Infatuation List: Fashion Crafts for the Cottage

July 22, 2009

I love the joy that comes with wearing one of-a-kind pieces created by my own two hands, but the daily grind leaves little to no time for DIY fashion projects. Summer vacation means plenty of time for hand crafting, but who wants to lug sewing machines and piles of crafting supplies to the lake or beach? With a weeklong cottage vacation coming up, I hunted around some fantastic sites for head to toe fashion projects easy enough to do on the dock and that won’t require an extra suitcase full of materials.

1. Braided Headband from CraftStylish
Supplies: Fabric Scrap, Piece of Elastic, Scissors, Needle and Thread

2. Summer Scarf from Pickles
Supplies: T-shirts or Jersey Material and Scissors

3. Shredded Tee from Carbon Couture
Supplies: T-shirt, Scissors and Seam Ripper

4. Beaded Sweatshirt from CosmoGirl
Supplies: Sweatshirt, Colorful Wooden Beads, Scissors, Needle and Thread

5. Painted Sneakers from CraftStylish
Supplies: Sneakers, Waterproof Fabric Paint and Paitnbrush
