All you need are some tree branches, lovely little vase with some vase filler and a spray paint.

I used this is beauty my mum made for me long time ago.

After you spray paint the branches, leave them to dry really good. Position them in the vase and fill it up with the filler to make it stable (I used cheap marbles I found in "Poundland")

And Voila!

I hope you liked it!
See you soon!

I couldn't decide which one I like more, so I used both ideas on my refashion.

This is how it started:

All you need is pair of scissors, needle and thread and some sticky gems.

Cut along the neckline and hem.

I covered the brand logo with the gems, creating a heart. 

And Voila!

I hope you liked it!

See you soon!

Festive Sparkling Pillow From Sequined Tank Top

Hiya,

continuing with more pillow covers this is what I made from an old sequined tank top.

I really liked this pillow and remembered I had a top just for it.

I kinda forgot to take a before picture hence the funny paint design. :)

All you need to do is cut as shown, stitch the ends and Ta-dah!

The fabric was very stretchy so I decided to use a rectangular pillow instead of a square one. Please ignore the rough hand stitch at the bottom :)

I hope you like it. 

See you soon.

From the first one you can make the pillow cover and the second is for the ruffles.

I hope you like it.

See you soon!

DIY: Fold Over Stripy Clutch

Hello! I've got a clutch tutorial for you. I bought an amazing pair of stripy shoes, but couldn't find a purse to match, so I'm gonna make one. :)  I got some sleeves I cut out long ago from a creamy denim jacket:

I cut 2 pieces of the fabric:

And stitched them together leaving one side open:

I made the stripes with some markers and crayons:

:)

 Then I put some snap buttons and an elastic strap and folded it:

And this is how it looks when it's open:

I used the same yellow elastic to put a straps on the shoes, because it's wasn't very comfortable without any support. And Voila!

So, what do you think? :)

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!

DIY: Purple Refashion

Hello! I've got another refashion for you. This time is purple and elegant. :)

I had some scrap fabric in a lighter purple shade. All you need to do is cut long straps out of it.

Then make 3 braids out of the straps.

I cut the hem around the neck line.

Then cut out a hole on the back of the blouse.

All you need to do after that is stitch the braids around the neck line and around the hole.

And Voila!

So what do you think?

DIY: Simple Zip Clutch

Hello there, long time no see! :) Today I've prepared for you very easy DIY tutorial. We're gonna make a simple zip clutch bag. All you need is some old magazine, masking tape, a zip, some fabric and needle and tread. 

Get the cover from the magazine and apply the tape all over it. Then lay it over the fabric to measure how much you need to cover the both sides. And here is Stressy trying to figure out what am I doing.:)

Sew the fabric around the magazine cover, then fold and sew the sides along. It must look like this:

All that's left is to insert the zip. I chose a light pink one for mine.

And Voila! I just stitched the ends of the zip together.

I have flowers accessories that can be used as a decoration on the clutch.

I hope you liked it! See you soon! xx

DIY: Wedding Ring Cushion

This is a short tutorial how to make your own wedding ring cushion. All you need is 2 pieces of white jersey; 2 pieces of  white lace; red ribbon; scissors; needle and tread and some left cut outs or tissues.

Stitch the pieces of jersey on each side leaving one side open. Then do the same with the lace. You should now have 2 pocket-like pieces. Insert the jersey pocket into the lace one.

Then fill it in with tissues or left cut outs of fabric. Stitch the open side to close it. Then wrap the red ribbon around. I stitch the ribbon to the cushion at the crossing part so it won't move.

Then make a nice bow that will hold your wedding rings. And Voila!

I hope you like it! I haven't decided yet if I want to put lace trim around the edges of the cushion or not. What do you think?

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!

DIY: 2 in 1 Dress And Skirt

I've got an easy DIY tutorial for you today. It's about how to make a pretty summer dress and a skirt. All you need is: 

2 pieces of white lycra for the body and  to cut a circle piece from chiffon fabric. If you have some of the chiffon fabric left keep it for now - we're gonna use it for the decoration. Sew the both lycra pieces along the side.

Then attach the chiffon circle piece and stitch again. I left the edges raw and distress them with a needle. 

The leftovers from the chiffon cut into small circles.

Gather them and stitch onto the top part of the dress.

And Voila! You can wear it as a pretty summer dress. 

Or a skirt.

I hope you've enjoyed it! See you soon!

DIY: Miu Miu Inspired Sandals

Hello again! I've prepared an easy DIY tutorial for you. You all have probably seen the famous Miu Miu sequin socks. Well I've decided to try something a little bit different, but in the same theme.

I thought of embellishing an old pair of sandals.

 

All you need is lace trims, sequins and needle and tread.

I stitched the lace trim and and some of the sequins first.

And then the rest.. And that's it! Very very easy!

So... what do you think?! Shall I stitch more sequins or leave it like that???

Have an amazing day! See you soon!
