thread/yarn/ribbon on the wrong side of the bag top. I used narrow zig zag so they would actually stay on. I folded the yarn double to prevent it from getting loose.

Sew the top. Leave the handles under the seam, fold over it and stitch over.

Done! So easy that there really is no excuse to buy any if you have suitable fabric on hand. Then you can just hope that the bag is actually saved and re-used. Maybe add a small tag asking to re-use the bag wouldn't be a bad idea?

Christmas cookies out of play dough

Day 3 in 12 Days of Christmas DIY Challenges was to bake something you have in your house already. I usually have basic ingredients in my kitchen but now I seemed to be missing all the key ingredients so this challenge really needed some thinking.

On Friday I was at home with my son, my daughter was in her pre-school and he was feeling a bit bored when his playmate wasn't at home. I thought that baking would be good thing to do but what to make when there is almost nothing in the kitchen?

Play dough of course! Or salty dough, magic dough whatever you call it. That definetely needs only the basic ingredients.

Here are the ingredients you need; flour, salt, some oil. Also you need water and can add any colouring you wish. If you have food colours, that's fine but also blueberry and cocoa work fine. Only note that those come with the smell and if baking with small kids they might eat the products. Though usually not twice, the dough has so much salt that it doesn't exactly encourage eating. Also, there is nothing poisonous in it so no harm done anyway.

The recipe is simple:

1 part of water

1 part of salt

2 parts of flour

oil

Mix water salt and flour, add colours. If you use food colours, it is easier to add in the water but the cocoa goes well with the flour. I had some food colours and used those. For a while I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't work as I had to mix the brown and the dough was first green,then violet but then I found the right amounts and made perfect brown. The "problem" was that there wasn't enough salt to make more and I actually wanted brown cookies for the challenge.

The dough can be worked with any kitchen tools you have as it is made with completely edible things.

Doesn't it look just like christmas cookie dough?

Of course you can make anything out of the dough; beads, baskets, play food etc. We made the cookies:

The dough can be used again if you don't let it to dry but we wanted to harden them. I was heating the house with our wood stove in the kitchen, I left them there to dry but the dough also drys and hardens in just room temperature, it just takes couple days depending on the thickness of your products. You can also harden them in the oven; 125 degrees Celsius, an hour or more.

Even on hot stove they took time to dry and even on the next morning they looked like this:

It seems that they didn't dry properly but they are hard enough to play with. I should have just used the oven... Now that they are dry and hard they can be painted with usual kids' paints, water colours aren't perfect, the water gets suck in the dough and tends to make it soft again. Anything else goes.

Not edible Christmas bakeries but perfect for kids' own play parties!

Whale plushie out of upcycled denim

I like challenges. If someone gives an impossible sort of task and asks "you probably don't have any idea how to solve this?", I usually reply that let's see, I might figure something out. Usually I do. That's part of the reason why I like upcycling old clothes, there is always the challenge how you can make your plans work when you aren't working with virgin fabric that you have bought just the amount needed from fabric store.

But, before I start rambling about that again, let's get to the point... There are five bloggers who have started a 12 days of Christmas DIY challenges. The challenge also includes link up party. I didn't have any sewing time yesterday which is shame as the topic was to make Christmas decoration out of old clothes. So many ideas! I will make them anyway later though.

The point of the challenge is that the Christmas shouldn't cost the earth, I fully agree and I try to participate as much as I can.

Today's challenge was by Vicky; Take an old pair of jeans and turn them into a Christmas Gift.

 Here we get to the challenge. I'm not a friend of denim/jeans when it comes to upcycling (even though they are the only pants I usually wear...) and this challenge wasn't as easy as yesterday's would have been. First I thought I would make some oven gloves as I had planned already earlier but the problem is that I didn't have jeans that were 100% cotton. The ones I was going to use had only 77% cotton! Not very safe to handle hot things with oven mittens that are in the danger of melting, if only partly. Had to think something else.

Then I remembered a whale that used to jump on the front page of my Pinterest some months back whenever I opened it. I didn't save it back then, it was made out of denim and thus not something I would probably make. Oh well, you can be wrong sometime.

