The Crafting Life {A Whole Bunch of Tutorials;)}

Well, as I am in my recovery mode, I have been searching a lot of blogs lately, leaving {more than usual} comments, and finding a lot of neat tutorials! Here's what I want to make in the coming weeks:
{Please note that I am not a follower of these blogs, therefore do not know what original content they post. Just a warning in case you run into some inappropriate things;)}
For a special little something, I hope to do over at my photography blog. *wink, wink*


Again, for something special I hope to do in a few months over at my photography blog. *wink*


Look at this though! *sigh* I LOVE it! This I will be making for my camera strap:). It's interesting because you sew the ruffles, and then iron them flat to make it looked gathered.

~The Strappy Camera Lens Pouch~
I also really want to make this for myself and for a friend.

~Messenger Bag::a tutorial~
I LOVE LOVE LOVE messenger bags, and have been tempted, more than once, to purchase the Marie Madeline Messenger Bag.:)
I would love to make this one someday!

~Lined Zippered Pouch/Make Up Bag Tutorial~

Cuteness! Wouldn't that make a perfect gift???

Cute, Cute, CUTE! I LOVE hobo bags. Although, this is a pattern, so I might not be able to read it. ;) That's why I appreciate step-by-step tutorials as an alternative. 

Simple Purse

This is really cute as well.

Original Pleated Wristlet Clutches
These are SO cute!!! I have always wanted to make pleated clutches like that.

Well, that's what I have been thinking about sewing! Hopefully, I shall be accomplishing these tutorials soon!

Great tutorial sites that I like include:

    In answer to your question, right now I'm still working on crocheting scarves to give away in my Pay it Forward (hint, hint everyone; keep an eye on my blog {http://beesonbunch.webs.com/apps/blog/} for it!) =D

  7. Hi, Rachel!

    Oooh! Crocheting! How fun! I'm not sure how advanced you are at crocheting but you may be interested in crocheting her some fingerless gloves?

    Or perhaps a soap bag? Here are some basic instructions:

    Chain about 30 stitches
    Double crochet until your reach the end
    Join loop with slip stitch
    Crochet in rounds by half-double crocheting and chaining one, skip a stitch, half-double crochet, chain one, etc. Join loop with slip stitch.
    Repeat until soap bag is as long as you like.

    I know that was probably extremely confusing!:)
    You can also find some fun circular scrubbies here: http://feelinfeminine.com/?p=7907
