How Do U Like Them Apples?: Third Thursdays with Tash: Trash to Headboard
How Do U Like Them Apples?: Third Thursdays with Tash: Trash to Headboard: Hey Readers-Tash here! Have you ever dumpster dived? I really don’t normally, but our apartment complex seems to collect interesting trash...
The headboard hung around, taking up space in the cramped hallway that is the laundry room, until we could gather all of the supplies to upholster it. You have no idea how weird the discussion was on upholstering. I thought, “A big piece of plywood, foam, fabric, and buttons. Attach it to the headboard and you’re done!” Spencer thought, “Buttons look like a giant pillow.” Apparently a framed giant buttoned pillow is not what you sleep under. It will cause nightmares or something!
The discussion on fabric was weird too. I never thought I would be trying to talk my husband out of a color he doesn’t like. Initially I walked past the fabric we chose. Even though it perfectly matched the style we wanted, it looked too pink to me. Spencer insisted it’s not pink, it’s warm with gold undertones. Well when he put it so eloquently how could I resist?

| See I helped! There are my toes :) |
Once we obtained all of our materials it took us all of Labor Day weekend to put the pieces together. By us I mean Spencer, with a little help from me when he needed four hands. We put it together faster than I could take pictures too. One moment it was a mock up, then a lattice, then done!

| My husband is so good at drilling, he only needs one hand :) |
Here’s the cost break down:
Headboard- Free!
Plywood- leftovers from other projects, Free!
Foam- $20, but we only used half
Fabric- $8
Hardware- approx. $200.
Total- $228

How to add a Peter Pan Collar to Any Top
Peter Pan collars are everywhere right now...
From J.Crew...
To Anthropologie...
You'll find them on t-shirts, sweaters, and dresses. The bad news? Tops like the ones above can be priced up to $98, which, as cute as they are, I'm not willing to spend on a shirt. The good news? You don't have to spend $98! Most of us already have one (or three) sweaters or dresses in our closet that can easily be transformed, and today I'm going to show you how!
Ready to take this...
To this?
Let's get started...
Materials:
round necked top (or dress) - remember that if you're using a sweater with a small neck opening that relies on stretch to get over your head, that adding a non-stretchy collar might make it difficult to get the sweater on - make sure you'll still be abe to wear the sweater after the collar is added :)
cotton scraps large enough to cut 4 front/back collar pieces
mid-to-heavy-weight fusible interfacing (I used Pellon 930F)
Instructions:
1. Fold your top in half as pictured. Try to keep the natural shape of the curve in place.
2. To make your collar pattern, trace the curve between center front to center back.
3. Sketch your collar shape on each end of the curve as desired - I made the front collar a bit larger than the back.
4. Trace around the entire collar, 1/2" away on all sides (to account for seam allowance).
5. Cut your pattern out and use it to cut 4 collar pieces out of your fabric, plus 4 pieces out of interfacing (I had to adjust my curved seam allowance to 1/4" to fit the pattern piece on my fabric).
6. Fuse interfacing to each collar piece.
7. Right sides together, stitch two collar pieces together along outer curve (inner curve will remain open). Trim seam allowance to 1/8". Repeat with remaining two collar pieces.
8. Turn collar right side out and press flat. Topstitch along outer curve 1/4" away from edge. Repeat with other collar piece.
9. Serge the inner curve, removing NO fabric with the serger blade, or zig-zag stitch along inner curve. Repeat with other collar piece.
10. Mark center front and center back of top with pins and pin collar to wrong side as pictured (the more pins the merrier, especially if sewing with one stretchy and one non-stretchy fabric. The collar should overlap the neck edge 1/2".
11. Stitch along pinned edge, attaching collar to top. Repeat steps 10-11 with other collar piece.
12. Fold collars over and press flat in place against top.
13. Topstitch around entire neckline and collars, 1/4" from folded edge of collar.
You are done!
Enjoy your new Peter Pan top!
