Howdy!

Sorry it has been so quiet around here lately. I have been ridiculously busy with my handmade business Modern Wednesday. I plan on picking things up around here very soon I promise!

Until then, stay organized!

Wow! Make a gorgeous clutch from a plastic bottle and fabric. I love the use of recycled denim, but I have a soft spot for upcycled jeans. The tutorial is in Croatian and isn’t the most clear for all steps, but you get the gist and if need be, you can always google how to make the cover.
(Sorry I’m not much more help, but I’m still on my first coffee if you know what I mean.)

Gorgeous lace and ribbon storage from toilet paper rolls. I wonder how many of these I can fit into the vintage suitcase I use to store my piles and tangles of lace and trim.

design factory brought together 2000 Ikea Children’s hangers to make this art installation commissioned by diogo agular and teresa otta of likearchitects.
While I don’t recommend going out and purchasing 2000 new plastic hangers, it does make you wonder what you could do with all the plastic hangers at your local Value Village doesn’t it?

Sew a travelling book case (or storage nook) for your back seat. I’ve always struggled with books for Wednesday (my daughter) in the back seat, now I can actually keep a small supply in the truck. :)
In this photo the organizer is hanging on the front seat facing the back seat, but in her inspiration photo the organizer is hanging in the middle of the back seat to be shared by passengers.
