    made this a while back and got it on sale on etsy.
    i think the one thing i would do different is putting normal straps on it rather than thet straps being part of the back!
    you knwo waht i mean?

    honestly, that looks great. the fabrics.. I mean.. they're all so different but they somehow look great together. :D It's very eclectic and wonderful lookin. I think you set it at a fair price too. :)

    Oh I'll get it posted on here when it's done. I haven't made one in a while either!

    I've been meaning to ask, is your etsy store your main source of income or do you do something else on the side?

    gahhh I'd love to be a crafter or something full time like that... Anyhow. :rolleyes:

    no im not a full time crafter yet.
    iv been on the etsy site almost 2 months now, was slow at first but getting better now, iv managed to get myself a bit more known.....

    i sell on ebay aswell, mostly vintage items and such things i find about the place (altohugh ebay annoys me its paid for my trip to the middle east and africa in october )

    then i work as a counter clerk in a post office.

    id lvoe to be a full time crafter/artist though
    i guess it will jsut take time

    what i mean is that the straps continue to do up the back of the top-
    im thinking maybe i should do them seperate next time

    Arlia, i absolutely love your stuff, you have a lot of talent and i'd love to see you make more clothes, you have a great eye for colours that work well. If i had a million pounds there'd be nothing left in your etsy shop, :D xxx

    Those fabrics are so retro so awesome. I think the price is fair. If you have awesome fabrics you can usually get more for something.
