dear DIY jean purse


dear DIY jean purse,
you are all things i love in a purse,
enormous & sustainable,
not to mention, oh yah, handmade from beloved soft jeans!
hell yes for socially conscious designs!

"Euphraise likes the idea of reusing clothing for environmental reasons and is designing her own line of bags made from jeans - she also plans on going into to help save the planet. She is highly influenced by her world travels as a model, but her farm-bred origins of Normandy come through in her socially conscious marketingdown-to-earth and unaffected sensibility. Euphraise’s dress code can be described as traditional Parisian meets colorful Tokyo meets anything-goes New York, but her pet chicken (named Poulet Blanche) sums up her unconventional and wide-eyed individualism."


i'm so enjoying her inspiring non-fussy, yet fun carefree approach to a fun socially consious closet. file thsi vintage button collar shirt here

stitch in time...

i'm stuck in the dumps with a head cold, enid is my sick partner in crime, we cuddle with Kleenexes & watch kiddie movies, which helps right?

its nice to see rodel la update, i love the photos, the model, the styling, ect...so good!




oh my poor very neglected sewing machine...& even when i do sew i just go over to my mom's (that way i can get all the help i need too!)..
but i'm determined to make this baby have a use, other than collecting dust, & to actually hem & take in these thrifted summer dresses that never were even worn.
i was very inspired by this!
and so i bought this cute vintage 1963mccalls pattern also from softspoken's etsy shop, it reminds me of one of my favorite summer frocks as made by Isabelle.


also appreciating this blog very much too!
