What you can do with your scarfs.

Last year I found many beautiful scarfs at Nashville Goodwill store.

I finally had time to make something from them.

 

One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure

Recently I went to the thrift store to look for more inspirational treasures. I took a few pictures of beautiful embroidery and found a few 100% silk designer neck scarves which I could not resist. The price was unbeatable and after I washed them, I am looking forward to wear these treasures.

Alteration Ideas

Ready-to-wear clothes have the potential to be altered to fit a custom taste or personal needs.

So, here is a couple of ideas on how to alter a pair of pants and a scarf.

*

I loved the pants and especially the pockets, but I really didn't like how long they were. 

Problem solved: I made a pair of capris which I will wear a lot while traveling. :)

*

I loved the scarf pattern and color, but I hated how wide it was. :(

Problem solved: I have a nice scarf now and I can use the second half of the scarf for something else.

 

 

 

New Year Necklaces

Happy New Year!
I have read that 2015 is the year of the sheep/goat, which is symbolized by peace. During the long holidays, I was so inspired to use my old beads that I have kept for probably the last 8(!) years. Many creative people may have the same guilt as I do after buying beautiful beads, fabrics, and such simply because they so irresistible. Sometimes I buy things and keep them for years until I finally decide what to make with them. I am very happy to present the result: 3 necklaces, and a bracelet.

 

Agate Jewelry

I created these jewelry pieces to complement my linen dress I made previously. Creating your own custom jewelry is the easiest and fastest way to find the perfect accessories for your outfit instead of searching stores for the perfect piece and price.
