Tutorial: Make Your Own T-Shirt Scarf
While Luke and I are taking in the glorious sights of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road, and Adelaide, Kim from Petit Pas has come over to share an awesome tutorial with you! Please make her feel welcome by leaving her lovely comments, and then going over to check out the beautiful blog she shares with her husband, Morgan.

As things are starting to cool down for all of us in the Southern Hemisphere, my sister asked me to
make her a scarf. I bought one made from curled jersey fabric last year off etsy, so decided I wanted
to give it a go and make one myself and share how to make it with you while Talia’s away…
Materials.
All you need to make this scarf is an old t-shirt with no side seams, some scissors, a measuring tape,
some chalk and a sowing machine (you could hand sow it too if you don’t have a machine).
Step 1: First you need to cut off the waist band/hem at the bottom of the t-shirt and cut off
the top half where the sleeves start.
Step 2: Next you want to cut strips out of the shirt width ways in 1.5 inch intervals.
Measure and mark 1.5 inch down both sides to help with the cutting.
Step 3: Once you have cut all the strips you need to stretch the strips out. This will create
the curling effect and will also finish the edges so they don’t frey.
Step 4: Finally, collect all the strands together and sow them down. Now you have a
pretty new scarf to keep you warm. Depending the width of you shirt, you should be able to wrap it
around a few times and try many different things.
enjoy.

Wedded Bliss
So some pretty awesome friends got married on the 1st of May. Their wedding was perfectly them, and SO much fun! I loved it- one of the best weddings I think I’ve EVER been to!
Here are some of my favourite snaps of the day. I love the details. xo
Tim, the guy who married them is the same Pastor who married us.
Two of our beautiful friends- Gaby and Sarah.
An unconventional way of signing the register…
This Kim’s brother and a friend. They played Love Cats while they signed the register! It was awesome and everyone was singing along!
Morgan is french and the had a bit of a french ‘theme’ happening. This must have been a family friend? and she played the accordian. It was so fun.
Me, the bride, and Naomi.
They had all these tea cups set out with little sayings tied to them. You took one as you got a drink, but then you got to take it home! It doubled as the bombinere! This is such a good idea, no?!
Instead of like a guest book, they had slips of paper and coloured pens that you could write some kind words onto.
And then you pegged them up to the line in the courtyard!
Handmade bunting! I totally love bunting, and after this I am very inspired to make my own! Great for birthday parties!
They had heaps of pretty flowers in random bottles on the tabels scattered around! So beautiful!
Last, but definitely not least- the bouquet. Is it not GORGEOUS! I seriously thought it was beautiful!!

Kim’s Kitchen Tea
I love my friend Kim. She is fun, and ALWAYS smling. Her fiance, Morgan, is great. He’s cool, hip, and lots of fun too. I think they are the most beautiful pair.
Last Sunday was her Kitchen Tea, and we celebrated and gave lots of pressents and played some games. I love games at events like these.
All these photos were shot of my Canon 400D. Aperture/SS etc. vary. Sorry- was trying to capture the moment and not focus on the details too much!
