DIY Fashion

So the mother and I are all booked for a 3 hour beginners class on how to use a sewing machine. I am not a complete beginner...I did do textiles at school..not even sure that counts but I did make a dip dye skirt! Anyway I am really excited. I have been waiting to do this since forever. Making and customising clothes has always been something I have wanted to do so hopefully with the aid of this course I will be all set! So in preparation I have been searching the web for some ideas and I am going to show you a few of my fav DIY's.

This blog is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. 'A Pair & a Spare' - a girl called Geneva gives you the low down on absolutely everything DIY. I spent a few hours last night going through it and have got sooo many ideas for after my course. Her DIY projects are simple and easy to do...well she makes it look like this anyway. This is her 'How to DIY' step by step - as you can see it is so simple.

A plain midi skirt transformed in to a lovely cut-out summer dress.

And would you believe me if I said this dress was made out of some rugs? Defo check this blog out guys!

Another good blog is that of Jennifer Le's. Strapped for cash and need a clutch that no one else has? Jennifer is your girl. This clutch is so simple to do! Add some studs and wola. Unique one of a kind clutch in around 10 mins! Here's the tutorial.

Once you start looking for DIY jobs you don't stop but it is so much fun, and if you can save some cash why not?
