DIY Project: Boyfriend shirt ress


Hi everyone!
This week I came up with my personal version of a classic DIY: making a dress out of an XXL men shirt. If you have a sewing machine, it won't take so long. This is a very versatile project that will let you explore the boundaries of your creativity. However, I decided to keep it simple... At the end of this post you guys will see some more inspo to make your own boyfriend shirt dress.

The video doesn't have subtitles, but I'll try to fix it: I downloaded a subtitle software but I still don't know how it works. What I'm saying is that this week I came back from Mexico and had a great experience. I got a lot of inspiration there, and also brought some DIY supplies that I'll show you guys in the next couple of weeks. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Hypnotic Art

Inspiration should be found at the most unexpected spots. There is where good ideas rise, nearly always after a good research work. Today I want to share with you guys the work from two artists that totally amaze me. They're capable of turning out ordinary objects into hypnotic sculptures that you just can't stop staring.The first one is Jennifer Maestre, who creates volumes with pencils that remind me to otherworldly submarine creatures. On the other hand,  Andrew Myers builds incredible 3D portraits with screws. I'm speechless!
