This idea came straight from a book that I found at the Half Price Book Store.  More Creative Sewing Ideas:http://www.amazon.com/CREATIVE-SEWING-Singer-Reference-Library/dp/0865732779/ref=sr_1_1?s=books%ie=UTF8%qid=1289802272%sr=1-1 . The directions were a bit confusing so I thought it would be nice to recreate the tutorial into video form. This is a simple way to really add more holiday spirit to your cheery home. You can use it in so many other ways if you stick with just white fabric. Remember to use different colors, textures, and ribbons. Have fun and Happy Holidays!

I was born in the fall, and I embrace fall fashion with every stitch in my sewing. Aside from not liking to match colors, I love to layer as well. One basic piece you should definitely have for fall would be leggings. They never go out of style, and even if they do they will always come back (Ahem Italian Renaissance Hose worn by  men). Cute textured leggings can cost anywhere from $7.00 to $20.00 a pair. Whip up a few that are comfortable for you, as well as suitable for your fashion sense. Have fun and be creative!Stuff:Everything were purchased from JoAnn Fabrics or stated otherwise
