Repurposed Clothing

I really enjoy transforming great things into better, more useful things. Below is that purple suede pant that I told you about earlier made into a trendy sling. The unfortunate side effect of this recycling project is that everything is a brand new project and there are more flaws than one would expect out of making the same product over and over again. But then again, these items are one of a kind and hand made, so flaws are assumed in the design. Check out the latest makings!

Sling made from repurposed purple suede leather pants, unbleached cotton, and a shoe string.



Messenger made from mens dress pants and black microsuede.

These two items will be posted in the shop this week!

A New Puppy!

It's been a while. I went on vacation and then didn't have internet for 2 weeks. That was pretty much the most painful 2 weeks considering I have 3 jobs that are computer and internet based. Ugh, the agony. Thank goodness I have internet so I don't have to walk over to Starbucks every few hours to get internet.

Moreover, I'm in the process of revamping the shop. I just got my hands on some great clothing that I will be transforming into accessories. I'd like to actually completely switch over to recycling products into really neat things. It's more challenging, and it keeps my mind busy because after all, sewing the same thing over and over again gets really boring. Plus, having a one-of-a-kind item is always better than one of a million. :)

So far I got my hands on purple leather suede pants and some Nike spikes. You'll love what I've got planned for those. Separate items, of course.

In the mean time, I'd like to introduce you to our newest family member, Hubert. A whopping 12 week old, 7 pound Pug puppy. He's precious and very cuddly. More updates about him soon!
