Hi guys!

I blogged about reusing your bread clips/ties before, about using them to label your cables.
Check this out for another use for your bread ties on Kotori :)

Old T to New Necklace

I have been seeing tutorials online on making use of old tee-shirts, turning them into something completely different, and I've been toying with this idea for the longest time. I was clearing my wardrobe and decided to rip apart 2 of my favorite tees from Zara to try.

1. Cut away collar and sleeve. "Open" up the tee.

2. Cut long stripes. Try it with 1" stripes, see if you like the thickness after you pull the material, so that it curls up.

This was a first time for me too, so it's really just an experiment. I cut up both tees, and ended up with quite abit of excess material.

3. Arrange the stripes in a way that you would like it to be worn. Necklace, bracelet, etc.

As you can see, I braided mine too.

I shall try again when I get hold of more tees... ;)

How was your weekend?

Let's get organized!

Hi Guys!

I just got back from Bangkok, and after a fitful sleep last night, I woke this morning, all ready and inspired to sew, BUT! My room was (and still is...) so very very messy! So I put on some music (Boyce Avenue, by the way!) and started organizing all my stuff.

Then when I was tidying up the rolls and rolls of ribbons - yet again for the hundredth time - I remembered coming across online, something really simple and cool method of organizing them, so I grabbed an empty box (I love keeping boxes. Reuse them, don't throw!) and started vandalizing it :-P

Isn't this so much neater and more fun too?

Okay back to tidying up my messy room!

Reuse your bread-clips!

I've seen this on a website long ago, and have been using this method ever since. It's so easy, so I thought I should share!

You know those little clips with dates stamped on them? Use them to tag your cables! Chargers, Lights, Sewing Machines, Computers, Printers, TV, DVD Player, Router, etc... See? Confused already? That's why you should do this!

It's free, easy and good for the environment too!
