DIY Maxi Fringe Skirt
16th December 2010
How cool is a long fringed skirt like this layered over pants or opaque tights? You can make your own by buying leather twine and cutting heaps of meter long lengths, and using hot glue to attach to another piece of leather twine to go around the waist. Very very time consuming but would look very cool. This method is a great way to make any type of length of leather fringing.

DIY Embellished Knickers
16th December 2010
I’m sure you’ve seen these type of embellished knickers before, but this picture has particularly inspired me to make some of my own – I am thinking maybe for swimwear. Buy some high waisted knickers or bikini bottoms, attach some half moon shaped fabric at the hips like below, embellishing with different coloured sequins, studs, buttons or even fringing. For the half moon shapes use leather or another stiff fabric to get the required amount of definition at the hips.

DIY Sheer Maxi Skirts
15th December 2010
So I haven’t worn a maxi skirt in ages, but I have taken a bit of a liking to these maxi skirts, sheer – layered with something short underneath. Makes a maxi a little bit more sexy. Maxi skirts are so easy to make – just take a long tube of fabric and sew onto some elastic. I think this is next on my list of sewing projects.