We have had self filled advent calendars for the kids as long as they have known how to open them. Last year I switched it from calendar with 24 small pockets to a bigger bag that could hold some better surprises than just small figures, candies and some small scrap. Bigger bag doesn't mean more expensive surprises though, it's quite the opposite. For example you can print out new colouring picture, roll it and put in a bag. Cheap and very much appreciated by the kids!

So, how about start making the surprises already when there is almost full month before we can start opening the calenders? I looked up the whale, found tutorial, even though not a pattern and made these:

Not the prettiest things when it comes to sewing but I don't think my kids will mind... These are much smaller than the original (here) and I only draw the patterns from the screen from the pieces she had cut. If I made more, I would fix my "patterns" quite a deal, the fins are oddly proportioned and I don't think whales have snouts... It's not a fault of the original model, the original looks great! It is also much bigger. These are about 15cm long.

The snout... is it a whale? Flying fish? Bird? Mix-breed of bird, whale and dog? No idea, but I know my kids and they are usually crazy about new plushies and they will probably think it as some new specie - or then it is just a whale. I used beads as eyes and the fins and the tails I stitched with the kids' favourite colours; pink and green so you can tell them apart.

Thank you for the challenge for the hosts:

Upcycled gifts

Christmas is coming with all the presents to make but first couple other presents. Upcycled paper flower for my mum and my first zip it up pencil case for my daughter's friend. 

I actually remember my mother's birthday when asked but when it actually is - I don't remember it. I realised it on saturday when she was talking about making a cake and the birthday was on sunday when we were also going for a visit. I was going to spend few days with my kids in my home village so the visit didn't have anything to do with the birthday and I simply had forgotten. That needed some quick thinking. 

She likes orchids and I remembered seeing pattern for making own paper orchids in Pinterest. Upcycled paper was perfect for this, I have saved some magazines that have big pictures and nice, glossy pages. Then I needed a branch and a pot for the flower. I had saved yogurt cup and that seemed to fit, just had to figure out a way to make it heavy enough to stand with the flower. So I went "shopping" outside, found branch out of pine and took some sand from the kids' sand box. The problem was that all of these were quite wet so I took them inside, lit up the fire on fire place and put my treasures there to dry. Try and imagine the reaction of my kids when I was doing the exact thing I have forbidden them to do! No bringing sand and branches inside, right?

After making the flowers, I attached them to the branch with hot glue.

The whole thing turned out pretty nice if I may say so. And my mother liked it too. :)

For the other present I used the tutorial by Jill: http://jembellish.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/upright-zip-it-up-pencil-case-tutorial.html

After making it I can only admire the work she has done for making the tutorial. Definitely not the  easiest thing to sew, must not have been easy to figure it out in the first place! Thank you very much, I will be making more of these in the future! Already my kids said that they too absolutely need these, so...

I used quite thin fabrics so it was doable to sew, no broken needles for this one. For the lining I used usual cotton fabric but added one extra layer from similar fabric inside to make it sturdier. The pencil case something to make it stand and the tutorial mentions using some plastic, plastic sheet for example, I used coffee bag. I have saved couple just in case I would need them and now I did. For the hardener it is important that it is rather light, soft and bends. Coffee bag filled all the requirements and worked just fine. The outer fabric is from a skirt from recycling center.

My little old home village with a population under 2000 has own recycling center! People can bring there their clothes, toys, dishes, shoes, books and everything is free. I found bag full of clothes (will be shown later with more detail) and new leather shoes - all for free! The recycling center has been in great use and why wouldn't it? People are recycling more and more and why not to take your old things there when it is easy instead of throwing it away?

I made a suggestion about having recycling center here in my current home village. I got written reply with all the actions that were taken based on my suggestion and I'm glad they had taken it seriously. Someone had actually visited the mentioned recycling center but the decision was that there is no need for it. I may disagree and I tried to press the point in my suggestion but didn't work this time. To tell the truth, I didn't expect anything more this fast but I hope that someone will remember the idea. Who knows, maybe someday we have a place like that too? 

