Modern Day Corset

Recently, Patti Ransom, a local interior designer, was nice enough to give me a huge box of fabric scraps and books of wallpaper samples. This might seem useless to some people, but I was thrilled! This meant new materials for craft time! Because a lot of the fabric samples were cut small, I had to come up with a project that wouldn't take much material. Case in point: the corset belt.

(my bum)

Honestly, I had no idea what I was creating at the time and it was very much a make-it-up-as-you-go-along kind of thing...but I LOVE how it turned out. Once I solidify the pattern these will be available to purchase in all sorts of fantastic colours and patterns. I find it's a great way to dress up a plain outfit and it even hides any, er, unwanted bumps (what bumps?). Plus, it's reversible (flip side is plain brown).

Oh and, on another note, the necklace that I'm wearing in the photo is my newest creation and is available to purchase here.
