tutorial testing

Remember these recycled fabric bags from tiny happy?

Did you want one as much as I did? Well now you can make your own! This great new tutorial from tiny happy will show you how. I followed the directions as closely as can be expected from a girl who usually just looks at the pictures, and this is how my bag turned out:

The instructions were quite easy to follow, and there was only one tricky part (where you sew the two straps together at the top) but you are warned of this before you start that particular step, which I appreciated. If I am not told outright that something is going to be tricky, I just sit there going “what in the hey-hey am I doing wrong?”, So that was very helpful. Also nice about this tutorial is that it’s pretty darn quick. I made this bag in a short afternoon’s crafting time, if that translates at all.

In other tutorial testing news, the old-pants-to-new-skirt tutorial posted here on whip up in April was used recently over at gleek.net to make these three great skirts:

I’m loving the one with the emboridery.

And in other tutorial links (although I’ve not seen this one tested or tried it myself) an oversized t-shirt to halter top transformation from instructables:
