Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci

One of the joys of growing up in Miami in the late 70’s /early 80’s was all the crazy opulence abound. People were making insane amounts of money and living in a seriously materialistic world. One of my favorite displays of riches was the Gucci Cadillac. It was a ’79 Caddy Seville with Gucci soft top and the bold red and green stripes.It even came with a set of Gucci luggage. Having always adored Gucci, it was magnificient!

And now, you too can have your very own over-the-top designer car! Kustom Fabricz has a whole slew of designer logo fabric.

Fabric ranges from about $38.00 to around $80.00 a yard. They feature all the swanky brands like Louis Vuitton, Coach, Burberry and a lot more! Imagine a Chanel Mini Cooper or a D & G Mustang! Ah, you can take the girl out of Miami, but you can’t take the Miami out of the girl!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
