Initially, I was going to do this little project on the side, but decided to photograph the steps for s&p anyway. It’s a fun alternative to the usual band shirt vest! For my version I used some floral fabric from a thrifted shirt to make it a little more feminine. See how I made it …

DIY: Leopard Print Suede & Rhinestone Bracelet
Anyone that knows me, knows that I love leopard print. So naturally, I’m loving this particular project. This bracelet was inspired by a piece I saw at Barneys NY, and to be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure if the leather in the original bracelet was supposed to mimic leopard spots. BUT, that’s how …

DIY: Lanyard Stitched Clutch
This was one of those projects that I started without any real direction or idea as to what I was about to do.

DIY: Leather Sleeved Denim Jacket
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 …
