In the spirit of the day, a day of outdoor grilling and drinking in the sun, I'm bringing you a roundup of cozies to keep your beer/soda/whatever cool and lookin' good!
First, this one is just for fun, My Science Project has a tutorial for this rice krispies treat cozy!
The same site did a test on what kinds of cozies keep drinks the coldest, including normal and wacky varieties (check...
Did you know that back when colonial Americans were protesting against the British for their independence, knitting played a significant role in this revolt? I recently picked up the book Knitting America and was so interested to learn about the history of political knitting. Way before the Revolutionary War actually began, the colonists were fighting for their freedom from the Brits by...
I caught myself laughing out loud earlier this month at a Go Fug Yourself post featuring the above photo of Reese Witherspoon. The Fug Girls hilariously pointed out that her skirt wasn't actually high-waisted, rather, "a Regular Skirt You Just Hoisted Up Nearly to Your Pits." In the interest of saving both you and myself from the same fate, here are some ideas for turning regular thrift...
Patchwork isn't just for grandmas anymore.
Cause really, what is more diy than quilting? I hereby call for a return to quilting -- and no, it doesn't have to be the traditional precisely measured block piecing. Check out some of these modern takes. A lot of them are free-form, and specifically made from scraps or material recycled from sheets and clothing. You'l never want to throw out a piece...

If so, let's take this week's episode of Decor It Yourself and add a pirate spin to it. You can take the technique of making the Gay Pride flag and make it more in One-Eyed Willie's style. Just find a cool image of a skull and crossbone, and create an applique. Add the applique to fabric to make your flag front, like the rainbow I...
Cut out + Keep is having this awesome contest where you enter you how-to craft projects of something inspired by Sex and the City and you could win a book of the movie! I thought you guys might enjoy this if you enjoyed the movie half as much as me, and plus, Stacy's blog below has a great pattern for Carrie's wedding dress! The contest ends July 10th. Good luck!
The movie Sex and the City has been out for a month now and achieved the top spot at the box office. Not only were die hard fans lining up at the theater to see if Carrie would marry Mr. Big, but also to check out the fashions everyone would be wearing. Now you can own a piece of Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe with Hot Pattern's Deco Vibe Carrie-d Away Skirt Suit. This pattern not only...
I first saw this idea maybe a year ago, and I'm sure it's been around way longer than that, but I finally got around to trying it out yesterday and it's superrad!

Here is a blog post...
