another D.i.Y (cheating again)



Sorry, another oldie but have been working too much to attempt any d-i-y's lately! This one me and my friend Christiana did last year when we had two nights - we left it 'till the last minute - to work on a 5 piece collection for the salvos where you get old shit from the op shop (thrift store) and remake it into something that could be considered "contemporary fashion".

I am completely amazed.

This project is one of those things that I'd attempt hoping for a kick ass dress but by the end all I'd have was a black string of wool 50 metres long.

thanks to lux i was introduced to your blog and i've loved it so much that i've dedicated a post to you as well. strictly because i use my blog as a source of inspiration, easier than printing it all out and having it on my computer all the time.

Oh man. I would never be able to do this shit myself, and that makes me sad. You should start selling them on Etsy or something so the poor, craftless fuckers out there like me can buy them.

This is amazing.
So many Australian bloggers I've come across do not have this kind of (awesome) taste. Love that you're from Melbourne, adding your blog to my favourites.
