DIY Maxi skirt.

Sometimes I can't still I love making things, whether it's painting something to decorate my house, or a new piece of jewelry I love making something new and exciting.
A month or two ago I took a sewing class, it was an hour class and I thought maybe I can do this, so a couple of weeks later I bought a Bernina sewing machine, I don't have a sewing space yet but I like keeping everything neat in a special place. I have made a couple of zipper pouches, leather clutches (broke a couple of needles that boomeranged in my chest...long story) and pillow covers.
I have been wanting to make an item of clothing so I have been looking on Pinterest , youtube and craftgawker and made my own Maxi skirt. It was a long work and I learned to use knit fabric the second time, and really pinned everything ( I hate pins) . 
I will be taking a couple of sewing classes very soon I can't wait to learn how to read patterns.
You never know you might see me on the RunWay show..... I was just kidding.

Leather Jewelry!

When it rains I try to either sew or make some new jewelry.
I love working with leather there are endless possibilities, here are 5 bracelets I made today.
For some I used old earrings, thread, and suede.
