Reader DIY - Cut Out Back Shirt

The lovely Natale Eve of Evelesco has had a crack at the cut out back DIY I did a while ago and has done a pretty amazing job on this royal blue shirt. Love the sheer lace bralette worn underneath.

Reader DIYs - Deconstructed Sweater

The best thing about having a blog like this one is that I can let me imagination run wild with DIY ideas, knowing that if I'm lucky one of my readers will carry the torch for me and execute the idea. As usual, Carly from Chic Steals comes up with the DIY goods and made this hybrid sweater I posted about a while ago. She has done such a good job of choosing two sweaters with such perfect textures to make into one. Perfect! To be honest, Carly is not so much a 'reader' as she is a constant inspiration to me, and I'm pretty chuffed to have inspired her.

Reader DIYs! Floral Headband

Adore this headband that Laraquela of My Boyfriend Hates this Dress made using the tutorial I blogged about here by Kasturi! It is so cute in the gorgeous floral pattern. Great work here, but I hear she burnt herself with the glue gun - the hazards of DIY.

Reader DIYs!

The reader DIYs are flowing in thick and fast, I am so happy to see such amazing projects. The lovely Sophie of Owl vs Dove has done this amazing cut shoulder shirt DIY. I adore her blog and its gorgeous simple aesthetic, if you haven't checked it out you need to. Was so happy to see I had inspired her! To make her shirt she has used the simple method of cutting along the shoulder seams and then sewing the edges - letting the shoulders drop down in a really cute way! Love how she describes herself having a 'crafternoon' when she did it. I am allll about the crafternoon.

The gorgeous Carly of Chic Steals just keeps whipping up amazing DIY creations, this time perfecting the leather collared shirt DIY I did while ago here. Damn she's good. And how cute is the shirt worn with her mulberry inspired DIY skirt she guest posted here about?

 

Ps. trying to decide on a font for the blog, they all seem to hurt my eyes!

Reader DIYs: DIY Flower Headband

Thanks for all your emails showing me all your fantastic DIYs! The lovely Katsuri of Amped + Dangerous (and my hometown Brisbane) sent me this gorgeous flower headband she made out of old t-shirts and a glue gun. It is so easy, simply cut circles and pinch with your fingers into flower shapes and then glue to a headband. Love it! Check out the DIY here on her blog.

DIY's by readers!

So happy to see I've inspired some amazing DIYs out there! Natale Eve of Evelesco has done two fantastic ones, the Chanel cap toe shoes and the Dries Van Noten dip bleach denim.

Dip your denim in some bleach and leave it to dye. Natale Eve learnt that you should dip less than you think you should due to the spreading upwards of the bleach. They look so great don't they?

These gorgeous cap toe Chanel-esque shoes Natale Eve did using some old grey suede pumps and a sharpie pen - perfect!

I love to see I am inspiring you to do some DIY, send me a pic of any of your recent creations.
