Weekend Favorites

So, I seem to have collected a couple of links recently, and that calls for a Weekend Favorites post in my book 🙂

Images

The mosaic below represents other people’s pictures that spoke to me this week on Flickr and Instagram. Click on the titles below the mosaic to get a better look at the images and see more from the photographers who made them.

Links

Here are a few interesting things from around the web that grabbed me this week:

  • Free sewing tutorial and pattern toddler dress with peter pan collar – from small dreamfactory. Isn’t this adorable? I found it while looking for something a bit easier than this (I don’t want to mess with zippers and linings) but I had to share because it was so cute!
  • how to make an a-line dress – a sewing tutorial from Cool People Sew. This one has me rethinking my stance on linings. It looks pretty simple, and hey! reversible!
  • Bulky Indigo-dyed Mittens for July – a knitting pattern from Cozy Things. Here’s a quick and thrifty knit, completed in an afternoon from reclaimed and redyed yarn. The pattern is pretty simple, and if you can bring yourself to think wintery thoughts on a summer day, have at it!
  • How to improvise a top-down sweater – an awesome knitting series from Fringe Association. I just spent all morning reading through these posts. I would call them essential reading for anyone who wants to knit a sweater designed to fit their own unique curves.
  • Upcycled Jeans Quilt – a repurposing project from Andrea’s Notebook. This is really cool! I was thinking, if you don’t have jeans in a lot of different colors, and you like your quilt dark, you could throw some of the jeans into dye baths and end up with some deep jewel tones.

Have a lovely Summer Friday!
