I have been relaxing and enjoying everything there is to enjoy with having time off. Additionally, since I was unable to take a sewing factory with me, I did however manage to acquire a few trims and notions to embellish some garments.
If you follow my Instagram then you probably saw that I redesigned a couple of T-shirts and tank tops with a handmade silk screen that I made years ago. I decided to reuse it and alter my screen since I was in a very creative zone that day.
At the moment, I am also working on finishing yet another bag that I will show soon, because the other handbag that I made was for a friend, so there is more to come I promise. In the meantime, here's a few images and preview snapshots ...
Garment Embellishing:
Hand-sewn silk flower petals on a cropped shrug. I am also embellishing them with miniature glass beads. You can see the finished result soon on the blog and via Instagram shortly.

Art Abstractions:
In the process of developing new bag and clutch combinations ... here's one of two. Hand dyed batik over printed cotton. I added tucked leather and studs as trimming. No worries, I shall be styling this soon.
What have you been up to? Anyone planning any seasonal redecorating or come across any amazing deals lately?
*UPDATE 23/08/13 See the finished result of the DIY cardigan here!

hey madison! i love embellishments on clothing. they can be so expensive when you buy them in a store so it's awesome if you can make them yourself. it will save you a lot. i love the cardigan with the petals. very pretty! i've been busy doing major cleaning of my house. had the siding cleaned, going to get this guy to do some painting and will get the carpets cleaned. the holidays are just around the corner. looking for a halloween wreath. hahaha have a great weekend doll.
