Pins & Needles

A blog made mainly because my computer is getting clogged with all my sewing ideas, inspiration, projects, and tutorials! With ideas making my sewing to do list longer every day, this might help keep me on track. Warning: may also become a food blog.

Feel free to submit your favorite sewing stuff!

Marbled Glassware | Honestly WTF
You don’t need anything fancy to create these pretty cups - just painters tape, water and nail polish! This would be great to use up your nail polish colours that you love but don’t love on your fingers. The process is very similar to tutorials on how to do marbled nail polish, except much less messier on your hands!

This would be perfect for a gift for my shot glass lovin’ friends!

It should be of no surprise, a pop of neon brings “tiers” of joy to our eyes. A cascade of bold brights works day or night, and Summer’s the ideal time to radiate shocking hues. Designers like Tom Binns and Oscar de la Renta have shown us that jewels are more chic with a colorful streak…unlock your own inner glow with this DIY neck candy! 
To create, hit up your local hardware store for these colorful key identifiers. Layout a pattern and secure each circle with jump rings. Once you have your finished “bib” add 2 jump rings and a chain to finish off!  
P.S.- Visit Elle Magazine for more DIY’ness with Erica.

A nifty guide for making a monogram fabric picture to decorate your home - or to give as a gift. I think this one has a Laura Ashely feel to it.
