DIY Wednesdays!

This is a DIY shrug/jacket that iv'e been meaning to show you for sometime...It is white and has a shiny-silver sequin pattern!

How did I make it? 

• I had an old white tee lying around for ages..
• I reduced its length and hemmed the bottom edges.
• I cut it through the middle to make it front open..
• Sewed on a silver edged lace on the middle 2 edges
• Collected Glittery Silver Sequins in 2 sizes
• Made an abstract symmetric pattern on the front
• Stuck em on with Fabric Glue!

You can make plenty of casual jackets in this manner-its so much fun! And you may play around with matching lace at the edges, or customize it with buttons or sequins like I did! Or leave it plain!

And your old favorite tees get recycled into something new and unique!

I had to iron the shrug on the reverse to make the fabric-glue fast, and the sequins kind of semi-melted with the heat, and got a bit twisty and curled up a bit! But the effect was much better and natural, i think:)Talk of beneficial accidents!

So when are you'll gonna make your own customized shrugs?:)


Love,
Shubhi!
