#ako work

One of my shorts wouldn't fit anymore, but I couldn't bear to throw it away because I really like it's worn out color. So I cut the sides and added more space with some silky textile material I have lying around. It now fits snugly. The silky textile added a nice contrast to the ruggedness of the jeans.

I always wanted a stripes dress with this kind of style but I could never find one or they were too expensive for my budget. And I thought, why do I have to buy one when I can try to make one, a win-win situation, for at the same time I get to learn and enjoy the process of making. I couldn't find a striped cotton textile but I found a huge stripe men's shirt at an ukay place for 5 freaking pesos and the material was just perfect. So, I took advantage of my nyctophilia and insomnia and made a dress out of it. 

Bralette #4 Aiming for some back detail. :)

I fell in love with this book character whose hobby is making her own lingerie, her own way of gaining self-esteem as everything else in her life sucks. I've always been curious how lingeries are made, especially those pretty lacy ones, so I went to where anyone can learn almost anything nowadays, youtube. I watched one youtube tutorial and found out how freaking easy it is to make bralettes and I’ve been obsessed with making them these past nights. Everything just fell into place and I finally know what to make of the scrap textiles and laces I’ve been hoarding over the years. This is the 2nd one I made, it's made from an old leather skirt. It's super comfortable. I think I can even wear this to the beach. :)
