Upcycled Bath Towel

Here's a simple upcycling project I've recently completed.
A simple old bath towel being snipped up, over-locked at the edges, followed by simple home-stamped labels (I prefer the clean-up towels at home to have designated uses and labels help us keep to that).

This project took no more than 2 hrs, am a tad slow in sewing.

So here's my little contribution to saving our earth :)

Her name is

Tsumori

A girl who’s sweet, charming, a traveller, a lover.... (of all things beautiful)

A survivor of multiple bad hair days and severe reconstructive ear surgery.

Tsumori, means intention, purpose equating to determination.

Tsumori now


after reconstructive ear surgery

She needs a name : (

Am terrible because:

1. She proberly can't hear now because she was the first SBL I tried taking apart and totally injured her.

2. Her lips were terribly carved as I did not have the proper tools (I was based overseas and was desperate to custom a doll, with or without the right tools)

3. I never set her fringe properly

4. Her makeup looks terrible!!!!

5. I NEVER NAMED HER!!!

I'm trying to make amends. This is also my break month thus I've been going through my older gals, touching them up and giving them make-overs! Hopefully I've learnt a little some thing from Project runway and watching numerous episodes of Tim Gunn's guide to style!

ps. do feel free to leave name suggestions.

Here's a little picture story of her:

Loving Denim

Hi everyone,
If you were to see one of my post awhile bk, I had mentioned that I wanted to take up the challenge against over-consumerism and trying to reduce my carbon footprint, thus the inspiration of the material usage in this set.

It's now close to winter, and what better way to warm up in denim. Denim, our staple throughout all seasons will now function as a tunic over a long sleeved tee to help keep the gals tidy as they finish their late autumn farm chores.

All tees will have a vinyl print of every girls' favorite animal : )

There are 4 variations of this dress set.

Materials used are up-cycled cotton and denim.

*pls take note of the little denim rip in set2, I kept it as part of the design for a more rugged look but do understand not everyone might like it.





the tees with vinyl prints
*Close up of the 'worn' out feel, pls take note that the vinyl prints were intentionally heated a bit more at the edge to make it appear 'worn'


Each dress set is priced at 36usd each.(Only set 3 left)

International Shipping is 3usd

Proj2: Pinky lurve

Every notice how we out grow our jewellery and accesories? Instead of throwing them away, why not give them a little TLC face-lift ?

I had this string of Tourmaline for the longest time purchased with the believe of it’s healing properties. I had almost forgotten I had it till I gave my little jewellery box a spring cleaning.
It's now been given a little up-cycling as it’s previously strung style is a little too passe for me and I can’t bear to dispose it. Now, I can’t wait to wear it with my little Garnet bracelet which is in need of a hook change for a multi-layer bohemian look :D 




Here's it's before
