Daniella from Mississippi made her own Scarf Vest – the fleur de lis brooch is an awesome touch! She also made her own Eyeglass Case Clutch, and even covered up the eyeglass case with fabric to pretty it up. Such a good idea. Joell from Seoul, South Korea made a Braided Chain Bracelet. …AND!! Riley …
I know I’ve been going kind of crazy with the in depth sewing projects lately…so here’s a simple, easy necklace. While running errands yesterday, I stopped by Dollar Tree to grab some packaging tape, & spotted this pack of 3 barrettes (for $1). I instantly thought of a mod, retro inspired statement necklace – …
Ombre. Lace. Flowy. Summer, anyone? I’m stating right here from the get go that this project is an adaptation of Mackenzie’s Lace Shirt DIY, over at Strokes of Serendipity. I have recreated this project with her permission! This shirt is more or less what Mackenzie made — I just used a different type of lace and dyed it. I’ve …
My favorite part of summer (besides iced coffee, warm nights & beach volleyball): Summer dresses. The best thing about dresses is that you can easily make one from almost any shirt. By now I think it’s pretty obvious that I love re-purposing old clothes, & this dress is just that. I used a thrifted shirt that’s …
There’s a really good chance you’ve seen the amazing studded trench coats from Burberry’s Spring 2011 line. I think it goes without saying they’re pretty awesome: Burberry.com, SS11 Runway Collection Left to right: $7,295 $5,795 $12,995 Even if I had that pocket change laying around, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to drop …
This is the perfect way to use up all those random pieces and leftovers from past projects. Goodness knows I have 3298478489123million odds n’ ends waiting to be used. I’ve been meaning to make a cluster bracelet for some time…so when I found this wide silver cuff bracelet at H&M, I knew it’d be …
One step DIY’s are the best. Am I right or am I right? I recently made this scarf into a more wearable piece of clothing, by simply cutting two slits. It’s all about where you cut the slits. The best part: you can still wear it as a scarf if you wanted to. Some …
The painted rhinestone jewelry by Tom Binns have caused quite the stir – I’m sure you’ve seen the painted rhinestone necklaces on other DIY fashion blogs. When I saw his jewelry on Net-A-Porter, I knew I that my leftover rhinestone trim from M&J trimming would be perfect for some earring versions! Jenni at I Spy …
I recently did an interview with The Style Net, an Australian based online fashion directory. It’s a really a great fashion resource, even if you don’t live in Australia. Check out the interview here! We talked about everything from DIY to coffee. Be sure to follow The Style Net on Twitter, @the_style_net. My weekend…….was awesome. …
I used to love t-shirt transfers when I was younger, but eventually got fed up at how the image would (inevitably) crack and crease over time. But! A few weeks ago, I thought – if you can’t change the fact that it’s going to crack…why not just run with it? And who says they …
