Tutorial and giveaway: Flutter-sleeve dress

October 28, 2009 by Anne Weaver

 fluttersleevedressAshley from Smashed Peas and Carrots created this flutter-sleeve dress for her daughter.  It’s made from fleece, so it’s practical for the cold winter months.  Not only did she create a tutorial showing how she made this little dress, she’s also giving one away!  The one she’s giving away is sized to fit a 6-12 month baby.  (Or perhaps a 12-18 month, depending on the child’s proprotions.) 

If you know a little girl who needs a cool winter dress, go to Smashed Peas and Carrots for the details and to enter the giveaway.  Giveaway ends on Friday, October 30, 2009 at 9:00 pm CST. 

Or, if you love this dress but your child isn’t the right size for it, go to the tutorial to find out how to make one of your own.

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.

This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.

What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care

  • A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall

If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
