A few questions...
Apr. 9th, 2004 08:46 amHi! This is actually my first actual post here, although I've been here for a while. Anyway...
I had fun cutting up old jeans last night that I hated the fit of (I absoutely abhor straight legged jeans), and made a purse. The only thing is - it's missing something, and I hate the strap. i'm just always terrified of adding things or re-constructing things because I get all "what if I don't like it?" The purse is dark blue. Do you guys have any ideas on how I should decorate it? I can't think up anything. I'm not very artsy, so fabric paints and the like are out. Now, I didn't make a lining for it - I figured, first try, let's wait and see how it turns out. I did add an inside pocket, and all the original pockets are still functional (good for me, since I tend to carry a lot of things). It'll be perfect as a bag for suncreen, cell phone, keys, hairbrush, ponytail holders, a book and my bathing suit during the summer.
Thanks for any tips you can all give me. ^^ Now, off to clean my room so I can find more clothes that I can remake. (I think I'm addicted.) There's a Winnie the Pooh sweatshirt around here somewhere...
