Fabric Flower.

With one day to go to a friend’s wedding I thought I should perhaps put a little colour into my outfit. I liked the idea of putting something in my hair but where to start. Google images. It is the place I go to for inspiration on a desired project. I suppose it is a bit like pinterest but I have yet to delve into yet another cyber outlet that can otherwise consume more of my time.

Anyways in my trawling through the photos I came across this tutorial on a flower collar by Katiedid. Very cute indeed.

I turned this great idea into a hair clip.

I ended up using light weight jersey, put a circle of felt on the reverse with a hair clip to attach. I am also thinking of adding a brooch pin. 

I am really pleased with how it turned out. As I had left it to the last minute to make I needed to make it right first time. In the end the wedding was beautiful and I wish the happy couple all the best in the future.

 

Something for the mums

As usual everything revolves around the children and very little is given back to the mums. That is why I have started making some simple shoulder bags that are the absolute perfect size to put all your things in and is small enough to throw over your neck (like a messenger bag) and have two hands free. I made myself one many moons ago now and in real need of replacing but… like I was saying about the last to be spoilt. Anyway, a friend asked me to make another and then another friend liked it and asked and so forth.

I can make in any colour for the inside and out and put a neat little pocket on the  inside to hold your keys and mobile phone, no more rummaging.

I sell these for $25 and at the moment making upon request.
