DIY :: How To Turn Jeans into Lace Shorts

DIY :: How To Turn Jeans into Lace Shorts

I was going through a bunch of old clothes and came across these black jeans, they fitted perfectly around the waist but the bottoms were terrible – way too long and almost like a bell-bottom look. Not a look I was willing to try to bring back. I found some lace in my craft drawers and converted these old jeans to a pair of DIY Lace Trim Shorts. It was the perfect solution to bring these bottoms back to life. Lay jeans down…

DIY Studded Cardigan

DIY Studded Cardigan

When I spotted the studded cardigan that Sarah Michelle Gellar was wearing on the 1st season of The Crazy Ones, with Robin Williams, this DIY instantly popped into my head. I’ve had this old H&M cardigan for a while and just didn’t know what to do with it – until now! Anyone can do this DIY, and be creative. You don’t need to use a cardigan, try an old blazer, jacket, sweater or even T-shirt. So go to your …

DIY :: Crop Top Chambray

DIY :: Crop Top Chambray

Using one of my boyfriends old dress shirts, I easily converted it into a new crop top. Chambray has been all the range I was pumped when he said he did not want this shirt anymore!  Before. To begin I used a seam ripper and took off the arms as shown below.  Lay your shirt out and mark where you would like to crop it. I put mine on and made a small mark with chalk and then took off the shirt and&…

DIY :: Army Inspired Blazer

DIY :: Army Inspired Blazer

I got this jacket from one of my moms friends and I fell in love with the leather accents to the pockets. It was slightly to big for me, so just like this DIY I took in the sides and arms a bit. For this DIY I was inspired by all the army/green jackets that I’ve been seeing especially as Zara and H&M that have beautiful gem touches on them. Using my left over gems that the wonderful people …

Next is to take in the sides, do the same thing as the arms – mark, pin and sew, cut of excess…

Make sure you leave about half an inch more on all edges&…
