Home made cushion covers

Redecorating my room also ment new bed linen, and new bed linen ment new cushion covers! Because redecorating is not a cheap business I made my new cushion covers myself. The fabric is officially supposed to be used for curtains, so it is thick, good quality. The golden covers are nice and shiny, the black ones are soft because it is a wool-fabric.

Now, because not all of you are as handy with a sewing machine or too busy to be... I have also put them up for sale. For the Dutchies among you, they are on Marktplaats.

For the black one, click here (sold out).

For the golden one, click here.

Black Asymmetric Top

Of course... before I start a late HAPPY NEW YEAR!

First post of 2012, many more to come :).

Meet my black asymmetric top. The materail has a slight stretch. It took just two parts to make it, front and back. On the left side I did not cut out a sleeve, just a huge triangle starting from somewhere between the hip and waistline. After sewing the parts together I put the top on the doll (don't know how to translate 'paspop' into english haha!) and I started modeling it by cropping up the left part to create a sleeve. Because it was a little bit too long the right side is also cropped up to make it really asymmetric :). I already received lots of positive reactions from friends, love it. It is a great party outfit, simple but chic :). And even better, no copy-cats ;)...

Same old me, new style!

Inspired by the inspiration placed on facebook by a friend of mine I started drawing again. But I wanted to try something new... after I finished the drawing part I cut out the girl, replaced the background with aluminium foil, used wrapping paper for the goblet, and normal black coloured paper... I have no clue where the original photo comes from, but thank you ;), love it!! And my version... is decorating my room :).

Have a home made christmas :)

All you need: christmas ribbons, a candle, cinnamon sticks, fake cherries/berries, mushrooms and red peppers or anything else! Put it all together on a nice garland (a real one, please!!), use iron strings to secure the decorations.. and voila! Ho Ho Ho... Merry Christmas!

Wreck a Bag!

I like canvas bags, I do. But I never use them, because most of them are boring... Last week I bought a new jacket and it came with a black canvas bag. Black! Always better than white :). However, as you can see, there was a logo on it. A big screeming-blue logo. Not so nice. So I gathered leftovers and plastified a Vivienne Westwood picture and started to wreck the Kelly-bag ;)! Due to a lack of wreck-time, it's not totally wrecked jet... hope to finish next week :). But I just wanted to share this new look of the first canvas bag I actually intent to use ;)!
