Can you handle it, Jute?

This jute bag had a handle which looked like a thick skipping rope :-| it was, lets say, not very aesthetic. I still went ahead and bought it coz, well, i really like jute. Am in a sort of sew-a-thon from today, too many things to make, will post some. On top of that my machine gave me a mild heart attack today :D

Anyways, I removed the 'rope' and modified the bag with a new piece of fabric.

Then


Now





A simple equation of sew and tie!

Mobile cover

Mummy wanted me to make a mobile cover for her, hence i used these:



Sewed the lace on the denim and made the cover, added press button at the top and finally added some deco. Mummy liked it!

Presenting... the mobile cover



Give me a pose :D

Check mate

Had some checkered fabric with me, wanted to make some sort of an accessory with it.

Used these:



First, made a rose with the fabric, then sewed the string behind it and closed the back with the circular piece of fabric.





Finally, put a safety pin on its back:



This can be used on a top,



on jeans,



or on a bag.

Belt it

Am going to stitch a brown top soon (?!)so decided to make a belt to go along with it.
This chain belt has been with me forever, its time for it to change :P

used the following:



first, removed the buckle and cut the extra loops, then ran the satin ribbon through the belt loops



Then made a bow, added the button at the centre and attached it to one end of the belt.



done!

A shoe story

Once upon a time, there lived a healthy pair of shoes, brown suede and ornamented. It went places :D



But then it rained :O, and pair got bruised :O.

So Gayatri began ignoring them :(

One fine day, she brought new colours and then decided to try them on her shoes. Also she removed the 'ornaments' and added little ribbon detail as well.

Taddddddaaaaaaa!

Disco shoeshi :D

Hey jute!

This jute wallet had everything going for it, just that it lost its colour due to over use :(



Totally adore the material.



Used fabric colour with "pearl" finish to make butterfly on one side...



and peacock on the other.



Am using this type of colour for the first time, and i must say that its so much more subtle than the 'metallic' or 'glitter' colours. Adds a nice sheen..

Hand painted

not by me though. Many hand painted accessories are available in the market these days. Nice. I feel they have an old world charm about them. These are all that i have, but i hope i get to collect more such items.
