More DIY ideas a-flowing.  How did I manage to miss the DIY shenanigans of Finnish blogger Outi Pyy on her blog Outsapop?  Look on the right and see all her DIY credentials; work on Flickr, contributions to various crafty sites and tutorials on how to create what she calls 'Trashion'.  By mixing trash and fashion, she means she's using unwanted goods to make something good... really good... so good that the word 'Trashion' almost doesn't apply as her creations are not shoddy DIY affairs.  Being the admin of Flickr group Trashionista, she also amazes me with her encouragement of 're-fashionining' aka clothes customisation.  I don't like being preached to (vegetarians could never let me eat my chicken drummers in peace...) but quite frankly, I'm happy to succumb to her not-smug-at-all 'I made this myself' way of life. 

For now though whilst I sit in the corner of my room holding my head in my hands and sobbing 'Why am I not as nimble fingered in the DIY department???', I've asked her to make me one of her signature zipper collars because they're amazing...lots of zippers I tells ya.  Oh and they seem easy to hook onto a simple dress to make a halterneck type thing.  Yes, I've become one of those time-poor twats... I like my fast-route DIY and I'm not afraid to say it out loud goddamnit!
