DIY - Jeans Collar Button down shirt with Look-A-Like braces..

Hello Everyone!

I've been fantasizing about this DIY for a very long time..

So lets not waste time and get to it.

In order to make this DIY you'll need:

- A White collared button down shirt.

- A Black satin ribbon.

- A small piece of Jeans/Denim fabric.

Instructions.

Step One:

Unpick the collar (without the collar "leg")

 Just like that.

 Use the old collar to cut a new one from the denim fabric.

Sew the collar from the wrong side of the fabric.

 

Turn over the collar, and iron it.

Attach the collar to the shirt.

 

After sewing the new collar, make a decorative stitch.

Step Two:

 

Mark the front side of the shirt, where you want the braces to be.

(i took 9cm from the buttons).

Mark the back side as well.

 

Put a safety pin at the edge, and start sewing the black ribbon.

Sew the back as well.

Iron over the "braces" and the whole shirt.

 

Done and Done!! :)

A big thank you to Dror Geva for sewing!

So, how do you like my new Look-A-Like braces shirt?

DIY - Leather patched black jeans

Hey all,

This DIY was sewn by the great Dror Geva.

In order to make this DIY you'll need:

- A pair of black jeans.
- Leather.
- Two Zippers.

Instructions.
Step One:

 6 leather pieces of 2cm * half knee width

 2 YKK zippers 16cm

 2 leather pieces of 5cm * 17cm

 

Cut both pieces in the middle (1cm)

 Mark the center of the knee from both sides

Also mark 4cm up and 4cm down, and unpick the side seam

Take one piece of the leather stripes, locate it on the mark, and sew all around

Keep sewing the rest of the leather stripes on the jeans

One side is finished, now start the other side

Sew the side seam

It should look like this when step One is finished.

Step Two:

Unpick the hem (if you need to make the jeans shorter) and the side seam

 Sew the hem

Attach and sew the Zipper

Sew the leather piece on top of the zipper

Just like that

That's it!

Bon Appetit!!
