Creative Guest: Funkytime
Hi lovely Ucreate readers! My name is Sibylle (but everbody calls me Billie) and Funkytime is my digital playground. I am a graphic designer/ stylist/ regular German girl with a passion for Photography, DIY Stuff, decorating, fleamarkets & pretty vintage things … I am also married to Thomas and we have two kids, Louisa and Noah. We've been traveling quite a bit, from Germany to Los Angeles to Canada... our next destination will hopefully be Australia, because our dream is to be in a tattered old cottage by the sea!
Today I will show you, how to transform some $15 plain cork wedges using fabric and mod podge. I did recently a similar project which you can find here.
Total cost for the makeover including shoes were $25. It took me about 4 hours to finish both shoes. 
- Cork Wedges - Fabric (not too thick) - Ribbon - Bows - Mod Podge - Felt 
1.-2. Lay fabric on the shoe. 3. Trace the edge, where the denim hits the wedge. 4. Cut along your trace. 5. Cut fabric on the upper part, you have to kind of guess the shape. Later you can adjust. 
1.-2. Brush mod podge evenly with a medium sized brush on the denim of the shoe. 3. Start gluing fabric from the bottom to the top. Glue as you go. 4.-5. *Optional* Lay piece of fabric against the inside of the shoe and trace, cut and glue. 6. Make little cuts in the curves, so the fabric does not make folds. 
1.-2. Brush the buckle with mod podge. Cut 1inch x 3inch piece of fabric and wrap around the buckle. 3. Cut a 2 inch white piece of fabric, fold it in half and sew a ruffle. 4.-5. Attach the ruffle to the shoe by sewing it. *I know, this is a real pain in the butt!* 6. Cut ribbon to the right length, lay it over the ruffle and sew to shoe. 7. Cut fabric for the peep hole, glue on to the shoe.
The mod podge can get a little stiff when it’s dry, so to make it comfortable in the back, glue a piece of felt to the strap. Last but not least: Paint your toenails red, slip your feet into your new creation and walk the walk! Enjoy jealous looks from other girls….;-)

My First Quilt Market Experience
I had the opportunity to attend the International Quilt Market in Salt Lake City this year and it was a wonderful time…extremely overwhelming with so many rockin’ vendors…but it was a blast! Instead of sharing the GAZILLION pics I took, I’ll just share some of my very favorite moments…
This Sandi Henderson booth was one of my faves! So gorgeous!!
I had to get a pic with the Dewberry’s, of course! You already know how I feel about Joel and Laurie…two of my favorite people!
How beautiful is this booth by mother/daughter duo Camille and Bonnie!?
I had the chance to finally meet Camille in person and she’s just the sweetest!!
Funny thing, as we were walking to quilt market we ran into two adorable strangers on the street and we started talking and having a fun conversation about shoes…well, come to find out later it was Chelsea from Pink Fig {who I’ve worked with many times} and her fabulous friend Lucy from Hot Scott Patterns! Becky and I hit it off immediately with these two gals…
…and can I just show you Chelsea’s rad shoes?!!
LOVE Jana from Izzy & Ivy…WOW she’s creative and fun!! I can’t wait to get started on a few of her darling patterns!
The Michael Miller booth had a super hero theme and was incredible!!!
I have to say meeting my friends Jennifer Paganelli in person and Carla from the Scientific Seamstress was one of the highlights of the whole experience! Seriously…even though she had a huge line for her book signing she was so awesome to stop and visit. I could hang out with these two ladies all day!
I was surrounded by so much inspiration and it was awesome to see many new trends and fabric lines!! Many people ask what my favorite thing to create is. The answer? QUILTS!
Get ready to see many fabulous quilt features on Ucreate this week!
