DIY : Black ruffle Bib Necklace

. I dont know if you guys know what has been going on in Nigeria, but we've had a nation wide strike since Monday protesting the removal of Fuel subsidy(i.e fuel prices have practically doubled). I've been going crazy with boredom as i havnt been allowed to join the protests.
Decided to do my 1st DIY project of the year and it turned out FAB! I can't wait to rock it with a pristine white shirt

the pleated chiffon ruffle i used was gotten from the collar of my mum's old shirt but you can find similar materials at your local haberdashery

once you've attached the ruffle to the ribbon you can procede to sew or glue on stones, bows and buttons  with reckless abandon :D

Check it out!!!!!

i have got to be the worst blogger(dare i evn call myself a blogger?) ever! I have sooo many posts in my drafts but finding time to edit and put them up is just the problem. Started a new fashion job which i'm really psyched about , so you'll be hearing a lot of stuff about that in subsequent posts.
anyway this is what i wore last week. Keyword: Comfort, as my job entails a lot of running around.

Inspiration in times of boredom!

On the way to 'school' yesterday i spotted a set of grey 'Opia' beads in the window of a store and ofcourse i had to buy them (have i mentioned that i'm an accessories junkie) anyway lesson today was sooo boring! for some reason i just wasn't connecting with the work, all the pattern terms 'half back'  'center front'  'notching' just kept swimming in front of my eyes. Instead of doing my excerises for the day i got carried away by the scraps of ankara littering the floor and to the annoyance of my instructor i decided to spend the rest of the day playing with some cut offs and beads.

As i was feeling a bit lazy i just folded and scrunched up little squares of ankara and then bound it all with heavy duty glue and then i stuck on a round piece of felt to hide all the threads. I attached the hair comb with a needle and thread. You can find these combs at any arts and craft shop, mine is handmade.



I made this from three strips of ankara, i basically just braided it and then made a knot at one end and a loop at the other. :)

When i got home i decided to revamp my grey beads, yea i think it looks so much better now too!

P.s ; I've been thinking of doing a collection of  just bags, tee-shirts and accessories. more on that later!
