Re Fashion Iphone cover

How cool is this?!

I've just been searching for an iphone cover when i found this awesome little creation:

Its made from a men's tie! Their are so many fantastic crazy ties in op-shops and personally I think they would look much nicer as a quirky little clutch than hanging off your neck! 

This item is from Tearfultouch on Etsy.

Uncanny Timing ?

Time and time again I am taken back by the opportunities that arise to me and their uncanny timing. I don't consider myself particularly spiritual or religious, but I am not against the notion that their is some kind of greater power that is impossible to fully understand.

  I get the overwhelming feeling that when I tune into what I need and want , these 'things' have a habit of occurring. Now, I know this is all sounding a little 'The Secret'  ( which I have never actually read but I imagine its something like this!) like ' the universe is providing for me'.  But over the past week its seems I just cant ignore it! Out of a time when I was feeling lost and needing guidance, new networking opportunities and mentors have just appeared out of nowhere.

What ever this thing is, be it lucky timing or whatever, I am so grateful!

Why use vintage fabrics?

I use vintage fabric because finding them is half the fun. Its not like going into Lincraft or some wholesaler where they have rolls and rolls of each type, the exclusivity makes each piece precious.

Sometimes I buy off cuts and  fabrics from ladies who have been saving it for years and years but they have just never known what to do with it or had the motivation to make something.

Its hard to put my finger on why I'm so attracted to fabric that is pre-loved. I want to share with people that curiosity that the garment has a story and a history.
