Maybe Tute'n Tuesday has been saved... with a hitch.


I saw this site called Mr. Linky and deciced to give it a go.
I may have to change it around a teensy bit but hey I really wanna keep my linky!!!
It may now be a Tackle it Tuesday with a Tute!
 LOL

Let's see what happens shall we?
Well it doesn't have sweet pics with the links but I'm willing if ya'll are!!


This linky is for all those who want to hype their tutorials. I won't delete you if there isn't a tute, but I am really wanting this to be the place we can share what we are making and make it easy for someone else to make it too. I am totally new to this so it may be rough the first few times. I am hoping to get an awesome following so share this with everyone!!

Thanks for joining and trying to help my blog.

Everything is welcome but tutorials are a PLUS!

Skirt & Belt to Bag Tutorial


I found some super cute skirts that would never fit my tushy when I went out
Bargin Shopping last week.
I still picked them up because I wanted them. Didn't know for what at the time but...
 I WANTED THEM!!
Isn't that all that really matters?


This is my local "dive" LOL


as in "dive in" and grab stuff!!
They are cool cuz they have a bin on the side of the building where they put freebies.
You can grab and have as much as you want from it. This is where I get most of the material I use.
Skirts are the best because it's a large chunk of material you can use.

This is the skirt we will be Tute'n with this week.
Let me say however that my pictures are having issues and I had to use photobucket which made this turn into way more work to create a tute than it was to make the silly thng at all!!!
GRRR TECHNOLOGY!!



Here are the belts I got as well;

These will make the purse strap. (well one will) LOL



First turn your skirt inside out.

If it has a lining this is great. It's easier to sew the lining up and
 just leave the shape of your skirt for the bag.

Sew around the edges and bottom

Pull liner out and sew across bottom
I have to mention I have no patience to pin and iron and all thay yadda so,
I justgo by sight and if I mess it up, it's mine to deal with. To me that is what makes it handmade.

This is where my photos were being jerks so I don't have all my shots.
Here you can see the liner sewed but on the exterior.

Here I took the belt and buckled it and pulled it to make it in halvsies and cut it.
I then touched superglue on the parts that could unravel.
Then I took the E6000 and attached it to the skirt in the proper locations to make a strap.

Here she is. I know this is a lame-o tute, but I'm frustrated on so many levels.
At least the purse is cute RIGHT?

HUMOR ME!!!


This is a few of the others I have done.
My first one:
