D.I.Y // AMPERSAND LOVE

Being crafty allows you to create pieces to call it your own and yours alone. 

This project is derived from my obsession over typography more specifically ampersand. Last week, I spotted an ampersand sweater but the material shed too much to my own liking, so I decided to tackle on my first DIY project, of course you can change whatever symbol you want. 

Counting down to Christmas...

November is nearing the end. And next thing you know Christmas is just 24 days away.... isn't this such a cute Advent Calendar. I would make one if I had my nieces and nephews around.

DIY: Elastic Headband

I've been in such a DIY mood... it's been crazy. So after a trip to the local fabric store I finally sewed a couple of headbands from the trim I bought. After a failed first attempt... I got my sewing mojo and successfully sewed 4 sets of headbands. I'm still on a hunt for the sequence lace trim. So I can make some more. I styled my hair with the short chignon hair that the Beauty Department showed. It's a very bohemian look that I much adore. Now get your sewing kit ready and sew away.

Button it up.

I've been feeling quite crafty recently and with winter upon us I decided to change the buttons of my black winter coat. I opted for a change with these distressed silver button with the coat of arms. I say it turned out great. Totally a good way to give your clothing a refresh especially if you are on a low budget!
