diy pocket tee

   
    Today, I would like to announce I will be starting a DIY summer series and this blog post is part one of six. This summer series will have anything form seashell bracelets to a pretty pocket tee. Through this series I hope to attract more readers and grow as a blog. The tutorial I will be showing you today is how to make a simple pocket tee. I have gotten a lot of compliments on this shirt so I thought I would make a tutorial. If you are a beginner sewer or beginner DIYer, then this is for you or even if you have sewn or DIYed for years, this is for you too! The tutorial is pretty simple it only has a few steps.

Supplies:
-solid color tee (something like this)
-fabric (fat quarter)
-scissors
-sewing machine
-pocket pattern

1. Gather materials (make sure to wash your tee and fabric).

2. Cut out pattern (here).

3. Pin on fabric and cut out (two prices).

4. Put right sides together.

5. Sew all sides but leave a small opening at the top (like below).

6. Turn back inside out.

7. Fold over your opening and sew down the top.

 

8. Pin on your shirt and sew down (make sure you only sew on the front of your shirt not back).

Tadaa, you have made your first pocket tee!

How to wear it:

This tee is great  with some shorts, jeans, a skirt, just about anything. The great part is it gives your old tee some new life! 

 Enjoy and have a lovely day. xo

interview // chic & pure

    Update: Chic & Pure has now changed her blog to She Wears Prep
    For this months blog posts I decided to do an interview. I knew I had found the perfect girl to do it on when I came across her blog through a comment. I asked her a few basic questions and she gave me some lovely responses. She is a new blogger, she is sixteen, her name is Nathalie and lives in Belgium. To learn more about her, read below!

1. What is your blog and what is it about?

Chic and Pure is a brand new lifestyle blog where I share things that happen in my life, things I enjoy, my thoughts, my style and just over all how the world looks through my eyes.

2. How long have you been blogging?

I've been blogging for, I think, 5 months now, with a break of 2 months. I wanted to wait to really get into blogging until I got my Macbook Pro, which was last month. So now I’m absolutely going for it, and trying to make high quality posts!

3. Do you have any blogging tips?

I’d say, get yourself a camera (good quality camera preferred). A computer on which you can edit the photos (brightness, light, composure,…) and a Blogger/Wordpress account. Just make sure your content is good and speaks to the right audience. It’s not about the number of followers, it’s about if you enjoy doing it or not.

4. Why did you start blogging?

I stared blogging because I spent a lot of time reading blogs, watching Youtube lifestyle/fashion vloggers. After a while I realized, that only reading them wasn't enough for me, I wanted to be a part of this wonderful word myself!

I couldn't be happier that I made that decision 5 months ago, I am thankful for all the people I already got to know, and every comment makes my day brighter!

5. What is your favorite part of your blog?

My favorite part of my blog must be my header picture and my signature, which were designed by Suzana of This Girl Design, she also designed my whole blog template. You can find her on Etsy, she is the nicest person to work and communicate with!
