To inform everyone about why I’m writing this post: I’m a fan of DIY. I think it’s nice to crate things on yours own – it’s fun, easy + you often end up saving (loads) of money, which is always a great advantage in the life of poor me π
During this summer I’m hoping to have time to sew some skirts (I’m sure DesirΓ©e would like to see me wearing some dresses and not just shorts :P), transform some shirts as well as make myself some shorts π I’d also love to have my own little appartment where I could paint the walls in all the colour of the rainbow (not really) and have all kinds of cool interior details! Sadly I’m still living at home (keep in mind I’m 17, studying, and poor π ), so my dream of an appartment of my own will have to wait for a few more years… but beware(!!) of the day I move out!!
I’ll start off by listing some of my summer-projects (+pics) and then some projects I need to save for later ^^
- Shirt transformations:
I’d love to have a shirt like this, sadly no store sells them (or at least I haven’t seen any), and even if they were for sale I’m sure they’d cost far too much!
After I loose some weight I’ll reward myself with a shirt liek this π (once again I think these would cost loads in any store.. and I havent seen these kinds of strappy spaghetti-shirts anywhere)
Sooo cool! (and again, I haven’t seen these in stores + the price would be skyhigh π )
Wasn’t sure whether to put this in shirts or skirts, but it is after ll a shirt transformation, so.. SO COOL! I’ll make a post on this (once I do it) for sure!
Besides these:
– from T-shirt to tube-top
- Skirts
I’m falling in love with waist-belts and pleats…
It looks simpe enough for me to make π + it’s a high waist skirts, which means I’ll be able to wear it without my hips looking too wide π *yay*
Sooooo cute!!! I’d love to make this with a cheryy-fabris and a red bow π
So cute! I looove the buttons and pleats! (I won’t make this in yellow fabric, though..)
- Shorts
Finally shorts that aren’t too short!! (the tutorial is available at FreeUrCloset’s blog here on wordpress – you can get there by clocking on the image)
- Projects for later on in life
Ah, my love for candles is infinite! this is such a cute idea for a porch or something π
perhaps not for windows, but SO CUTE to use in doorways (+ cheapcheap)
*screaming like a teenage belieber* this has got to be the coolest doorway curtain-thing EVER!! I’ll start saving caps today!
Student life π
ahh ^^ (and in case of emergency you can use these to take down your walls… or simply break windows *oopsie*)
And there’s soo much more I’m going to do π I’ll be updating this ”series” of ideas I get as well as adding posts with me actually doing all of this! Beware I’m not the best at using a sewing machine, but I’ll do my best in order for everything I attempt to sew to be wearable π
Peace out! Happy DIY’s to everyone π
