Great skirt pattern and tutorial, reminds me very much of the denim ones at American Apparel. I love this pattern, and the end result looks great.

 
 


A cool guide showing how to make an easy, embellished striped dress. What is great about this tutorial is that there are so many possibilities when creating this dress. By simply changing the fabric and embellishments, you have a completely different dress. The choice is yours. How will you personify this dress?

 
 


This vintage inspired swimwear is adorable and easy to make, but the best part is that the patterns can be printed from home off of your printer! Before BurdaStyle went all 'holier than thou', and basically sold out to consumerism (A big no-no in the handmade nation preservation), they used to be an amazing site that offered so many patterns for just about everything imaginable. They had a huge online following, HUGE. Users would contribute patterns, tutorials and sewing tricks, and even the stylists and designers who ran the website would contribute. I miss their weekly mailers, and the great community that they had built. It was basically a goldmine for fashion students, sewing nerds, and designers alike.
That is until they completely changed the website, and it basically became a pattern 'store', where they sell individuals patterns for money. So much for Share, Remix, Reuse. 
Anyways, I still have a bunch of their patterns before they sold their souls, and I would like nothing more than to share them with you. It's the fASHLIN way of thinking.
Please enjoy this high quality vintage swimsuit pattern! By the way, if you are making ANY of these DIY novelties, please send in pictures to ashlin@fashlin.com!!
I'm excited to see what you guys do with these gems..

 
 


Noriko, as her name suggests, is a ‘child of principle’ or, in our case, a bag of principle. Noriko uses the principle of a single pattern piece for all sides of the bag. This lightweight bag, both graceful and whimsical, provides wonderful opportunities to showcase your favorite fabric.

One pattern piece makes each of the four panels of this unique teardrop bag. The gentle curve at the base of the bag offers a stable base and a graceful silhouette when full. The two side panels can be tucked in toward the center of the bag when not in use, allowing the bag to close flat for storage or safe keeping. We have matched our beautiful fabrics with ribbon, beads and a button to finish the look.

Note: This design does not use batting or interfacing. Two layers of fabric create a graceful bag with a beautiful drape and femininity.

 
 


Make this little bag by weaving your favorite fabric bias strips using fusible web and coordinating quilted fabric. The project requires only simple weaving techniques. The placement and repeat of several colors of fabric strips will create a fantastic result. Clover's useful tools for making fusible web bias strips will make this a quick and enjoyable project.
