Lace Sleeves T-Shirt

God I miss blogging! haha.. my internets been down for several days now,  so I cant logon to my wordpress.. I'm desperate and want to know what's happening in my blog so I'm blogging in an internet cafe now hahaha.. Dont like it, I like a calm environment when I blog.. But I wanna share my recent DIY to you guys.. I have a thing with lace nowadays so I hacked my t-shirt and here is my process, It's not a step by step though

It's very simple.. First I take off the t-shirt sleeves with seam ripper, I open the sleeves and I used it as a pattern for my lace sleeves. Just fold the sleeve in half and put on the lace, also fold in half.. And cut it.  Then stitch the lace sleeves to the t-shirt. And It's done! How's my new t-shirt looked like? Hope you have nice weekend

Lace trim shorts

The story behind this shorts is.. it wasn't a shorts before, it was a 3/4 pants with yellow stained all over it! I made it a shorts and bleach it to get rid of the stain. Too bad I dont have enough lace trim coz I want to make this a lace shorts, so for now I just add lace trim on the bottom.

I just handstitches the lace trim, it's more time consuming.. But in order too follow the lace pattern then handstitching was the only way. For now this is my lace trim shorts, when I buy enough lace trim I will cover the shorts with lace someday.

DIY WEDDING PHOTO ALBUM

Finally I'm working on my wedding photo album for our moms. It's been 3 months since our wedding (what have I been doin?!)
I totally forgot actually, and then my mom ask for it. Sorry mom, I've done it! I'm sending it tomorrow.

Here is what I made

Sorry for the blury image. I make up to you with how I made this lace photo album.

I made it with: Linen paper; carton; lace; foam lining; piece of plastic; thread; scissors; cutter; ruler; brush; glue.

1. prepare all the material, I already cut my linen paper into the size that I wanted 2. Fold it half 3. stack it and then binding it by gluing the side, clam it with clams or stack it between thick books 4. While waiting the glue to dry, cut the carton for back and front cover, a little less wide than the linen paper, my linen paper is 11.7 x 16.7 cm and my carton is 11.7 x 15.7 cm.

5. Cut a little rectangle where ever you want your cover photo to be, mine on the the right corner 6. Then get your foam lining and cut as same as the size of the carton 7. Glue the lining to the carton, and cut where the rectangle is with scissor 8. Cut the lace much bigger than the carton.

9. Glue the lace to the carton and a piece of plastic at the back covering the rectangle. Also glue your cover photo on the linen paper, dont forget to measure it first 10. Glue the lace carton to the linen paper, you are half done. for more durability I want to add stitch binding to it, I add two holes by punch it with nail and hammer 11. Then I stitch it with packing needle and thread, if You have embroidery thread then use it. I dont have it so I use lots of thread and stitch it over and over 12. All done! You can add embelishment or you could cover the binding area with lace or linen paper, up to your creativity.
