Knocking it off

Today, I'm also guest posting over at Elegance & Elephants. Heidi is having a wonderful series of guest posts, focusing on "knock-offs" (DIY copies of original garments). If you don't know Elegance & Elephants yet, make sure to pay this incredible blog a visit! Heidi makes gorgeous clothers for her cute little girl & boy, and was a runner-up in the most recent season of Project Run & Play!

My guest post is here, but make sure to also check out the previous contributions, which show fabulous knock-offs of Boden, GAP, Louboutin, Zara, and Bonpoint, to name just a few!

Speaking of guest posts; do you remember my origami sleeve guest post over at the Sisterhood of the Crafty Pants? Check out what the incredible Irem from SewingYourStyle did with my tutorial:

Using the twisted pintucks to spice up the shoulders - what a wonderful way of using this technique!
