Señorita Lylo's Embroidered Collars are Ready to Party
These collars are ready to party! Loly Ghirardi (aka Señorita Lylo) is a
Barcelona-based designer and embroiderer who created these colorful pieces. They’re full of tiny, abstract shapes that have a great visual variety—some stitches are very tactile while others are smaller and intricate. I’m especially drawn to the collar with tiny houses on it—the idea of creating a story on this unconventional space.
Loly is a graphic designer by trade. After working on the computer so much, she wanted to “bring a more ‘human touch'” to her projects and incorporated embroidery. She enjoyed it so much that she began working on the types of pieces featured here. Learn more about her in an interview with Poppytalk.

Sew a Beanie Hat - Slouchy Hat Tutorial - Melly Sews
Hey y’all – today I’m sharing a tutorial for these super simple to sew beanie hats. These seriously take like 10 minutes each to sew, making them a perfect last minute gift. (Ask me how I know – because I sewed the bird hat about 10 minutes before this photo shoot).
I used Idle Wild Knits to make these hats. You’ll need 1/2 – 2/3 yard because the knit stretches selvedge to selvedge, but once you get that amount you can make two hats out of it.
To make your pattern, first divide the head circumference for the size you need by 4. Then draw a rectangle that is equal to 1/4 the head circumference wide by the height listed below for the size you need.
After you draw your rectangle, round off the top right corner, then draw a dart that extends down 1/4 of the hat height and 5/8 inch in from the top left corner (left diagram above). Then use that piece as a template; flip it along the vertical dart edge and trace again, then flip the whole hat pattern piece down along the bottom edge and trace both sides again. Finally, cut this pattern piece out on a fold of fabric so you get a piece of fabric that looks like the one below, with a total of 4 darts.
Now I’ve got both a video and written tutorial for you to follow – whichever you prefer. If the video below won’t load for some reason, you can watch how to sew a beanie hat on YouTube here.
Sew the darts on the pattern as shown above and below, using 1/4 inch seams.
Clip into the angled end of each dart so you can press them open flat as shown above and below.
Fold the hat in half, right sides together, matching the darts. Sew around the open edges, leaving an opening on the long side for turning. Make sure to use a stretch stitch; see tips for sewing knits here.
Turn the hat through the opening.
Push half of the hat as lining into the rest of the hat. Pin the opening together and sew it shut with a blind ladder stitch.
Now you have a fully reversible hat, so you can fold up as much or as little of the edge as you choose to make a cuff.
And they even work in mommy and me sets!
Happy sewing!
Happy sewing,

Seattle's Cozy and Cheap Alternative to Landlubber Living
Location: Seattle, Wash.
Price: $145,000
The Skinny: Bobbing in the waters of Lake Union, just to the north of downtown Seattle, this quaint little houseboat offers a different way of life for $145K. Of course, sharing this tiny escape from reality with anyone else might be next to impossible, but the petite quarters are certainly cute enough to keep one occupant happy. Located in a marina slip, the houseboat was rebuilt in 2005 and now has an updated stove, new under-counter fridge, and charming beadboard woodwork. The
commercial-looking marina, guarded by a worn out chain-link fence, is completely bereft of curb appeal, but the novelty of living on the water might overcome any misgivings about the location, especially when downtown is just minutes away.
