DIY: Boot Socks

Materials:

Old, unwanted sweater

Scissors

Tape measure

First Step: Use measuring tape to measure the desired height of  the sock. 

I wanted mines knee length. From bottom of my foot to the top, mines measured to be about 14in.

Next Step: Cut the socks to the desired length. 

These were the results after cutting.

Next Step: Pin the bottom of the socks to sew.

And Viola! Socks!!

The socks are super comfy! I wear them around the house.

And with boots, of course.

DIY: Infinity Scarf

Its phudging cold outside. I am a spring baby. I despise the cold weather. To stay warm, I try to bundle up as much as possible. I have accumulated plenty of  scarves and hats this winter. Since I recently moved, I discovered numerous amount of clothes that I did not wear any more. I saw this sweater and thought hey I could make a scarf from this.

Materials:

Old sweater

Scissors

Heat Fusible tape 

Layout the sweater to figure out the desired length of the scarf. 

Once you decide on the length. Cut the sweater detaching the sleeves.

Place the fusible tape along the edge to hem the edge

Fold over the sweater. Iron the sweater  until tape has fuse.

Once you hem the edges with the tape then you can take selfies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DIY PEARL VEIL BEANIE

I love hats!! Can't get enough of them. I got this inspiration from the pink veil beanie that Rihanna wore last year. To add a twist i decided to put pearls on mine, to give it an urban chic style.

Supplies

8in nylon netting

Beanie

Thread and needle

String of pearls ( i use glass pearls)

First thing I folded my nylon netting width wise. No need to trim the netting.

Next i place the beanie in the center of the netting. I didnt pin the hat to the netting because I knew it was not going to be difficult to sew it together.

Next thread the needle and sew on the netting to the hat. 

This is a side view of the beanie after i finished sewing on the netting. I put an inch of the netting below the beanie because i want it to cover my head a little.

The most time consuming part of the diy was sewing the pearls securely so they wouldn't fall off. 

I threaded the needle. Then I tied a note on the end of the thread. I pushed the pearl through the needle and sewed through the hole of the pearl back out through the hat.

These are photos of the finished products!

Flower Power

This was probably my favorite summer outfit. I got the shirt last year over the winter time at Wet Seal. It only cost probably $3. The shorts are may fave. They are Levi's that I cut into shorts. I have been wearing these shorts almost every chance I get. The shoes I love love. Only cost me $14 from Body Central. Regular price was $34. I got them on sale while shopping in the winter time.( it pays off) The flower crown I made myself I refused to pay for one from claires too much money. 

I went to a Art's Festival this day. I thought to get in my artistic mood and wear a couple of things that I created myself.

Lace crop top- Wet Seal

High waisted shorts- Thrift/ DIY

Fringe Booties- Body Central 

Flower Crown- DIY

DIY X Kimono

I love the trending style of the kimonos. So I went in search for one of these kimonos. I noticed that every single one I like was a little too much. I decided to make my own. 

This is my first tutorial so bare with me as I try to go step by step on how i made this. lol

Finish Product ( more pictures)

Materials:

2 yards of fabric ( I used this sheer fabric from Joann)

Measure Tape or ruler

Scissors

Sewing machine or needle and thread ( I used a sewing machine cause I was too lazy to sew by hand)

First

I laid the 2 yards of fabric on top of each other. I used my measure tape to measure:

 How long I wanted the sleeve. 

Take the ruler or measure tape.

 Measure from the shoulder to the wrist.

Take the measurements and mark them on the fabric. (As shown below)

I did not measure the length because I wanted mines to be long; if you want to make shorter take

Second

Cut the fabric where you made the marks.

The fabric should look like the picture below.

 Third

Cut one of the pieces fabric with a "Y" going down the middle.

I did not use any measurements to cut the "Y" shape. I just eyeballed it.

Last

Now you have 3 pieces of fabric. One left sleeve. one right sleeve , and a back piece.

Sew or thread each sleeve onto the back piece. 

I did not take of me sewing the fabrics together.

I sewed mines inside out. As weird as that sounds and it turned out good. Thinking about adding fringe.

I hope I gave good instructions. If anyone have questions feel free to contact me.
