Maybe it's not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it's about starting over and creating something better

I've always loved making things or turning a piece of clothing or accessory into something a little different. I used to always make clothes when I was younger. I guess the reason being is because I've always dreamed to be a fashion designer. I loved the idea of being able to turn a plain skirt into a pretty dress top or an ugly sweater jacket into an amazing looking jacket. 

Recently I've been doing something like that.

I wanted a casual over the shoulder purse. I have tons of purses but none of them are over the shoulder, so instead of spending money on one I decided to just take a couple of my purses and turn one of them into one and using something the other had. 

First, I took a regular casual purse that I wanted to use.

Then I punched a hole on the top of each side.

I took the long strap off of one of my other purses that was too fancy for the casual look I wanted and hooked each side into the holes

And.... the finished product!

I use this purse everywhere I go now. It fits everything I need and then some. Definitely more comfortable too.

I've been jogging a few times a week lately. It's a good workout. Legs tend to hurt afterwards, but as the saying goes NO PAIN, NO GAIN. The problem I have though is where to put my phone so I can listen to music while jogging. So I came up with a solution. 

I took a pair of shorts

I also took one of my tank tops that I don't wear anymore a cut a piece off big enough to fit my phone in, and sewed it to the inside back of the shorts.

placed phone inside.... and it fits perfectly. I didn't put the phone all the way in because I wanted you to see how well it worked.

I went for a jog last night to try this out and it did amazingly well. It stayed put and it wasn't very uncomfortable. I just put my earphones in and off I went.

*Happy Thursday!*
