DROPDEAD recently released a small sneak peak of the upcoming winter 2012/2013 collection and i'm already in love with it! look at those shirts, i could instantly order them both! dropdead's one of my favourite clothing web stores, i love nearly all of their stuff, you should really check them out!
i used my last free days to do basically the last big DIY for a while: my own leather mini backpack. i've wanted one of these cute little bags for ages, but either they're too expensive - like the chanel or prada ones - or just inexistent.. so i decided to sew one myself. i had plenty of leather left, the rest of my leather-sleeve DIY, so this backpack is pretty much sewn out of one leather jacket! it took me nearly 3 days to handsew that thing but i think it was really worth it, i love my new bag! 
first takes with my DIANA MINI! actually there weren't a lot of good photos, but don't my little cousins look adorable wearing the scream mask?
and some HOLGA-photos, too! actually from the red corner festival, wich was like three months ago.. well, i'd better get more into lomography again, especially now that i have those two awesome cuties!, one for standard (holga) and one for square and panoramic shots (diana) - that's why they love each other so much ♥ 
this is what your spiral-pack should look like before dying.
for the 'crumple-pattern' i wanted to achive for the sweater, just crumple it together and wrap some twine around it to secure it.
mix the bleach in a clean plastic bucket by following in the instructions on the package. completely dip the sweater into the dye, it should be completely covered with liquid, and leave it in there for some time (1h with my dye, might be different with yours!) the longer you leave it in the paint the darker and more intense the colour gets, so for a pastell colour just leave it in a bit shorter.. take it out afterwards and rinse it in the sink to get most of the leftover dye out. then put it into the washing machine, but be careful, do not wash it with other things, there's still a lot of dye in it, that could change the colour of the other clothes!
the first shirt i completely dipped into the paint..
..the second one i dipped in just half, it'll create two different patterns!
to create the ombre effect on your shorts, dip them halfway into the dye, then step by step take it out, the top part should sit in the paint for the longest time. take it out, rinse it, then put the other half into another colour. to make a nice transition dip the pants a little bit more into the dye, after some time take it a bit out, so that the first colour is completely out of the paint. some good tutorials here and here on youtube!
the fabric of the sweater soaked up the paint very well, so there's just a very light tie dye pattern, you might not even see on the photo, maybe it'll change a bit after washing..
..completely dipped in and halfway dipped in!
the colours went out very dark and intense, i hope it'll fade a bit when i put it into the washing machine.. but all in all i think the stuff looks really cool, especially the shirts came out really awesome, dying is so much fun, try it!
if you follow me on facebook you might have read that i visited a flea market this saturday to sell some of my old stuff.. well i didn't just sell, i also looked around a little bit and found some awesome stuff, as there's always a lot of cool stuff on flea markets!
