some big news

I can't remeber when and how but few month ago I had that idea to upcycle old mens shirts and make pretty casual bags with that fabric. May be because men shirts look so fancy and they are often thrown away because of colar and cuffs.

I collect shirts I like from second hand shops, wash them in a machine and iron. After that I do this:

I am satisfied with te result beacuse of few reasons:

1. It's eco friendly because it is re-used.

2. They look fun with this buttons on the front.

3. It is original.

4. Every tote is one of a kind because I can't find to same shirts. The chance is very little.

5. They are useful. If you don't use them like everyday bag it still can be used for shopping.

6. It can be worn by a guy or a girl.

So while shooting my summer lookbook I made few photos of my new totes. I only have 4 of them recently. When I was in my sewing mood I sew up like a dozen of them. But gave them to my Mom and friends so that is what is left. -)

UPD. I don't make these bags anymore.

my summer look book

this photoset i shooted with my friend Vika (she is a model)
it will serve me as a lookbook this summer
Vika wears some covered button earrings and hair accessories i will add to my isheshop later
but what i am really excited about - it is a jacket covered with brooches of different sizes and colors

perfect match

as i often say i'm not a fan of matching sets, i mean wearing by myself

i prefer combining everything by myself rather than agreeing to somebodys choice

but creating sets is my passion -)

mother's day (by the way why so many different dates?) is a great opportunity

i created these for mother's day

Easy to make with children.

Easy to make for children.

Here it is. 

I would also add that's possible to use many many layers to make it thick and then cover with 2-3 covers of white paper and paint it on your own.

yummy yummy rainbow fabrics

So I've bought some new fabrics. They look delicious.
Most of them are colourful cottons which look great on earrings. It's really hard these days to buy some awesome fabrics. Can't wait to try them on. And to see what will be people's favourites - you never know!

I've alredy made some new earrings and sets so check out it on etsy.
And it's gonna be more.

P.S. In fact I don't want to use them so I they stay new and cool forever -)

A bit dissapointed with no finds and no puppies bought ! A a a a they are so cute... I found a package in my mailbox with vintage supplies I bought a week ago. American vintage is much more interesting that post-soviet     one that can be found on our Kiev flea market Kurenevka. Here is a glimpse.
