You can make an XL T shirt into a size small? Yes, you can. And it's easy. Many times you have t shirts (often giveaways for events, etc.) that are WAY too big. They just print a batch of XL and figure they will fit everyone. These shirts either get worn as sleepwear or sit around waiting to become rags. But often the shirt is from something special you've done and you want to wear it. The answer is to make it your size. And you can do that! This is something I've done for my daughter, with shirts from some of her college events, making the shirts a part of her wardrobe rather than a gift to Goodwill. This is a great job for a serger, but I use a zigzag stitch on my regular machine and it works fine. This could also be done by hand by any competent stitcher. This tutorial seems long because I have shown each step. After you've done this once, you will see how easy it really is! Your most important tool is a shirt that fits; this will be your pattern. (The brown shirt is the pattern shirt here.) 1. Cut off the sleeves of the big shirt at the seams. 2. Lay the pattern shirt on the big shirt folding sleeves up and out of the way. Match the shoulder seams of the two shirts. 3. Cut shirt approx. 1/4 inch larger than pattern at each side, and 3/4 inch longer at bottom. 4. Turn shirt inside out and pin the side seams from armpit to bottom. 5. Sew along pinned sides 1/4 inch from edge. Then turn up the bottom and stitch around hem. 6. For sleeves the shortening is done from the cut edge, you will keep the sleeve hem as is. Use pattern shirt to cut sleeves, match hems and cut top edge 1/4 inch longer. Then cut seamed edge to narrow the sleeve leaving 1/4 inch to sew. 7. Turn sleeve right sides together and stitch underarm seam. 8. Turn sleeve right side out and pin inside shirt armhole opening. Match seam of sleeve with seam of shirt, make sure you have right sides together. Shirt is inside out, sleeve is rightside out, see photo. 9. Sew around pinned sleeve seam. This is not as hard as it looks. Just follow the edges around, and since the fabric stretches it goes together easily. 10. Last step, cut out that size label! Enjoy a shirt that fits! This technique can be used to make a basic T into a "girly fit T", you would make the sleeves extra small and curve the side seams in at the waist. Use a well fitting girly T as your pattern.

Have you ever had a class with so many difficult, disruptive students that you felt that you could barely even teach? What can you do to get past it? In this post, I am going to address this problem with my best advice, and some advice from others as well.

5 years ago, I created this FOCCACIA recipe that was mediocre, but I enjoyed it. Every year, I would make it better and better. Once I got the perfect measurements & bake time, I felt stagnant. I asked myself how I could possibly make this FOCCACIA better? Well, I found a way and I know all your garlic butter lovers will thank me later!

As teachers, we know that students need routines and a certain degree of predictability in order to feel safe in a new classroom and learn what you expect of them. One of the most important things we do to help with this is establish morning and afternoon routines. Not only will students feel less anxiety

I've been working on a few things for Behavior Management so I thought I'd join the party! Check out The Lesson Plan Diva to see others who have linked up! I've seen a lot of clip charts and stop lights in blog land and I have to say that I am not a fan. Don't get me wrong--I think they are pretty, easy to use, and a quick visual for the teacher at the end of the day when getting things ready to go home. BUT I strongly believe that kids should not be publicly embarrassed for their behavior. EVERYONE makes poor choices from time to time. Would you want the entire staff to know when you missed a deadline or made a mistake? I know this is not the intention, but it happens anyway. Instead I use a binder. I wish I had a photo to show but sadly it is locked up at school. In the binder is a chart with student numbers instead of names. When students make poor choices, they are asked to visit the behavior binder where they place a check mark next to their number. There is also a copy of our Quality Student they should quickly review. When sending students to the binder, I make sure to do it privately so the student is not embarrassed. Each Monday we discuss the previous week's data, celebrate if we made a goal, and make new goals for the coming week. The binder is also handy at conference time. As a class, we set goals for the number of checks we will try to stay under per week. Students also may have personal goals for how many checks they will have each week or grading period. Recently I found Homeworkopoly on Ladybug's Teacher Files and decided to teacher-lift it. She uses this for students who consistently complete their homework, but I decided to use it as a behavior incentive. ALOT of people have been posting about doing away with the prize/treasure box and this could work for that too. I included two "prize box" places on the board but you could easily replace them with something else. I am still working on the Chance cards and I also added a spot for "Student-written questions." My plan here is to have students write their own review questions for topics already covered. So my printer is running low on ink and the colors are a bit distorted but this is the basic idea. My plan is to post it on the chalk board and use pictures of the kids faces to make magnetic playing pieces. Students who made it the entire week without any checks in the behavior binder (or who met their personal behavior goal) will get to take a turn on the Behavioropoly Board. Check out Ladybug's Teacher Files to see how she runs the game. ***Update*** Due to a high volume of requests I am no longer sending out my template by email.

Cheddar Gorge is an underrated location in England, and I didn't know it existed 2 hours before exploring it. Here's why you should go!

I found this recipe for zucchini scarpaccia by the amazing Giada De Laurentiis and was so eager to try it. This one is very similar to Giada's original recipe, but I added a few extra spices to really bring out the crisp and salty flavor of the scarpaccia. Scarpaccia is a rustic Italian tart that...

Schmuddeliger Hund | Limitierter Kunstdruck von einer Originalzeichnung. Wir alle haben einen ungepflegten Hund, den wir lieben. Meine Skizzen beginnen das Leben als handgezeichnete Graphitbilder auf Patronenpapier. Diese werden oft mit Kohle, Ölpastell oder Caran d'Ache bearbeitet, um den Look zu erzeugen, den ich suche. Das Kunstwerk wird dann gescannt und digitalisiert, um für den Kunstdruck bereit zu sein. Dieser Prozess, der oft als Giclée-Druck bezeichnet wird, verwendet den höchsten Standard an Druckmethoden, um Ergebnisse in Galeriequalität zu erzielen, die alle Details der Originalskizze beibehalten. Die Bleistifte, die ich verwende, sind Faber-Castel, die Ölpastelle sind Sennelier und die Porzellangraphik ist Caran d’Ache. Die Tinten sind Pigment basierte Archivqualität (100Jahre+). Die schweren Spezialpapiere, die ich verwende, sind von bester professioneller Qualität mit einer wunderbaren Oberfläche, die speziell für Kunstzeichnungen und Illustrationen entwickelt wurde. Sehr limitierte Auflagen mit nur zehn pro Größe gedruckt. Alle Kunstwerke sind signiert und enthalten ein Echtheitszertifikat. Die A5 sind 14,8 cm x 21 cm groß. Die A4 sind 21cm x 29,8cm Die A3 sind 11.7" x 16.5" (29,8 cm x 42cm) Die A2 sind 16,5 "x 23,4" (42 cm x 59,4 cm) Kostenloser Versand für Kunstwerke zu allen Zielen. Rahmen nicht im Preis inbegriffen.
