#2 DIY: Studded pocket on plain top

This DIY require fabric glue and studs which can be purchased from me. I'll post u the details on the right sidebar real soon! :)


#2 DIY: Studded pocket on plain top

This is the final product after DIY, I added a pocket using the remaining denim from #1 DIY . Also, I added some white studs onto the denim pocket and placed it in such a way that it forms a 'S', which is my initial. 


1. Plain top

2. Denim from #1 DIY. Cut to desired pocket size and leave about 1.5cm border.

 3. The 1.5cm border has been folded in and secured temporarily with a needle at all sides. This is to make sewing easier. 

4. Sew short stiches using white threads of about <0.5mm away from the sides. Using fabric glue, apply it on the previous 1.5cm border and paste it on the clothes, remember not to apply to the top of the pocket unless you want an artificial sealed pocket. 

5. Using the fabric glue and studs, you can paste your studs in any arrangement   

TADDAAA! :)

#1 DIY: Jeans to shorts with bow pockets

Hey guys! Here's the step-by-step guide on how to alter your old pair of jeans to shorts with 2 cute little bow on the back pockets.


1. Flip jeans and draw a line with a pencil/chalk at where you intend to cut. 
    Ensure that its slanted to have a more flattering pair of shorts.
2. It's safer to have a longer pair as you can trim to desired length. 
3 & 4. Shorts can be worn in both ways.
5. By pulling out the excess white threads you'll get furry ends which makes the shorts more ragged. 
6. Cut a triangle at the corners of the shorts to make more leg room.
7. Using the excess denims, cut a rectangle that is about 2 cm wider then the width of the back pocket and 
     3/4 height of pocket. 
8. At one end, fold about 1cm inwards in a overlapping manner.
9. Do the same for the other end.
10. Create another fold in the middle.
11. From the excess denim, cut a strip of about 1.5cm width, 5cm length, to secure the bow.
12. Position the bow on the back pocket.
13. Tuck 1.5cm of the end of the bow inside and secure it with a needle at the top.
14. Sew the edge of the bow with short stitches.
15 & 16. Final outcome!
