Hair Clip Fascinator Tutorial
I am kind of addicted to making these, you can make so many variations! I keep looking in my fabric stash and thinking “Oh, I could make something with this!”. I tell you, it is no good for my OCD of throw no fabric piece away, for you may just need it one day issue.
flax & twine: Day 1: A Strand of Pearls - a diy ribbon and pearl necklace
Yippee–here it is–Day number 1. I think this necklace actually was the first thing that I made in my jewelry-making frenzy to fill Allie’s Advent Calendar. I love the blue next to the pearls and love the lines the undulating ribbon and smooth pearls make together. This ribbon strand ties in a bow in the back to whatever length your little girl desires. The overall length on this one is 28″, but with the bow, she can shorten it to whatever length she likes.
Re-purposing: Tshirts into 5-strand-braided-headbands
I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven. I decided they were charging way too much for something that could be made with t-shirt scraps. And that means free.

T-Shirt Refashion: Jersey Necklace
Sometimes I feel like I ride on the coattails of creative people. Back in January as I was surfing my favorite blogs, I came across this post on Ultra Vroom about cardigans and fabric necklaces. I instantly fell in love and had to have a fabric necklace for my very own. I week or so later I remembered the large stash of white jersey hanging around the basement and hap-hazardly made my own version of Annie‘s fabric necklace. If I remember correctly, I wore that necklace for 4 days in a row.

DIY Skirt
Getting our craft on again :) My sister Ann and I always like to do a crafty project when we get together, so this time is was a simple homemade skirt. We used this tutorial and it was really straightforward. One helpful hint: when it says to stretch the elastic while you are sewing the fabric on, do it! It will allow the skirt to fit better and more comfortably. You can also make one for a smaller cutie pie in your life or make some great baby shower gifts! It's a fun project that doesn't require mad sewing skills.
