Sew What?

I have been relaxing and enjoying everything there is to enjoy with having time off. Additionally, since I was unable to take a sewing factory with me, I did however manage to acquire a few trims and notions to embellish some garments.

If you follow my Instagram then you probably saw that I redesigned a couple of T-shirts and tank tops with a handmade silk screen that I made years ago. I decided to reuse it and alter my screen since I was in a very creative zone that day.

At the moment, I am also working on finishing yet another bag that I will show soon, because the other handbag that I made was for a friend, so there is more to come I promise. In the meantime, here’s a few images and preview snapshots …

Garment Embellishing:


 

Hand-sewn silk flower petals on a cropped shrug. I am also embellishing them with miniature glass beads. You can see the finished result soon on the blog and via Instagram shortly.

Art Abstractions:

 

In the process of developing new bag and clutch combinations … here’s one of two. Hand dyed batik over printed cotton. I added tucked leather and studs as trimming. No worries, I shall be styling this soon.

What have you been up to?  Anyone planning any seasonal redecorating or come across any amazing deals lately?

*UPDATE 23/08/13 See the finished result of the DIY cardigan here!
