Vintage Skater Skirt With Hand Painted Hem

Last week I made a new skirt to go onto my etsy store. The skirt is made from vintage fabric which used t oblong to my grate-grandmother and the hem has been hand painted to give an ombre effect. 

I am making each skirt that I sell specifically for that individual customer and their waist measurement. 

The skirt is for sale at www.crossmyheartapparel.etsy.com

Contrast Denim Shorts

I have a new item added to my etsy store: 

 A pair of denim cut off shorts with distressed hem. The left side has been bleached to a near white giving a speckled effect. The waist band sits about an inch and a half below the natural waist helping to give the shorts a very relaxed feel the outside side seams are also open an inch and half up from the hem to help give a relaxed worn in feel. 

SIZE: Waist band from side to side 38cm

Boho lace and fringe bandeau for sale

a simple lace and fringe bandeau i made which i am selling on etsy for a little extra cash.

It is size 8-10 (english sizing) and is elasticated at the top and bottom for a secure fit. 

his jeans looked better on me any way.

These are a pair of shorts i made from a pair of my ex's jeans. And sorry to disappoint you but i didn't cut them up out hatred of for closure. He completely destroyed them playing football waiting for a bus, ripping the fabric at the crotch beyond repair (i have sewn up many of his jeans countless times) and i got them for scrap fabric. 

                                      

                                      

•  I started by cutting the length of the legs still keeping the shorts quite long at this stage and keeping the bottom of the legs for scrap.
• I then unpinned the waist band and belt loops and then unpinned the front back and side seams. (I kept the back yoke, pockets and zip in, basically because I'm lazy) 
• using the scrap denim i patched up the larger holes in the fabric and darned the smaller ones. 
• I then pinned and tacked the front and back pieces back together, putting them on to check fit and adjusting. 
• once i was happy with the fit i sewed the seems together using a flat welt down the center front and back, reversed lapped seam along the outer leg this left the edges exposed for a more distressed look and a kind of patchwork lapped type seem along the inside legs. 
• at this point i would have reattached the waist band and belt loops, only they went walkies, so I'm leaving that off, but it adds to the distressed effect. 

• I then cut the shorts to length and dipped in bleach. (unfortunately they turned orange not white/gray, but nether mind. 

• once rinsed and dried I continued by adding dome studs to the back pocket and the front and dripped and distressed the fabric. 

ta-da!!    

i love the outcome, now i just need to get out and wear them ;)

Outfit Of The Day: I Love My Self And I Wanna Live.

So I told my self that I would post an outfit of the day, a diary almost of what I have been wearing. I realized that I have only posted this once, so hear is outfit number 2. 

 To day I had to go back into college to paint plywood to be the back drop for the college exhibition, completely a waist of time, but I didn't want to wear something which I would mind getting rewind. So I put on a pair of legins and an old T-shirt which I cut the sleeves of and opened up the neck line. {along with a few accessories of corse.} 

I got the top at Bordmasters festival at Newquay about 3 years a go, Its a top from the blackout with the slogan "I love myself and i wanna live" :)
