Pinterest is my new obsession. I put off joining Pinterest because I knew I would spend too much time looking at it, but am surprised to find that I have actually made many things I have seen! So, this site is dedicated to all the things I make from Pinterest. I will try my best to provide a link to any tutorials I used and will provide my own tutorial if there was not one available. Let's get crafty!
Sounded easy and my linen closet in our bathroom always smells damp because we have no vent to take the steam from our showers outside. I used tea tree oil because it's what I had Don't even try to make yours look prettier than mine because your efforts will be futile. It just doesn't get any nicer than a leftover meat container with slits stabbed in the top. Safe and sound in my linen closet. I'm hoping this works and I can now fall asleep in tea tree goodness instead of musty blech.

I changes it up by using a hop and embroidering my girl's names.

It was delicious. Next time I'll add more bacon just because you can't have too much bacon. Here's mine before I set it to cook all night. We ate it before I could take an after picture. Was also good rolled up into a burrito with salsa and sour cream!

I saw this on Pinterest and wanted to make it for teachers gifts.
However, there is no tutorial. Even if there was, I believe it's in German, so that takes care of that. This is my attempt to make my own. I do not know why my pictures come through so fuzzy on Blogger. They look clear on my phone...sigh.
What you need: two contrasting fabrics (I bought an 1/8 of a yard of each. It's the perfect width for the pocket) Pellon Peltex 72F Double-Sided Fusible Ultra Firm Stabilizer (my new favorite thing)
I made mine to fit an Iphone in an otterbox, so your dimensions may differ from mine. Here we go: Cut two of backing fabric and one of stabilizer to 7x4 inches Cut front fabric to 5x4 1/2 inches for the pocket (I cut mine on the selvage so turn 5 into 5 1/2 if you will need to hem for a clean edge)
Fuse backing fabric to front and back of stabilizer according to the directions that come with the stabilizer. Here's a silly video of what you'll end up with:
Now, line up one side of the pocket fabric with one side of the backing. The 5 inch side will run vertical. I cut my fabric so the selvage edge is on top. If you have an unfinished edge, sew a hem on that end of the fabric, then line up your pieces.
Pick a zigzag you like, I like mine wide with the stitches close together. Sew down this side.
Line the other side of the pocket fabric up with the backing. There will be excess fabric in the middle, but you want that. It will end up being a pocket. See where I'm going with this? Now sew down that side!
Fold the excess fabric back evenly at each side to make a tuck. Pin in place.
Sew across the bottom and the top
Now is time to cut out a 1 3/8 inch square. Measure 1/4 inch from the top and 1 1/4 inch from each side. It would be more accurate to make a template and trace the square onto your fabric. Now, as Joey on Full House would say, CUT IT OUT!
Zig Zag around that sucker
You can make this for less than $3. It's easy, doesn't take long and is super cute! Plus, you will fall in love with such a sturdy stabilizer and will dream about other projects to make with it.
Don't even try to make yours look prettier than mine because your efforts will be futile. It just doesn't get any nicer than a leftover meat container with slits stabbed in the top.
Safe and sound in my linen closet. I'm hoping this works and I can now fall asleep in tea tree goodness instead of musty blech.
