DIY:Do It Yourself ...Cardigan makeover, Restore old cardigan,Breathe new life into cardigans .....



There was an old cardigan lying in my wardrobe , which was  old and  I didn't wanted to give it away for some sentimental reasons . An idea came to my mind to renew this old sweater which inspired me  to do  this  tutorial.



1.  I love flowers especially on woolens , so I searched for  something to make flowers out of, in  the material lying around at home, and  I found a left over piece of a lace  in my drawer.So I made  flowers out of the lace.
 

2. Then I found old buttons and sewed them to center of flowers .Made four flowers with 6 petals each.
3.After this I changed the buttons of the old cardigan.
4.Then I bought  a bottle of white fabric color.Since the cardigan I had was plain and grey in color , I decide to add a little zing to it by adding small polka dots  on its sleeves and on the bottom part of the sweater.
5.Next I sewed all the flowers to the sweater in a vertical manners, as if they were hanging from a branch.
6.To add little sparkle I added some crystals and stones  around the flowers .I kept  the color  combination  of the sweater , white and grey , to make it look elegant.


 7.The cardigan looks new and is ready to wear.

BEST OUT OF WASTE -3 ...potli bags , clutch bags,& a sling bag .. created using waste material


 Hey u all, its Sapna  , and I  am here to share my idea of converting old cloth , laces etc to an awesome bag . As you can see I have  uploaded pics of   a potli bag, a sling bag , and  a cute and  colorful little clutch bag( my fvrt).I had to do a  lot of sewing for making these , but never thought they'll end up looking so cute ,

1. The potli bag is entirely made by sewing together  rough and old kerchiefs, pieces discarded sarees from my mom's wardrobe , and yes most importantly the laces that  I had left over  from the anarkali suit I designed 
( view the previous post  , DRESS DESIGNING ............My Designing Experience ).

2. The clutch  was made first by creating a basic structure or body , using plastic bags  some cloth and a cardboard , all stuck and sewed together , then  very  meticulous covered  with   an old  piece of cloth .The handles were attached in the end.

3. The sling bag ,was made entirely using my old  overalls , I used an old belt to create the  sling , for the bag, and used  crystals  for creating a  symbols on it.

Hope you have liked the idea , and might  yourself  give it a try  sometime   :)

DRESS DESIGNING ............My Designing Experience

Anarkali designed by me                

              

                My designing Experience


                              In  the past few days I came across a new  interest of mine  ...... ...... designing.....As all girls ,I have always been fond of clothes( the fairer sex's innate quality ;) including  bargaining), ...not only going fr  frequent shopping sprees , but  what  I have been more interested in is usually  in  a dress's anatomy  ... that's right .. i mean its design ,cut, the type of cloth used , texture, colors, the geometry ,  n especially  the embroidery (thread  work, gotta patti,zari work).I love traditional outfits whether its a lahega , salwar cameez ,sharara or a  saree .......................................

 The Inception ;)
Designing this dress , was  an idea that struck my mind  when my mom was going through various online shopping sites to find a traditional looking saree .for my sister's wedding.....I was sitting by her side ..... and .... peeping on to  my laptop , time and again because she had been using it for  quiet a long time (although  I knew she wont buy anything  as I know she never  shops  online   , as   she thinks online  purchases are'nt reliable ) ...... Just when my patience was about to run  out , she  clicked on yet another  link ..   regarding bridal anarkalis..........

this obviously got me reaaally  interested ( , u ask why ? because when there is a wedding in a family  all  a girl can think  about is  ,"o God  I don have anything to wear, what am I  gonna wear?" same was the case with  me ) , 
                     so   I started looking  more keenly and after seeing about 20 to 30   options, I found there was something missing in all of them , some had a beautiful color but lacked the right length of dupatta , some had gr8 embroidery on them but had poor dress material , some were  really exquisite  but out of my  budget  . All this left me thinking may be I can design one for myself as well plus it will make an exciting new project to work upon , and the designer within me started unleashing itself   (lol) , and that's  how I decided to design my own dress for  my sis's  wedding .........
and  frenzz em glad I did so (although my mom called me  crazy and  insane when I told her my idea , i mean she found it troublesome, as she knew  I was soon going to eat her head   and take her to the market with me frm one shop to another in search of the right  material ,, ... but  convinced her  somehow ...........
                                        
 I  made a design on paper , as u can see in the above picture . It took me  about 2 weeks to get this dress ready ,I  wanted the anarkali  to include  2 of the most vibrant and my favorite colors Yellow and pink (I  wanted it to be  the most  flamboyant  silhouette I had )  , so I bought 2 meters of net, and Georgette and got them dyed I had to take assistance from my mother , for stitching up various laces, sequins, hangings,drops and the part that was too difficult for me  like  the koti, the kalis and the lining (the basic framework)......was done by  Tailor Master jee of  a nearby boutique ..Unlike how  easy it seems to most people , It was quiet  a challenge  ........... the most challenging part is the  procurement of material  and  most importantly stitching and explaining  every1 what is to be made  .

                                 if you design a dress  you   one  can  obviously  customize it in any way you want , unlike any ready made dress because you are creating what you are going to where , right!! and yes  the dress is unique and special  for you .
                            
  Its such an invigorating  and pleasant feeling when the final product  is completed and is appreciated by all .My frenzzz still ask me about   this dress of mine  , and how I got the idea , they did'nt beleive when I told them I got it stitched .... .

So, frnzzz  keep innovating and keep inspiring others and yourselves  and if you have any crazy idea  in your mind   bring it to reality  , like mine  !!!!XOXO ;)

"What comes first, Day or Night?"
The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, "It's the DAY sir!"
"How" the interviewer asked.
"Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"
He was selected for IIM!
