Harry Potter Cosplay: Hermoine Granger!

 Harry Potter Cosplay: Hermoine Granger!   Okay, there's a lot of variety with Ms. Granger. If you have bangs--you might go with the young version...bangs and lots of curls.  Or older with more tame hair!  Here's how we did the Gryffindor Robes: I used my favorite Robe pattern Simplicity 5840...and cut a rounded hood instead of a pointy one. Seriously, this pattern is worth it!  You can pick it up from Amazon too! I cut a red lining for the hood only and sewed it up. It takes about 2 hours of sewing to get it all together. See more details on this post Here's the funny backstory: I was majorly into making robes about 8-9 years ago...I made 100's. I bought every single bolt of black or brown material on the $1 a yard rack at Walmart... and they don't even have that rack anymore! I cut out this pattern so many times...until I wore myself out! I sold a bunch of them for $100's each and gave many as gifts. I cut out another batch ...

Doctor WHO week! I Heart Heart The Doctor Tie Dye Shirt!

  I Heart Heart The Doctor Tie Dye Shirt! Don't you love Doctor Who week!? I'm always surprised how many great ideas I have!  Haha!  Combine hippie tie dye with your favorite time traveling medical care provider! First you will need to make the heart heart tie dye shirt! You will need a White cotton shirt and Tulip's one-step tie dye kit. Wash the shirt in hot water. While it's still wet, fold in half. Draw a heart on the front with a washable marker. Scrunch up the shirt so the heart line all lines up in one continuous line. Secure it with a rubber band. **You can read here for more tie dying tips ** Place on a baking sheet and covered table. load up the shirt with dye! Let the shirt sit in a plastic bag for 6-8 hours. Then rinse completely until the water runs clear. Then wash in a regular cycle...then dry. Next cut out some vinyl. I got the GREATEST vinyl from SiserNA! They sent me a sample pack in exchange for this review....

Tie Dye Pajama Shirt Sleepover Party! #TieDyeYourSummer

 Tie Dye Pajama Shirt Sleepover Party!  #TieDyeYourSummer  I was sent supplies from Tulip I love to Create in exchange for this post.  We had our cousins over for a couple days while parents  went out of town...and we had so much fun! Tie Dye Pajama Shirt Sleepover Party!  We started in the morning with our Tulip One-Step Tie Dye Kit  We covered a patio table with a garbage bag, zip ties and used a baking rack  to prevent dye puddling under the shirt. Otherwise, everything you need is included in the kit for mess free dying!  Oh, we made some makeshift aprons out of grocery bags too. I worked with one child at a time, the others jumped on the tramp to keep the chaos controlled.  Each kiddo got to design their own shirts! The cousins picked hearts! (for step by step details on creating shapes, click here)  Once the shirt is dyed, put it in a grocery bag.  My daughter made a rainb...
