N.E.E.T. Feature + Tutorial

7 Comments

I’ve had this in the works for some time & I’m so excited to finally be able to share this with you!! N.E.E.T. approached me a while back to develop a fashion tutorial for their summer publication & I gladly accepted. I actually wanted to do the fringed necklace (from yesterday) for the publication, but decided for a coin purse instead.

Again, I went with the leather & the fringe. Call me obsessed. I developed the pattern; and with the help of Jill we made a couple of versions & shot the tutorial. Now it’s available for viewing (and download) over HERE. A couple of tips when browsing the magazine, our tutorial is on Page 152 and you have to click through each page in order to get there. Just click at the edge of the digital page or just to the right of the center fold. Also, if you’d like to view the tutorial & images larger, download the Pattern PDF. It has all of the instructions on a larger scale along with the pattern pieces.

Jill was the one who painted the pouch on the right. Didn’t she do a fabulous job? I would’ve either done a solid color or chevrons. I love that she has a different perspective than I do. She helps push me forward with my style & design. Click the button below to download the printer-friendly version of this tutorial & for the pattern pieces. I’d love to see how you make this tutorial yours! Email me pics or link to your pics in the comments.
