Hiya! I have something new for you today! This is refashion and recycling in one.

I used this plastic bottle:

Then glued a denim strap around it...

...added some lace trim...

 And Voila!

 Very simple and easy! I hope you like it!

Hubby's Sweater :)

Hey there! I've been wearing my hubby's sweater a lot lately, because it got so cold and rainy here and I needed something cozy to keep me warm. Well he finally gave it up and now it's officially mine! :)

And of course I refashioned it a bit... (it was way too big)

I took the sides a bit to make it smaller and stitched some grey lace around the edges and there you go:

 Now all I need is large cup of coffee! :)

I hope you liked it!

Refashioning Baby Clothes :)

Hello, my dear dear readers! First: Thank you! to everyone who is following my blog! Second: Thank you! for all the nice comments on my posts! And third: Sorry I couldn't reply to your comments, I've been so busy and distracted... I know this is not an excuse when it comes to paying attention to you, I do love every single comment, but I'm terrible with replying on time!

Here is what has been keeping me busy: very good friend of mine is having a baby girl soon and she asked me to help refashioning some clothes. I want to make sure this little sunshine will have the most unique and trendy clothes :) and this is what I've done so far.

I've turned this lovely boy's t-shirt into a girls one with a little bit of lace trim and a ribbon bow. A simple white onesie and shoes refashioned with some lace and bows:

I hope you liked it! It's been so fun to work on tiny cute clothes. Can't wait to finish the rest and see my friend's face when I give them to her. :)

See you soon!

DIY: Refashioning Old Tee

Hey there, we meet again! :))

There is something new for you today - simple and effective refashion.

 I turned this old Tee into an elegant top:

All I did was to cut the asymmetric edges on each side and attach some black lace trim.

And Voila!

  

I also attach flower made with the same lace trim. Here is a closer look:

I hope you liked it!

See you soon!

The Dress! :)

Well I'm finally ready with my wedding dress! I'm so happy with it, it turned out just as I planned. :)

There will be a little change on the dress, but it's a surprise, you'll see it on the wedding photos. :)

I'll post a tutorial soon how to copy the dress. I hope you liked it!

See you soon! xx

DIY: Distressed Jeans With Lace

Hi there! How have you been? I'm ok thanks! :))

I had an old pair of distressed jeans I couldn't decide what to do with, so I tried to add lace underneath the holes that will make them look better and will close the holes a bit. :)

I cut 2 pieces of white stretchy lace and stitched it underneath.

The stitch will hold the holes closer and the lace will cover them.  There is very very close look:

I can't wait to wear them again! I hope you liked it!

DIY: Refashion With Lace

Hello, my dear lovely readers! I've got some new refashion for you today. All you need for it is an old tank top, lace trim and needle and tread. :)

First you gather the lace trim with the needle and the tread and stitch it around the neck line... 

...then again...

...and again...

... 'til you run out of lace trim (like me) or 'til you get the desirable look. :)

I found attached by the underarms of the top little straps that people usually use to hang the clothes with... but I think they're annoying and always cut them off straight away. Luckily I kept these long enough to use them for making a small ribbon flower for the top. I hope you liked it! See you soon!

DIY: Little Black Dress Refashion

I've got this lovely little black dress from a friend of mine. But it was too small around the bust for me, so I refashioned it a bit. :) This is what it used to look like:

 And this is the result:

All I did was to remove the sleeves and stitch a lace trim around. Then mark the point where the zip is not closing anymore and stitch more lace from that point to the neck line. At the end I just attached a piece of black elastic to hold the edges of the neck line. And Voila! The dress is now my size. :)

I hope you liked it!

Refashioning Tank Top

Hey hey hey! I've got another interesting refashioning for you. 

I picked up this old tank top to give it a new life. :) Cut out a heart from lace fabric and pin it down on the back of top.

And then just stitch around the edges and cut the fabric from the top so only the lace will show.

Ta daah! 

And a closer look. :) This is the back, but I think it will look good in front too.

I hope you liked it! See you soon!

Quick Jeans Refashion

Very quick, very effective and very cheap refashion. All I did was to cut the jeans short and stitch white lace trim over the pockets.

 I hope you liked it!

Thanks for stopping by!

White Jacket Tutorial

I had an old white jacket hiding somewhere in my wardrobe. It wasn't trendy at all, but I never got the courage to trow it away. After some spring cleaning I found it and thought of a way to re-style it, so I could wear it again. :)

All I did was to cut it very short - just under the bust line and hemmed it. I added black lace trim on each sleeve ( which originally was to cover a coffee stain) :).

I used the pockets for a new belt purse. Just added white lace and nice belt buckle.

This is one of the most simple re-styles I did and I'm very happy with the way it looks now.

I hope you liked it!

Thanks for the reading! :)

Winter White Snowflakes

I love lace and knitwear! And I love scarfs!

So... I made a white lace scarf...

(all you need for it is a piece of white lace, fold it at sew the ends together)

... and a white knitted scarf   :)

(my yarn is thin and with sequins, just knit a wide and long piece and sew the ends together)

Can't wait to start snowing!

I want a white Christmas!

Thank you for the reading! :)

Glittery :)

I found that amazing skirt in some online magazine and felt in love with it straight away. :)
Donna Karan Sequinned Draped Skirt

All you need for it is black jersey or Lycra and black lace with sequins.

I found the fabric at the local market for £4 all together. 

Cut 2 pieces of the jersey (a bit longer than you want the skirt to be) and sew them together.

Gather the fabric on both sides.

Cut 2 pieces of the lace (2cm wider than the jersey skirt).

The length of the lace pieces must be double the length of the jersey skirt.

Sew the lace together and gather the fabric on both sides again.

Put the jersey skirt inside the lace skirt and attach where the seams are along the sides.
And Voila!

I picked up black boob tube top and nice mesh scarf to complete the look.

I hope it was helpful!

Thank you for the reading!

Have a happy happy day today!

Feeling Lacy

Re-fashioning an old jacket.

All you need is a jacket and lace trim.

My trim is 5cm wide, but you can pick up any size you like.

Cut the sleeves and gather the lace trim around the edge.

Stitch two pieces of the trim at the back and tie them in a bow.

And Voila!

Your old jacket is feeling lacy and elegant. :))

Thank you for the reading!

See you tomorrow with more DIY! :)

Hello Hello Hello

So.. I'm new to all blogging stuff, so I hope I'll get it right! :) 

This is gonna be a blog for everything that inspires me, stuff I made from scratch or just re-fashioning some old items. And I hope you'll like it! :))

And because is getting pretty cold outside, my fist post will be about some cosy scarfs I made couple of weeks ago.

Something elegant from shiny mesh fabric.

It's a perfect match to the feather headband I bought from "Poundland" :)

The necklace is actually part of a trim I used for a belly dance outfit. :)

Pink mesh with some ruffles makes an awesome light scarf.

Black mesh fabric and nude colour lace trim.

Re-fashioning old t-shirt with some ribbon flowers and bows.

Of course it's pink again. :)

A closer look...

Pink lace fabric in combination with white lace trims.

And yeah... I really like pink! :))))