Old hood turned to mittens + free pattern!

*This article includes some Finnish as I took part in a finnish challenge by Villa Nanna*

Villa Nanna haastoi minut tekemään roskista tai jämistä jotain. Suostuin toki, haastehan on ihan kuin minulle tehty! Minä osallistun tekemällä vanhasta hupusta hanskat lapselle (ohje oli, että kotiin tai itselle, käykö tämä kuitenkin? :D) Vaatteet on jo myyty, mutta huput jäivät pyörimään kun en poiskaan niitä osannut niiden löydyttyä heittää.

I started a project to make autumn clothes for our kids out of soft shell. I got as far as cut parts for an overall and pants for our son and used scraps for two pairs of mittens. Then I wanted to try out the pattern for gloves and also try out how the soft shell is to work with. So before getting any further I had made these:

Not water proof but resistant to make playing outside a bit more comfortable when it is just wet instead of real raining. Funny thing is that making the mittens doesn't feel like upcycling

Then one thing left to another and I had made also these (the overall and pants are still cut in pieces):

I happened to lay my eyes on hoods that were left out when selling/passing away old outdoor clothes. Our kids don't like the hoods and whenever they are attached to the clothes with buttons or snaps, they take them away. So when I took the clothes to second hand store, the hoods were nowhere to be seen and I found them only when it was too late. I couldn't throw them away, all that good fabric and so on. So I saved them for future use.

I decided to try out if I could make mittens out of them with the pattern I had just made. They turned out pretty ok and that useless old hood turned into a pair of usable, warm gloves. I used just one hood so plenty left.

And here is how. I have also created new page with header "free printables". This pattern can be now found there with instructions but here is with pictures.

Näihin löytyy kaava ja suomenkieliset työohjeet blogin "free printables" sivulta! Tässä ohjeen tueksi kuvat.

First let's take a look how much fabric one hood contains:

The hood was out of winter overall so it had rather warm lining. It was thin enough to use with this pattern so I used that too.

When working with small pieces it is best to draw the patterns onto the fabric rather than cutting the fabric half like usually. Just remember to flip the pattern before cutting the other part or you have two gloves for one hand...

Have you ever played Tetris? Fitting the patterns to a fabric that looks almost too small is quite close to playing Tetris. Half of the lining was cut like this:

The other half was used almost as well and this was left:

If you get tired of attaching the pattern to fabric with needles, use pattern weights. I have mine taken out of old pennants from my grandpa.

Now you can start sewing. First the hand part:

Snip notches and trim seam allowances if needed, don't turn yet.

Sew the hand part together with top part, match the seams with the marks in top part of the mitten glove.

Pay extra attention when crossing the seams or you get nice wrinkles on right side. It is best to open the seams if you have Wonderclips for example.

It's best to stretch the fabric slightly while sewing:

Snip notches, tream seam allowances and turn the gloves/mittens. If you have lining, sew it the same way, just don't turn. Put the lining inside the gloves.

Sew the wrist bands:

Fold the wrist band half width-wise and attach over the glove with couple of needles/wonderclips:

It's best to use only couple as you don't have that much working space and more than that would be just on way. By the way, if you are going to make lined gloves for a two year old, please think twice! These were for a six year old and I could just sew them, anything smaller would have been near impossible.

Make sure that the wrist band doesn't escape, it slips away easily:

I used extra Wonderclip in front of the pressing foot to prevent it slipping. Not easy so be careful, go slow.

I know, I know, the thread doesn't match. I like to save my time in stages that aren't necessary. There is time and place to change all the serger threads, the gloves for (own) kids out of old hood isn't one of them.The kids will use them so that I strongly suspect they will be whole when the spring comes. They are gloves made for playing, not a piece of art. :D

Something scrap turned into gloves, I'm very happy!

The rest is the challenge instructions so thank you for my English spoken readers for reading. The pattern is free to use of course but it would be nice to see what kind of gloves/mittens you make with it.
