cheap and chic ;)

ok the bag is done babiby.. and i have no idea wat grade i got for the stitching part of it.. will get to know next week. crossing fingers.



the theme: was to take a traditional motif and combine it with contemporary styling/ trends in handbags. there was a lot of freedom given to us regarding the style/size/shape.



so i took the kanjeevram sari (mothers :) and mixed with a very lovely shade of hawt pink. and what i got was the picture put up. i love it. and instead of a traditional strap my teacher helped me modify a belt and make the strap. and i quilted the handbag instead of just stitching it together.. maybe i can make a cushion with the left over sari ..



p.s: mum is still distraught over the loss of a very expensive sari.. lol.. but its all for art baiby..
