WINK, WINK, NUDGE, NUDGE - A FLIRTY DIY

there exists this little trend which has captured my heart.
you must have noticed it; sweaters, shirts and even shoes that wink at you, prance about people's posts and trip packing suggestions. my favorite combinations naturally, have a rather parisian tendency of black and white. the funny thing is that these sweaters also remind me of mimes. don't you agree? they silently, flirtatiously wink at you, putting a smile on your face without making a single sound.

for all of you who know me by now, you may have already guessed that i would try to diy this - and of course i have! here is all that you will need to make your own wink sweater:

thick white sewing thread,
a needle,
an (old) black sweater or cardigan

with chalk draw the wink where you would like it. i placed mine on the pockets of my old zara cardigan. then with the very easy to do chain stitch, sew over the chalked lines...and voila!
don't let the sewing part intimidate you,
{last detail and fun links after the jump!}
it is very simple.

for anyone who isn't familiar with sewing, don't shy away, this is remarkably easy to do. you can find picture instructions here and if you prefer, there is a 3 minute video tutorial

here.
