Crackle Paint

Balenciaga Fall 2013 was not one of my favorite fall collections, but I still wanted to blog about it, because I was really impress by the prints on the fabric. It reminds me of a marble finish on a wall or even the nail polish crackle. I'm not sure if that's what inspired Alexander Wang, but I love how in fashion you can get inspiration from everything in the entire world. Down below are some of my fav from the collection

Free Spirit

With the change of a new season and fall being one my favorite, because it's a chance to layer I made a commitment to myself and my viewers to post more pictures of my outfits this fall. As you can see my style is always different. I've never been the type to wear a hat, but I think I like it it added some flavor to my outfit aside from that I just went with the flow while getting dress and didn't even think about it. The sunglasses will be featured on ShopKoChic

DIY handbag

You will need 

1 yard exterior fabric

1/2 yard lining 

sewing machine

You can use the left over fabric to make a flap for your handbag and straps

Step 1. Cut out a square shape for the outside of your handbag. You can cut any size you want depending on how big or small you want it and than cut out a piece for the lining the same size as the exterior for the bag

 Next you want to turn the exterior of the bag inside out and sew 1/2 seam allowance for the exterior of the bag and for the lining DO NOT turn it inside out just sew 1/2 seam allowance right sides facing up

 Turn the exterior of the bag on the right side facing up and slip the lining inside the exterior of the bag as seen below. Next you want to fold the hem of the top of the bag to put the bag together. For now you can just pin it down until you add the flap and the straps.

 You can choose to do any shape flap, but I chose this shape. Cut out your desire shape and turn it inside out and sew 1/2 seam allowance leaving an opening to turn it right sides up.

 Once you have completed that you want to add the flap between the lining of the bag and the exterior of the bag and pin it down until it's time to sew it.

 Last but not least you want to make your straps.

 Put the straps on the sides of the bag and pin that now as well. Take it to the sewing machine and sew around the hem and don't forget to back stitch. There you have your own DIY handbag.
I hope this isn't to complicated my goal for all my DIY projects are to make them as easy as possible. Hope you enjoy.

Once you get the hang of it you can start to personalize your own handbags. As seen below!!! These are all handbags that I designed myself!!!
