Chalk paint is a huge trend among crafters and especially with those who upcycle pieces of furniture.  It provides you with a beautiful finish and it’s a fairly easy process to do yourself.  However, did you know that you can make the paint yourself?  There are more than one way to do so, resulting in a fairly similar finish.  Check out these different recipes and maybe one will seem to appeal to you more than another.  Or maybe you can just try them all.

DIY Shirt Extender – Sewing Pattern

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
