Here it is; the latest installment in the J Crew (crew cuts) knock off series. The silk swing tank: retail $39.50.....our price...$2. The sacrifice here is that our version is not silk habotai. Sorry...Joann's did not carry that, what a surprise!! I purchased a silk look alike fabric which was easy to sew but did fray quite a bit. So, here is my super easy version of their tank. I'm sure there is a more proper way to sew this that takes twice as long, but my version is just the easier way. And I am finding these days that if I want to get more things done, I am having to take the easier route.

Next, with wrong side of fabric facing you, fold up 1/2 inch and press. Then open it up (as shown in left pic). Now fold edge of fabric to the pressed line. Press again.

Turn fabric up on original pressing line and pin. (so it should be folded to the first line, folded over again to the 2nd line and pinned).

My girls hair accessories were getting out of control. So I made this organizer today to keep it all organized. It is super simple and the pockets are great for keeping headbands and rubberbands.

To make the hair pretty organizer you will need the following supplies:

1-large photo frame (shown here 20x24 frame)

1-piece of fabric (mine is 24x44)

1-foam core board

1 pkg. extra wide double fold bias tape

1 piece of lightweight batting (the same size as your frame + 2 in. on either side)

1 pkg. 3/8 in. lightweight clear elastic (you may substitute ribbon or ric-rac

Step 1: Spread your ironed fabric under the frame. Cut, making sure to leave 2 inches on either side of the fabric for tucking in.

Step 2: Measure your poster board so it fits snugly inside your frame. Cut with exacto knife or scissors. Be Careful!!!

Step 3- Make a pocket template. On a separate piece of fabric, trace around and cut two. Make sure you have added 1/4 in. seam allowance to the sides and bottom. (If you do not want to include pockets, skip this step.)

Step 4- Turn to wrong side of fabric. Iron the sides, then bottom under 1/4 inch. Then open up and add your bias tape to the top. Make sure the shorter side is on the right side of fabric. Iron the sides again.

Step 5- Place your fabric (right side up) on the foam core board. Get the placement how you would like, then mark the corners.

Step 6- Place the pockets where you would like them, then pin. Now sew the pockets on.

Step 7- Take your piece of batting and tape it to the foam core board. I used packing tape.

Step 8- Get your clear elastic and place it onto your fabric how you would like it. (I used three strands to make sure I had enough room for large bows.)

Step 9- Mark the ends and sew according to the package directions. Make sure you are doing this far enough out of the framing area so it doesn't show. (I found the elastic to be hard to sew but I like the clear look of it not competing with my pattern. If you use elastic, make sure to stretch it a bit.)

Step 10- Once you have it sewn, grab your fabric and arrange it to line up against the foam board with the markings you made previously. Pull taught and staple to the back. (I also hot-glued to reinforce.) Q32SJQFVEY9W

Step 11- Secure the board into the frame. Turn it over. Add hair flair. Hang. Admire!

Have a great weekend!
