hello there samantha
A collection of sorts for all the DIY projects that interest me.
DIY Knockoff Moschino Cheap & Chic Boat Trip Bag Tutorial from Clones N Clowns here. Really good tutorial and you don’t need a sewing machine (although I would probably top stitch the leather with my sewing machine). Top Photo: The Cherry Blossom Girl here holding a $688 Moschino Cheap & Chic Boat Trip Bag found here. For more DIY knockoffs go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/knockoff

DIY How to Alter and Glitter a Sweatshirt with Downton Abbey Thrown In Tutorial from La Vie en Rose here. Two tutorials in one: how to take in a sweatshirt and a different way to apply glitter so it doesn’t wash off in the laundry. If you watch Downton Abbey you will get “Free Bates”.

Carte Postale Zipper Pouch | The Graphics Fairy
One of my favourite things to craft with is tshirt transfer paper. You can create your own printed fabric and there are so many fantastic projects out there using it. This is a great example - just download the vintage picture of an old letter, print it onto the paper, iron it onto your fabric and sew it up (ok, a little harder than that but not super hard!). A perfect little pouch to chuck your tablets, jewellery or spare change!
Floral Book Clutch | Caught On A Whim
Most book clutch projects require you to have a gorgeous good quality hard cover book. Now some of you may have luck finding one but in my second hand book shops all I can find are John Grisham hardbacks and weird ugly covers. So this pretty clutch project is perfect because it doesn’t matter what’s on the cover - you’re going to be covering it anyway! Of course, you don’t have to cover it in floral fabric, but I do love the chintzy fabric.
Some cute DIY wall art! This would look absolutely adorable in a kid’s room, but it’s so pretty that I think you’ll want it somewhere you can see all the time. Cheerful by day, stunning by night, and it only takes about an hour and a half to make!
