DIY shorts update :)

So, I know this suppose to be a summer thing :/ well I didn't have blog in summer duh!
Good amount of my readers are from Sri Lanka (secretly woohoo-ing) so, as it's ALWAYS summer there, shorts are a must in a girl's closet..


Bored with your denim one colored shorts? yeah thought so! x) I'm giving you few ways that you can easily update those bad boys and rock them again :)  

Here are few ways how I updated my shorts, not to mention the laziness!
oh well! just enjoy and be inspired :)




TIP : Use a Knit fabric, so that it won't unravel and to achieve the best results with those almost ruffles. 
Few I did before....


Ombre colored pockets...















Dip Bleached ...

DIY mustache Satchel bag/Clutch

This is a very easy project but some what experience on sewing will be required...
When I was in Pinterest, like always I saw few clutches and I really wanted to try and make one :)
O' my love for Pinterest lol

anyways these are the things you will be needing

- 1/2 meter of Main fabric
- 1/2 meter of lining fabric

- 1/4 meter of fabric for bottom and sides (recommended a heavy fabric like denim or canvas fabric)
- a buckle/ velcro/ hook and a ring for to closing the flap 


And here's my pattern... (i'm sorry I donno how to make PDF pattern, in near future I'll learn how to ^^) 




it's very easy to assemble everything together...I'm sorry I just have to explain the steps because I forgot to take pictures -.- 

1. Sew the front main fabric piece and the lining together the good side facing together leaving a little opening. 
When you are done turn it inside out and hand sew the opening using invisible stitch  After that press so the creases will be clean.

2. do the same thing to the back piece.

3. Follow up the same process with the two bottom and side pieces and attach them together so you will have a long straight line that's it about 34 inches long.

4. Pin and sew this bottom and side piece around the front and back piece leaving one side open in both pieces 

somewhat like this... (oh! god bless my paint skills xD)

3. Find the middle of the flap and sew the flap piece down.

4. Assemble whatever choice of method you'd like to use on this project to close and open this bag.
I used a hook and a loop..

I used a fancy embroidery stitch my sewing machine had to decorate the flap.  


Added few pearls and a button to the flap line ^^




After all this cutting, sewing and gluing I got this!!!! :)

good thing about this clutch is that surprisingly I can stuff everything I need in here xD at once!







Lol too much? yeah I should prolly stop!

have a nice day :)

Just have to take couple of or alottttt of nail polish colours and swap them over your bobby pins..its sooo easy but cute..

Here's what I came up with :)

while I'm playing around colouring my bobby pins I saw how ugly my drawer is... I use this to store my under garments, leggings and socks..
it's so old and ugly... I said what the hack and gave it a new look using acrylic paint :)
it' not totally finished yet..I'm planing to add some rhinestones and jewels over the painting.. I love how traditional and vintage it looks..

Just stay tuned for updates..
