DIY | metallic shopper bag




This bag was a 'accidentally on purpose' sort of DIY.  The original intention for this material was going to be a very structural boxy top but due to the cut and double layering the shape did not flatter me as I envisioned (insert complete lack of knowledge/skills as it relates to fabric construction/tailoring).  I wanted to salvage the material, so as it sat around for several weeks it dawned on me that I could simply sew the bottom and turn it into a tote/ clutch.  What I particularly like about this material is that it sits up freely holding its shape even when nothing is in it.  I tend to fold it over and use it more as a clutch for carrying small items and as a grocery tote.

I am currently working with a new material for the structural top.  DIY to come if it turns out well (fingers crossed).

  2. Okay so like in the last hour I found seven great blogs that match my aesthetic. Yours being one of them. I have literally browsed through all your posts as well. I am now following I need to stay abreast on what you have going next. Also, what products do you use in your hair. My hair never looks that good in "fro" state.
