Trapillo yarn is the next cool thing, trust me, I know (also, it's all over Pinterest...). It's super comfortable and bulky, you can make everything from housewares, to baby clothes to cool hats out of it. And the best part about trapillo yarn? You can repurpose old t-shirts and leggings to make your own! I've been on a big house purge lately. Maybe it's Spring in the air, (or maybe it's the fact that I've been making stuff all winter and not really been cleaning up after myself..) but I just feel like I have so much stuff everywhere. I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about how I yearn for a quality closet full of items that I really want to wear, rather than just a bunch of stuff that I constantly have to search through to find something to wear. I'm happy to say that I finally started that purge (finally) and boy does it feel good. Actually, right now I'm at the stage where everything is sort of a bigger mess, but you can feel the change in the air, the trapillo is sort of (definitely) a procrastination. Making trapillo is super easy, all you need to get started is: -An old t-shirt (I find the thin stretchy ones work really well- you could also use leggings) -Fabric scissors (While we're at it, check out this meme- almost died of happiness) -A ruler (This is optional... I started without one and realised that it would probably turn out better if I used one, so I changed my mind half way into the project- I guess I should say ruler recommended) Directions: 1. Lay your shirt flat, aligning the side seams and hem so that the front and back of the shirt lay flat on top of one another without too many wrinkles or bubbles. I found that steaming (or ironing) the shirt before I started made a big difference in ease. 2. Cut the hem off of your shirt, or unpick and press flat. 3. Draw horizontal lines across your shirt about 1 inch apart. (I tried freestyling this, it's actually easier to just draw the lines. A couple minutes here saves a bunch of confusion and frustration later) 4. Cut the lines through both layers leaving about 2-3 inches of uncut space along one side of the shirt. 5. Now you have to connect all the lines you just cut so that you have one continuous pieces that spirals up the shirt. I did this by going inside to the back layer and cutting all the lines up to the sideseam. Then I went back to the top layer and finished all the top cuts at an upwards diagonal so that they line up with the back cuts a level up from their own. The picture explains it a little better: 6. Keep going until it's all one long piece. 7. Now you'll have to stretch it out a bit. Because it's a knit it will curl under at the edges. This makes it look all nice and perfect no matter how haggard your cutting was ;) 8. And that's it. Roll it up into a ball and dig out those knitting needles. I already know what I'm going to make, one of those awesome EEK hats that Wool and the Gang made for the GILES FW2014 show. Enjoy! I gotta go take all the stuff off of my bed that inevitably piles up every time I "clean". Thanks for reading! XO_BITS

I scored this "gently used" tshirt at a yard sale this summer for 25 cents! Now, I don't have any interest in college football. However, I've lived in West Virginia all my life, and I feel that I need to pick a side - Marshall University or West Virginia University. My choice was simple. I look better in gold than green. =) **I do like the Washington Redskins (but only because my boyfriend does), so I really need to find a Redskins tshirt to do this to.** To make this shirt more fitted, I had to move the shoulder seam. It was going half way down my arm. I put the shirt on inside out, and marked where the new seam should go with a piece of chalk. I marked it all the way to the bottom of my armpit. Then I cut along the chalk line. Next, I slid the sleeve (the part that I cut off) on my arm and pinned it for a comfortable fit. I sewed and trimmed the excess fabric. Then I pinned it to the armhole on the shirt and sewed it back on. Once I finished the sleeves on both sides, I tried the shirt on inside out and pinned the sides to make the shirt fit better. Then I sewed up the sides. I trimmed the excess fabric. Now, on to the ruching!!! (My favorite part!) I used 1/4" elastic. I chose to ruche the sleeves and the sides of the shirt. I started by attaching the elastic with a few stitches, then I pulled the elastic super tight while I was sewing it to the shirt. And this is how the ruching looked when I was finished. Once I was finished, I realized that the shirt was still too long for my taste so I cut the original hem off. Since this is a t-shirt, I didn't have to re-hem it. I just stretched it a little and it rolled up. Now it's perfect! I think I'm gonna start doing this to all of my oversized tshirts! =) Thanks for reading! Feel like reading another great blog?
