I promise my next post will be funny and entertaining, but for now I wanted to brag about share my latest craftventures.
Item 1
Skirt with pockets. I made this awhile ago but now it’s warming up so I can actually wear it.
Item 2
Beach bag. I’m not in love with this yet, but we’ll see how it does on it’s test run to Hawaii.
Item 3
I searched erverywhere for a straw fedora I could wear without feeling like a tool, and finally found this one at Urban Outfitters. Adorable bow, but what if I’m not wearing black?
So I took some leftover fabrics and made a new band I can button over the old one, threw together some yo-yos with some spare buttons (I have a bag o’ extra buttons that you get with all your buttony shirts. I’ve used the tiny little ziploc bags they come in to give out seeds as part of a bridal shower gift.), and Bob’s your uncle!
That is all.
I LOVE IT ALL! I have a dress and skirt and two more aprons all cut out, but haven’t found the time to sew. I have to do a bunch of table runners for a bridal shower first.
How do you make those yo-yos? I would love to add a few to a dress!
This is a great video tutorial on yo-yos and other fabric flowers: http://m.wonderhowto.com/how-to-make-six-different-types-flower-rosettes-383502/
Bonus: she’s a cute little Asian lady like yourself 🙂
