Pleated Purse

August 25, 2010 8:41 am

Hi. I’ve missed you all. And I’m sorry for the slow posting. My daughter just started back to school so we’re all adjusting to our new routine. I’ll get back to normal soon.

I have SO MANY new things coming to the store. Long sleeve organic tops, amazing sweaters and some scarves, too! To make way I need to get rid of some of the summer’s inventory. So my pleated purses are on sale for 50% OFF!!

I have one left in cream canvas and one in navy linen.

I hope you’re all having a great day!!

More Boot Love- SOLD

August 9, 2010 1:09 pm

Since my last “sharing the boot love” was so successful, I thought I’d give it another go. I found these and fell in love with them. They had some weird strappys all over them so I took them off and now they are just perfect, slouchy, cognac leather boots.

I love the wooden heel and the rivet detail around the sole.

They look gorgeous with jeans.

If you like them, head on over to my etsy shop to check them out!

Refitting a Leather Jacket

July 1, 2010 7:36 am

I’ve ALWAYS wanted a cool leather jacket. Always. But I could never bring myself to pay for one. So while I was out thrifting, I got this leather jacket at the thrift store for $7. I loved the look of the leather, the great zippers and the overall shape.(It had sleeves. I just cut them off before I took the pictures. oops!) It was in great condition, but it was a little too big. So I thought I’d try to make it my size! For those of you that are freaking out right now, thinking leather is hard to work with- IT”S NOT! It doesn’t even move like a cotton or stretch. I’m telling you- DO NOT BE AFRAID!!

Before you begin:

I recommend using a heavy needle. They make leather needles, but I actually used a denim needle because it’s what I had. I have a button that automatically changes my tension and stitching for leather. ( I know. Thank you Husqvarna:) ) But you can check your machine for the recommendations.

Also, good leather jackets also have a lining. Don’t let that intimidate you! All you have to do is remember that whatever you do to the leather, do to the lining. It’s just on the inside.

Let us begin…

First what I did is cut off the sleeves at the seam. I needed to bring the shoulder line in.
