Sweater-scarf and boot socks

I am always looking for new ways to dress up my wardrobe and when I saw boot socks on Pinterest I knew I had to try them. I started out with an old sweater and cut it at the armpits on both sides. Then I folded it down and added a button...simple as that.

  As for the scarf I cut the sweater from the armpits down, stretched it out, and added a button.

 

 This whole redo took about 15 min and I LOVE my new accessories!

Chair redo

I have been wanting to redo a chair for a few months now and when my favorite shop put everything half off I new it was time to find the perfect chair. Of course I found one and it was only $5 (thanks to the half off) 

Before

I found a gray chevron fabric and went with a pink spray paint. My husband trusted me enough to use the electric staple gun and I was able to complete this project without any help from him :) I LOVE it and can't wait to use it in a craft room one day!

Seatbelt cover

Yesterday and today I tested out my sewing skills (which are slim to none) and impressed myself with what I was able to accomplish. I made 3 seat belt strap covers and 1 handle cover for my daughters car seat. They are very easy to make and very comfortable. This tutorial will make 1seat belt cover.

Supplies:

2 pieces of fabric 7.5"Lx 8.5"W 
1-2 pieces of 8x10 sewing batting (depending on how thick you want it)
scissors
sewing machine
Velcro

Step one:

Lay your fabric right side together, lay your piece of fleece on top and sew around the edges leaving a gap open to flip right-side out.

Step 2:

Once you have it turned right side out, add a piece of Velcro to the short side. Turn it over to the front side and place the other piece of Velcro about an inch in.  You can fold the fabric in thirds to see where your Velcro will match up. See pictures below
