Memorial Day 2016:  Decorate Your Hero With A Patriotic Tie

5/29/2016

0 Comments

Tomorrow is Memorial Day.  Hope you have plans to honor the veterans and service men and women who serve our country.  We suggest going to a museum .  Some museums offer free admission to active military members and their families.   

You can also catch some great Memorial Day sales so it's the perfect time to stock up on the necessities.  JoAnn's is offering an extra 20% off of your purchase, and Military members always receive 10% off .   You can find details on JoAnn.com. 

Since you'll be getting great deals, we suggest buying fabric in patriotic colors, then decorating your hero with a patriotic tie before you head to the museum.  We followed a Threadbanger YouTube tutorial to make a red and blue tie, complimentary to Memorial Day.

When we Cris-Croched The Circle Skirt, we introduced you to Dana from madeeveryday.com.  This week, we're bringing her back with another one of her great tutorials.  In this video, she shows you how to step up your skirt game by sewing pockets into your skirt.  We haven't tried this one yet, so if you beat us to it, tell us  below.  Better yet,  tell us what  you'll be filling those pockets with.  Since you saved money by making your skirt instead of buying it, we hope they're filled with the extra money you saved!

Browsing through the Craftsy crocheting blog, I came across a free cowl  crochet pattern from Posh Patterns.  The intro stated that it is an easy, quick work up.  Now that was right up my alley so I decided to Cris-Croche it.  After finishing , I can agree that it is extremely easy since the only stitch used is a half double crochet.  This is what makes it quick to complete.  The pattern was very easy to follow so if you're a beginner it's perfect for you.

Cris-Croched:  The Circle Skirt

While surfing the web, we came across a wonderful YouTube video from Dana at Madeeveryday.com and instantly fell in love with her bubbly personality.  Upon further investigation, we found a lovely detailed tutorial on how to sew a circle skirt.  So we decided to give it a try and Cris-Croche it out .   The tutorial was very easy to follow and the pattern is easy enough for the beginning sewer to complete.  In fact it was such a quick work up that we made 4.  There are two versions of the skirt, a single layer and a double layer.  We made both versions. However, because of the busy print on the fabric we used,  it's hard to tell in the photos.
