DIY Life Magazine Inspired Retro Wrap Top Tutorial from Freshly Given.

Whitney at Freshly Given got her inspiration for this DIY wrap top after looking through vintage ads. In the comments someone asked how long and wide the finished blouse was. Whitney’s response was:

I just measured: width 20 inches, length 20 inches. These measurements are based on the top being folded in half at the shoulder/ neck area. So the width is shoulder to shoulder and the length is top of shoulders to bottom of waist.

Other DIY Wrapped Blouses Using this Pattern

Rhinestic’s Knic Knacks’ Version here. The neckline is different on her blouse. Note: Life Magazine Collage at the top came from this site.

Smunch’s Version here. The neckline is different and the sash doesn’t go across the entire back - just on the sides.

Recyled Fashion’s Tie Dye Version. Her tie goes from back to front to back and is tied in the back.

Meg the Grand’s Version. She wished that she had used fabric that looked more the same on the right and wrong sides. 

decided to take a bunch of photos of my eye for ref

since eyes always look vastly different shapes and i dont feel like that has enough rep in art styles sometimes?

anyway if other people do this i’d love to see. have more eyes to add to my ref folder and all that

Odd question. But can you post a closeup on your personal preference on how to hold a knocked arrow when you draw?

As you can see in a lot of my pictures, I prefer the Mediterranean Draw, even though I shoot a Mongolian Horsebow as well as the English Longbow. The reason for this is simply that I was taught the Mediterranean Draw when I first picked up archery and I just stuck with it. It is what works best for me!

I hope this was helpful :)

how do u do this ? what program is this ??
