Here's a great idea if you have an old t-shirt, if  you love fangirling, and if you like sleeping!--- DIY no sew pillowcase!

What made me come up with this DIY is my old gray t-shirt which the ants attacked and left so many holes. Because of that, I can no longer wear the shirt (I can make it my house shirt but I already have a lot). So instead, I've decided to turn my old t-shirt into a no sew pillowcase featuring Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds of Summer!

"Gather your dreams, let their spirit guide you..."

Hello, hello dreamers! I've been fascinated with dreamcatchers ever since I was a little kid and I've always been fond of analyzing my dreams. I can vividly remember back when I was in elementary, I made a dreamcatcher out of a broken toy, yarns, beads, and feathers! The finished product though wasn't as appealing as I thought it would be (I'm referring to my aesthetics now) but I was so happy with what I have made back then. 

I bought my first "legit" dreamcatcher at Dapitan Arcade for Php 200. I was in college that time, shopping for home decors for my first ever interior design project. But since then, I've been collecting dreamcatchers! So since I'm collecting, why not make my own right? Here's a tutorial on how to make a modern dreamcatcher.

Two of the things I love about acquiring a new pair of pointe shoes is the sewing of pointe shoes and breaking it in. I love how so much effort and love is being put in my most expensive pair of shoes ever.

When I acquired my first pair of pointe shoes, my mom did all the sewing. Actually, my mom also sew my 2nd pair of pointes. But now that I am old enough to know how to sew my own pointes, I decided to make this step by step guide on how to sew pointe shoes.

Oh my gosh, I am actually showing my tummy. hahaha. But I don't go out with a super cropped top even if the Philippines is scorching hot. But I do when we go to resorts with pools. heh~ I also wear it like in the first photo when I practice ballet or do warm-ups here at home when I am all alone. hihi. But on a regular basis, I wore this no-sew DIY top with a fitted tank top underneath.


So, here I am again sharing another no-sew DIY Top, or more like, a DIY in particular (sorry dreamers), after so many centuries! This is really easy and fast to do so if you have a cotton shirt that's been lying around in your wardrobe and has been accumulating dust for the longest time now, why don't you try this DIY?

My love for writing personal letters will never die down even if there are already ways of communicating high-tech-ly. As I was writing a letter for my pen pal in Ukraine, I got the spelling of her name wrong in the envelope. So then I thought of embellishing the envelope to not waste it. I ended up making this Vintage envelope! By the way,I used it for my college best friend’s letter instead!
