DIY Chocker

Chockers are back in style. Here is an easy way to make your own.
These are the things that I used, but you can go and be as creative as you want with the materials you've got around the house.

1. some of my magic music ribbon
2. some adornments I bought in a mercery shop
3. one shoulder pad
4. white thread and scissors

Below, I'll give you the basic steps:
1. Start by sewing the margins of the ribbon

2. Sew the adornments on the shoulder pad.

3. Then, sew the ribbons at the margins of the shoulder pad.

4. And the beautiful result.

Are you ready for spring?

DIY Painting Project

I am very much dedicated to reusing stuff. Probably, you have already noticed that. So when my scale broke, I decided to make something beautiful out of it.
It being made of wood made things easier.

What I used:
- a broken scale
- string and ultra strong adhesive tape

- scissors, brushes and acrylic paint

Since the scale was rather heavy, I braided three equal strings in order to make sure that the hanger holds the weight.

Then, I glued the hanger using the adhesive tape (yeah, it doesn't look very elegant).

I used white acrylic paint and a brush for the background.

Pastel and flower were the two words I had in mind when I started this, so I went wild.

And here it is: a colorful painting obtained from a wooden scale.

Dress refreshing

We all hate it when our favorite item of clothing becomes frayed. Below you'll find an idea of how you can fix the problem and continue to wear your item of clothing.
My lovely red dress showed signs of wearing away.

I had some shoulder pads and I decided to use one of them to cover the fray. But before sewing it on the dress, I thought about decorating it with embroidery.

I used one of the stitches of my sewing machine.

Then, I sew it on my dress.

And the beautiful result of my work

Are you dreaming about spring too?!

Yellow Sweater Revival

Sometimes the odds are that the washing machine decides what goes out or comes into one's wardrobe. I know that now after years and years of experience. And so it happens that recently it decided about my husband’s sweater, which went out of his wardrobe and proudly became one of the items in my wardrobe.

Check it out.

I did not want to make other drastic changes to it, so I thought about some ribbon in order to make it look better on my body.

I cut the ribbon into two equal pieces and sew them by hand at the back of the sweater.

Here they are tied into a bow

In order to give it a more feminine look, I made a low cut and sewed by the sewing machine the upward hem.

I decided to sew the cleavage hem by hand.

Tanaaa!

Start the year in style!
