Summer DIY Clothes

Hello My Friends!!!!

How is your Sunday going?

Here it's cloudy and cold after the rainstorm we have had last night...

Today...I would love to show you my first attempt to make clothes for myself...

Lately...I've had so much fun working on some very basic and easy clothes for myself...

I found some very cute knit fabrics for 2 euros a piece (and some for FREE!!!) so...I tried to make something...

As the fabrics were very cheap...I tought that...also if I wasn't able to make anything cute with them...I don't wast so much money...

I've got this very cute and happy fabric (the grey one with colorful flowers) for free...a big piece...

So, I made the halter top and the ruffle skirt...

This is so summery, happy and...I feel so confortable wearing it!!!!

But...I still had another piece of this fabric so...

I made myself a dress too...

It was so much fun experimenting, adding elastics...

I love the way it turned out!!!

Next one was the purple one...

I combined 2 different kinds of fabrics, addedd ruffles...cut here...sew there and...voilà...this is the result...

I forgot to say that...I didn't use any pattern for them...

Just...tought to something and...tried to realize it!

Ok, this is the last one...for one day to the beach...

Lovely colors...and easy fit!

I have to say that...I'm satisfied about my attempts and...as I've had so much fun...I surely will try to make something else...

Did you ever tried to sew clothes?

I'd love to hear from you!!!!

I wish you all a nice Sunday!!!!!

Love, Dany

Happily Crocheting

Hello my friends!!!!
How are you?
Hope everything is ok for you all... :O)

Winter is still here...cold temperatures and snow all around...
So this is the perfect time for...stay inside and do our favourite crafting...
During these cold days, I love to stay inside, near the fireplace, with a cup of hot tea (sometimes...hot chocolate...LOL) and...crochet!
I found it so relaxing...
So, I would love to show you some projects I did lately...

Here there are some doilies...

I have to say that I've never be a big fan of crochet doilies...my grandma made them but...always lace doilies with really tin white cotton...not my style at all...LOL...

But making them with colorful cotton and  4mm hook...well...I think they look nice!!!

So, THIS IS  the free pattern I used...

Then, I made this one with chunky yarn...
It remembers me a snowflake and I think it's so snowy...
I love it for winter time...
I used THIS FREE PATTERN...

For the 1st time...I made crochet buntings...
They are so much fun to make and looks great in every room of your house!!!

And...last...this is my work in progress project...a ripple rug...

I loooove ripples but...never made them before...tought they were so hard to make...

But...I found THIS TUTORIAL from Lucy Attic24, it's so easy to follow...

And I'm enjoying make my rug...

Hope you like my projects and that my links for free patterns and tutorials can inspire you... :O)

Happy crocheting and...Happy Crafting!!!!

Have a lovely week end.

XOXO, Dany
