I realized I could just add a collar to a regular shirt with some scrap fabric and get the same thing for way less! I eyeballed everything and improvised along the way, so forgive me for not including measurements and details. I wanted my collar to be narrow, with a wide neckline, so I made sure I cut my pieces as best I could to fit that. I used a collar tutorial (http://www.sew2pro.com/back-to-front-blouse/) to see how the basic shape should look and how to attach it correctly using bias tape. Work slowly and make adjustments if you need to. ]]> </content> <author> <name>Erica L.</name> <uri>https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/users/20468</uri> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:www.cutoutandkeep.net,2005:Project/100400</id> <published>2014-05-05T10:00:13+00:00</published> <updated>2014-05-05T10:00:13+00:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/furniture-makeover-with-decoupage"/> <title>Furniture Makeover With Decoupage </title> <summary>Hand-me-down cabinet gets makeover with colorful wrapping paper</summary> <content type="html"> <![CDATA[<img src='https://images.coplusk.net/project_images/170376/image/square_2014-03-24-212003-After.jpg' width='240' height='240'/><br/>A friend of mine gave me this old bathroom cabinet and although I liked and needed the storage, it just wasn't right for me.

Used sweaters are easy to sew with a sewingmachine and a suitable material for beginners. The patterns are also easy to make from your old favorite clothing. This reconstruction is made from copying the pattern from an old jersey dress/tunic that I had, but you can aply the same technique to make one from an old hoodie or cardigan. ]]> </content> <author> <name>Outi Les Pyy (previously OutsaPop Trashion)</name> <uri>https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/users/3162</uri> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:www.cutoutandkeep.net,2005:Project/93993</id> <published>2013-11-11T10:00:10+00:00</published> <updated>2013-11-11T10:00:10+00:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/diy-lace-insert-t-shirt"/> <title>Diy Lace Insert T Shirt</title> <summary>Lace insert in back of the t-shirt, easy project</summary> <content type="html"> <![CDATA[<img src='https://images.coplusk.net/project_images/158500/image/square_lace-insert-tshirt-diy-before-and-after-.jpg' width='240' height='240'/><br/>Growing up, I was never a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. I always preferred dresses, cardigans and sweaters. There are times when I would not have a single t-shirt in my closet, save the smelly ones i use for my workout. But after having a baby, I am tending toward having more and more comfy clothes that are easy to clean. But the girly part of me can’t stand turning t-shirts into a regular part of my wardrobe. But i did find this little way to bring up the acceptableness (real word?) of the comfy top.

It's quick and easy to do. I found the idea on the website that this creation is linked to! Here is how it is made: You take a can (for my part I used an empty salmon can) Clean well so that it does not smell (this is obvious) Cut a piece of circle fabric a bit larget than the circumference of your can. Then apply glue to the bottom of the can and the beginning of the sides and glue the round fabric so that it is on the bottom and beginning of the sides. Cut a rectangle piece the lengh of the can. If you don't want to finish the can with a "glued seam" you should make it wider so that it goes over the top sharp side. If not, it can end at the edge and then you can cover the edge with another fabric. Finally build yourself a mini-cushion that you will stuff with either cotton or with other scraps of fabric you do not need anymore. Spread glue everywhere inside your can and stuff the cushion in there. Eh Voilà! Let dry and you have yourself a nice personnalized Pin Cushion!]]> </content> <author> <name>Emily B.</name> <uri>https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/users/35662</uri> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:www.cutoutandkeep.net,2005:Project/37811</id> <published>2010-06-27T22:15:57+00:00</published> <updated>2010-06-27T22:15:57+00:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/laptop-sleeve-from-leather-jacket"/> <title>Laptop Sleeve From Leather Jacket</title> <summary> DIY: Laptop Sleeve from Leather Jacket</summary> <content type="html"> <![CDATA[<img src='https://images.coplusk.net/project_images/57864/image/square_opening.jpg' width='240' height='240'/><br/>As you may recall from a previous project I posted, we still have the rest of the thrifted leather jacket leftover to something fantastic with! So with my Hubby's birthday quickly approaching, I decided to make him a homemade sleeve for his laptop computer. Sure you can buy one from the store - and I did scrounge up a tutorial for using some neoprene from an old wetsuit [and here, too!] (like I have many of those laying around!)...but I wanted to try a different material. Leather is cushioning and sleek - but if you prefer manmade leather or vinyl (or even fabric, corderuoy, or denim!) this project will work just as well. I was inspired by those wraparound manila envelopes - but you can always use a strip of material and velcro as a closure, or fashion a long strip with a parachute buckle around the entire laptop, or extend one side of the outer material and use it as a closure flap, or even add a couple inches to each end and use a zipper as closure, turning this sleeve into a simple zippered bag. The possibilities are endless! ]]> </content> <author> <name>carlyjcais</name> <uri>https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/users/30060</uri> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:www.cutoutandkeep.net,2005:Project/44740</id> <published>2010-10-05T12:11:59+00:00</published> <updated>2010-10-05T12:11:59+00:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/shirt-skirt-and-dress"/> <title>Shirt Skirt And Dress</title> <summary>Turn two men's shirts in to a dress!</summary> <content type="html"> <![CDATA[<img src='https://images.coplusk.net/project_images/69211/image/square_Screen_shot_2010-10-05_at_12.41.08_1286279001.jpg' width='240' height='240'/><br/>This is a really cool and easy project that should take no more than ten minutes.
