First vacation project! Whenever I go on vacation, I bring a few projects that I’m really excited to work on, projects that feel like pure fun and nothing else. As a kid, I was already making earrings and little things out of my brothers’ fishing lures, so there’s something really special about coming back to those childhood ideas and finally turning them into actual pieces as an adult. I found all the fishing lures at flea markets, and all the Swarovski crystals are second-hand too. The entire bag is hand-sewn because I didn’t bring my sewing machine. #embroidery #sewing #handmadebag #fashionstudent #reuse
