How To Go Live On TikTok and Instagram
-
Going live on TikTok and Instagram is a great way to get real up close and
personal with your audience. While it seems like doing a live story might
be the...
First I want to show you all the amazing zippers I got from Zipit on Etsy.
I paid 12.00 (including shipping and handling) for 25 7&8 inch assorted zippers.
Steps
1) Measure your zipper to your fabric. Lay your zipper on top of your fabric. Make sure you leave a little extra for your seam & Trim.
2) Cut your bag how big you want it in proportion to the opening. Cut an outside fabric {Mine is the blue plaid} and an inside {pink plaid} My bag is 10x11
3)Take your lining and place it beside your sewing machine. Get your thread and bobbin and place it inside your machine.
4)Turn your lining fabric inside out, pin all around. Leaving an opening for the zipper.
5)Mark your opening with a dissolvable fabric pen.
6)Start sewing around the outside edges. Remember to backstitch at the beginning and end, so it doesn’t unravel.
7)Cut around the edges of your stiches as close as you can, making sure not to cut the thread.
8)Now repeat for the outside of the bag.
9)Smooth your fabrics. Then flip your inside fabric to where the printed side is on the inside. Then place it inside your outside fabric.
Flip it to where your outside fabric is inside your lining fabric.
10)Pin and sew
11) Now flip it right side out.
12) Roll your opening down, pin, & sew around.
13)Do it again, so that your seam is neat.
14) Place zipper in place and pin on one side. Then sew.
15)Unpin and repin on the other side. Unzip the zipper, Then sew.
16) Your done! YAY Zipit from Etsy is just so fabulous that she is giving Made.By.Jess readers 15% off any order in her etsy shop. Use the code: sewcraftable.
I want to thank Zipit for giving you guys the discount. You can see the quality and awesomeness of her zippers. If you’re a crafter, you’ll realize that this is a really awesome deal.
Hot for the Holidays
Have you ever felt more sexy or confident then when you were wearing something that fits you so perfectly that you feel like it’s a second skin?
Smart and Sexy has you covered. Not only do they have the most beautiful products, they also sell them cheap. They aren’t charging you big bucks to feel as amazing as you can. As a mom, I love this. I can’t be spending too much on bra’s and panties.
Not only do they offer these amazing products cheap, they also give donations to people in need. They donated $200 to feeding America for Thanksgiving.
Adam wanted to get me some lingerie from Victoria’s Secret last year for Christmas. He looked at them {I’m serious here} and his mouth dropped when he seen the price. He was like “Why do they charge so much for something that has basically no material?” Good Question.
Don’t you just feel rockin’ when you are wearing something sexy? The choice of your Bra and Panties usually make or break the day for me. When I was younger, I would choose thongs, or g-strings- but as you grow older they become more and more uncomfortable. I would rather stick to a full sexy panty.
I was sent three items to review.
The first item is the bra.
It isn’t in their online store, but it does resemble this {one} in it’s design. It is an extreme push up bra. It doesn’t feel extremely padded though, and that’s what I love about it. It looks normal, and you can’t see the bulge that is usually seen when someone is wearing a push-up bra.
Believe me. I had a bad case of this in my high school junior year picture. Some people said they didn’t notice when I asked them, but I could definitely tell. You could see the point where the bra didn’t form fit my skin.
No worries with such a thing with this one. It’s like a mold to my body. Not tight, not loose, but just right. This is a type of bra that you want to keep for as long as possible. I actually think it’s better than most bra’s that I have purchased at Victoria’s Secret. This bra is amazing because of the stretch satin fabric. It makes it feel as if it moves with you. It doesn’t grind into my back. It has a double loop in the front that connects the cups together.
It has double straps that make you feel like maybe you aren’t wearing a bra. I’ve had so many bra’s falling off my shoulders because they wouldn’t adjust right. This bra adjusts anyway you need it too. It has 3 closures in the back, so you are getting the perfect fit.
Not only can this be used as an intimate wear to get your love life back in shape, it can also be used as an everyday wear bra. You can wear it anywhere, with no worries. And feel so AMAZING.
What can I tell you? I’m in love.
The second thing I was sent to review was the panties. The panties weren’t online either- but they are most like these. I really liked these panties because they didn’t ride up, or bunch up. I usually wear low-rise jeans and they weren’t poking out of the top for the whole world to see. They have such a soft, stretchy feel that you don’t have to worry about anything feeling uncomfortable, or later wishing you hadn’t worn them.
They fit perfectly, matched the bra perfectly, and made me feel PERFECT. How can that be? It’s in the material {and the price}. The stretchy fabric lets you move as you please, while wearing anything you want over top of them.
The third item was this nightie.
I have always had a problem finding a good fitting lingerie. Most would swallow me whole in the cup sizes. Not this one. It fit so well that Adam was astonished when he seen it. He loved it.
It felt so great against my skin. I hate those ones that make you itch like crazy because of whatever lining they have. This one is soft and comfortable through and through.
You can find this {here} for only $20.

I love cute stuff. I really do. Especially jewelry. I am a jewelry fanatic. I
wear all my rings at the same time {because they are heirlooms from my
grandmother} and usually a necklace or two, a bracelet, and earrings. I am
always on the lookout for something awesome to wear. So when I seen these itty
bitty cupcake charms, necklaces, earrings, and more- I fell in love.
This is Megan
Megan of Pink Sugar Bakery sent me a necklace to review.. Isn’t that awesome
of her? I think so.
The best thing about this necklace {other than you might actually want to
take a bite out of it} is that it is lightweight. It is barely noticeable when
hanging on your neck. You can’t feel it. The pendants & charms are
handcrafted from polymer clay and double sealed with a nice glossy clear-coat to
keep them looking shiny and new
I am allergic to nickel. I always have been. This necklace did NOT break me
out in tiny little bumps that make me feel like I might have poison ivy. It is a
great deal for a great gift.
Christmas is coming up- so you might want to think about putting some of
these items on your list. Tiny little treats to wear around your neck, your
wrist, or anywhere!
She makes more than just necklaces. Rings Earrings
She has an Etsy shop, Cafepress shop, and Zazzle shop
