DIY Woven Chain Collar Necklace
Earlier this month Lauren and I escaped city life with our dear friend Grace, of Stripes & Sequins , for a weekend chock-full of sun and DIY.

It was fun to see how wonderfully different the pieces turned out - each so fabulous in their own unique way!

Last summer I told you how I was cutting up my wedding dress to make all kinds of fun (more useful) projects. I called it "I DO, re-done". It was supposed to be this big event and even had a button. Well as it turns out I'm not a big event person and although I love making things from the endless supply of fabric that is my wedding dress, I wasn't strict enough to do a month of just that. So here and there I share projects made from (yes my ACTUAL) my wedding dress.
