Then I laid out my pattern for the necklace (soon to be Chanel inspired chain)

Then I got to sewing once I measured out how much of the necklace I would need. I ended up having a few inches of the necklace I had to cut off.

Sewing, sewing, sewing….

Half an hour later I was done!!

And feeling so fancy!!

Even with little sewing skills, I bet anyone could do that. I’d love to see your versions of this classic and easy project!
