Up-cycling old pants into a pouch

Hi 

I am back with an easy DIY Project. 

There is this favorite pair of pants of mine which I could not really throw away. Also, since many days I was thinking of making a pouch. But you know, I do not have a sewing machine and nor do I know how to use a sewing machine. I had been thinking of making a pouch which involves less sewing and then I got this idea. since both sides of the leg of the pants are already stitched, I only had to stitch up the third end to make into a pouch.As soon as I got some free time, I put this idea into working. I stitched my nephew's name coz I did not have any other idea in mind and also I have been thinking of making something for him with his name on it. And you know what, it exactly fits his Samsung Tab. He is so very happy to have a pouch with his name. Here is a detailed tutorial on how I made the pouch

In the end I had to add a zip or button. I did not have button ready at home. And adding zip required sewing machine(did not have a zip also ready at home). Since Rishith was gonna use it for his Tab it did not require full zip so I thought why not add a little ribbon bow, just to prevent the Tab from sliding out. And here it is all done.

With the Samsung Tab

Crepe paper and ribbon Flowers

I had made crepe paper flowers earlier using this tutorial:

I used them on my DIY photo frame. Since it was my first time, flowers did not come out that well.

After my exams got over, I immediately decided to sit and learn to make some flowers. These are the end products

 I still did not master, the art of making perfect flowers. Also there are lot many styles to learn.

Life update

Hi people,

As usual, my posts occur once in a blue moon, but hopefully in a few months I ll write often.

Coming to my life. It ha s been study study until May, for the exams. Then in June, I had to give Company secretary Exams. Mid June to Mid July was fun at my sister's place. Since it was vacation time for my nephew too, got to play and spend lot of  time with him.This was the first time I spent so many days with him, without worrying about office or studies or his school.

In the end of July I had to attend a Communication skills programme. It was fun. A lot of fun. I made many new friends. Learnt a lot. The activities were super fun.

And I saved the best bit for the last. My exam results had come in July and I cleared one group in CA final. One more group and I will be a Chartered Accountant. I am Excited. Lot of plans for future.Will share all once they materialse.

That's it for now.See you all later.
