Batik Bra Top to Headband and Sash

I had this old batk bra top for well over a decade which I never could wear(a little too small!)so I turned it into a sash(RHS) and the back of the top was turned into a smocked headband(LHS). Both terribly wearable now... :-)

enjoy your summer and for goodness sake, be TROPICAL! Have a little Indonesian food-maybe a really good Rendang or a bit of a Sate...but do it...

Jonquil Jumper Redesigned

Hmmm...all those horizontal stripes...remind you of someone?

yup, the Michelin (Tire)Man...it's gotta be redone!

simple and uncomplicated...longer sleeves, V-neck for some breathing space...I'm feeling much much better now... :-)

Redesign: Chef's Pants to Hip Cross-Body Shoulder Bags!

A pair of baggy houndstooth pants which were very much like a pair of Chef's pants, haha, that have ended up as a snazzy pair of shorts and the two cross-body shoulder bags!

you get the general idea...

Ever since I found out I was "The Owl" in Native American Medicine zodiac, I've been indulging in all things OWL...and this bag is one of them - lots of fun to design and create!

I just love the playfulness of Hello Kitty but never got around to buying something that had the motif - this was a joy to make...

I still have the other lower trouser leg left...let's see what could I put together next...?

REDESIGNED: Skirt into Tunic

this was a calf-length flounced skirt with a set-in waist band, which has now become shoulder straps, armholes cut out of the hip area and a tunic is born!

to be cinched at the waist with a belt...
