Now that it’s officially fall, it’s time for some flannel projects! This one was inspired by a shirt I spotted on Free People’s website; I happened to have everything I needed to recreate it, so of course I went right to it. This is a great project for those of you learning how to sew, too. …
A couple weeks ago, I stopped by the Stetson showroom on 38th in NYC. I absolutely loved how much vintage Stetson pieces were used as a decor, and in the archives. Everything from notes from past meetings to preserved hats to matchbooks. Thanks to the rad Daryl at Stetson, I was able to create a …
An ongoing long term goal of mine is to use up the fabric leftovers in my stash in unique ways. I even have an entire board on Pinterest for scrap fabric projects so that I stay inspired. This little (big?) endeavor of mine is how this project came about…that, and adoring everything lace. Especially in …
It’s been a long while since I did a gloves project, so here’s one for this winter! It’s extremely quick and easy, but still very much quirky and cute. I used liquid gilding (by the Martha Stewart Craft line) and a rhinestone flat back to create the illusion of a ring. I’d recommend applying a …
I’ve had this idea brewing in my mind all summer, but didn’t find the perfect materials until recently. Using two pairs of loose fitting pants (below), I made a romper in about a day (above). It might seem complicated at first, but I promise it isn’t! I’d recommend reading through the entire process a few …
I love mixing and matching fabrics in a piece of clothing. I’ve always wanted a denim jacket with leather sleeves, and I recently realized I have all of the things I needed to make one. This wasn’t originally going to be DIY for s&p, but I figured I’d share the process if you’d like …
I call these “faux turban” headbands because they aren’t wrap around headbands made of only fabric. They can also pass for a head scarf tied around your head (because of the middle knot). In reality, they’re just conventional headbands wrapped in fabric, with a knot carefully placed. I made these because no matter how much …
This project brings back memories, in more than one way. 1) I loved lanyard when I was a kid, and I clearly remember making sooo many keychains and bracelets. 2) This DIY reminds me of S&P’s first ever project, the Braided Chain Bracelet, from last summer. And 3) My entire bedding set during my Freshman year of college …
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 …
