leather handbags


are different methods for constructing leather handbags the same as there are for houses. There is the log house, the A frame, the frame house. They can have different windows, foundations, dormers etc. The same is true of handbag construction. Take a look at some of my leather handbag styles.



The first step in making a leather handbag is to find a picture of a handbag you like, or draw a picture of something you want. You then need to decide what methods you will use in it's construction. There
After you know the different types of handbag construction you can combine methods to get the result you want. It is important that you think about the construction step by step so that you can do the necessary operation while you have access to the part. You can't sew a pocket into the lining after the bag is complete. You have to do the operation when it will fit into the sewing machine.

When someone asks me to make them a custom leather handbag I decide on the construction method from experience. If they want additional features I may have to modify the method or change to another method. For instance, there are a lot of ways to make the bottom of a leather handbag. Will the seams be on the center of the ends or on the corners. If the seams are on the corners, an end pouch can be sewn onto the end before the leather bag is assembled. If the seam is on the center of the end as on the leather handbag we are about to make, the pouch would have to be sewn on after assembly when that seam has been sewn. This is more difficult. The more difficult you make the bag to assemble the more likely you are to sew something crooked, wrong or through another part of the bag. When doing jacket repairs it's what I call. "sewing your elbow to your knee".

HIGH HEELS


















It’s been fairly universally acknowledged that the shoe is the new must-have fashion item. Now that Hilary Alexander has declared it so, it’s official!

But not just any shoe, the so-called “killer heel” at heights of four, five, even six inches and bolstered by towering platforms and selling for more than $2,000 on average. For spring 09 these shoes are piled high with adornments, like the Louis Vuitton “Spicy” sandal collection seen above. Rare and exotic leathers, tribal-inspired fringe, beads, sequins, rivets and almost anything else you can imagine on a shoe has been piled on to these few pairs. Victoria Beckham and Madonna have both been seen in the collection.

how to control your face from face control




According to Max Factor's chief make-up artist, Jan Thomas, contouring and highlighting your face can bring out your cheek bones, shorten your nose, slim your face and rid you of a double chin. Here's how to do it ...
1. "Think of your face as a canvas," explains Thomas. Once you've applied foundation to even out your complexion you need to shade and highlight areas to create shape. Think of the principles of light and dark — any areas made darker will appear as though they're receding, and anything made lighter appear as though it's coming forward.

2. "I think the easiest product to use is a bronzing powder without too much shimmer," explains Thomas. Always start with a little on your brush and build it up gradually.
3. Begin by building your cheek bones. To do this, add a little bronzer below your cheek bone, from the hairline to towards the apples of your cheek, in a wedge-like shape. This trick is especially good for women who have very round faces. "[Contouring is] all about reshaping your face and giving it sharper edges — you can never have too-high cheek bones," says Thomas.

4. To make a wide or very round forehead appear narrower, shade just the temples or sides of the forehead, and to slim a wide nose, apply the bronzer down the sides of your nose. Want your nose to appear shorter? Shade the underside of the tip.

5. Disguise a double chin by shading the area under your jaw line. Blending is key in contouring your face — the idea is that you can't see where the contouring starts and stops.
If you don't have deep-set eyes (ie lids that are still visible when your eyes are open), make them pop by shading along the crease line. Do this either with the bronzer or an eyeshadow that's a shade darker than the colour you'll wear.

7. To bring areas of your face forward, thus emphasising them, do the opposite to contouring and use a highlighter (most likely a shimmery powder a bit lighter than your skin colour). The areas you want to do this to are your new-found cheek bones, and the centre of your eyelids. When it comes to your lips, dab a lighter lip shade or illuminating cream just in the middle of them.

Contouring and highlighting your face can take a little practice, but as Thomas says, "Once you start, you'll want to do it every day." His tip: try it next time you have a big event coming up and take note of how you look in photos taken on the day. "People in film, TV and pictures can't live without [this trick]."

NB: You don't have to use a bronzer and highlighter to do this make-up trick — darker and lighter foundations can be used as well.
