Geometric necklaces - bow tie alternatives PART 3

Bow ties became very popular in last couple years and I always enjoy making them, but I told myself maybe it's time to offer something different, similar to bow ties, but SOMETHING NEW.  I've started to make unisex bow tie alternatives from quality leatherette which are ideal for any occasion, even everyday wear. I have already posted PART 1 and PART 2 and now it's time for new addition to my shop - PART 3 !

Geometric necklaces - bow tie alternative PART 2

I featured some of my geometric accessories here couple weeks ago and as I enjoyed making and wearing them I've made some new since. It's very easy to make them by yourself  but If you prefer buying some you can browse through all accessories  here.

Geometric necklaces - bow tie alternative PART 1

I became bored of all accessories that I have. When I go buy some new ones I always fine same stuff in all shops. Repetition of "style". Boooring!! I wanted something original and something that describe me. Style I like is of course simple lines, geometric pattern, nothing complicated. So here is what I came up with. 

I combined bits and pieces of quality leatherette and create something like bow tie alternative. Now I can bring life to a boring single color shirt or any plain top. It is very easy to make and you can do it yourself, but If you don't have time or don't feel like doing something, you can also order same in my shop. This one is listed here. 

Another necklace very similar to the first one. It is very simple to make. It's all about combining right colors and shapes together and that's it! Here is link to this necklace if you like it.

  

The necklace above is my favorite. It goes well with plain black shirt. You can find more details here. 

Vivid colors like Yellow can add very nice finish to your outfit. This necklace  is a combination of quality yellow, black and white leatherette and there are also white studs in the middle with tiny black and yellow freckles. For more pictures, info and price please click here .

This diamond shape necklace goes well with collars, but it also look nice on a loose top:

Felt project - Table mats

I found an amazing felt project at How about orange couple days ago and my fingers were itching to try it. I am a huge fan of geometric shapes and simple lines so this project was MUST HAVE for me. Below are some pictures and steps how I created these. Visit How about orange to find more details as well as download perfect pattern.

There is only 1 thing I have added to this project and that's underlay / lining support, which makes mats firmer and more durable. I applied iron on thick vliseline. You can buy it in local shop with fabrics or some bigger craft shops. 

Step by step:

1. Cut squares as per pattern using 'stanley knife' or use scissors. I've found scissors to work better with soft felt, however stanley knife is more accurate. Before cutting fasten each square with a pin.

2. Begin insert corner pieces through the slots in the middle

3. Connect as many squares as you want. You can create small coaster, table mats or even carpet! That will be my next project :) 

4. Trim off the excess felt around the edges and cut off the points of the triangular tabs to create nice geometric shape. Iron on thick vliseline on the back side. This will also straighten edges on the other side and will make mats looks neat and tidy.

5. Woohoo, all done! :)

Geometry inspired Fashion

As you could read in my post from November, I love origami influenced fashion as well as geometry inspired fashion.  Do you remember drawing all those various shapes at school, such as triangles, rectangles, diamonds, hexagons or circles? Honestly Math and Geometry weren't my favorite subjects but now I just love to see all those geometric shapes on fabrics or dress patterns! No matter if you choose a tight dress or lose shirt, as long as it has some geometric design, it will surely look great this season!
