1) Cushion covers that were made for a friend's house-warming party
When a friend invited us for her house-warming party, I decided to hand make something she could use for her house. The only thing that came to mind was cushion covers. Since I had gained quite some practice making simple ones, I tried to add a ruffle pattern to make it look like a designer piece.
Not to brag, but the next day she messaged me saying these were adorable and looked like boutique designer pieces :) :)
2) Navrathri goodie bags
My in-laws receive a lot of silk shawls from the temple in Mysore. One day when we were visiting old family friends, the aunty had made a cute little pouch with the shawls she had received from the temple. Thats when I thought what a great idea it was to upcycle these shawls into goodie bags .. especially when Navratri was just around the corner. And thats exactly what I did for the adult goodie bags. Since I couldn't find anything to upcycle for the kid's bag, I bought the main & lining fabrics and zips from Bangalore
3) Sunglasses Cover
We were going on a short trip to India this September - and there was my opportunity to try out something to gift my relatives - most particularly my aunts and cousin. Since its usually very hot in India everyone has sunglasses. I saw this amazingly simple tutorial on Youtube.com for under 10 minutes sunglasses cover , and believe me it was exactly under 10 minutes :) So I made a couple to take with me to India.
Couldn't really upcycle anything in this. The lining fabric was this very soft silky one perfect to use a sunglasses wiping cloth as well :)
