Feature Friday

It's Friday!  You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to the different pace of the weekend! :) Today's feature is my wristlet/ clutch. It is fully lined with a nylon zipper closure, and a ribbon handle. The crocheted flower is a pin! It's kind of a bonus accessory because you can play with placement, or wear it on part of your wardrobe.  It could even be pinned onto a headband! Cute kitties adorn the wristlet with fun red fabric lining the inside. Use it when you don't want to carry a large purse.  It would also make a great gift!  You can check out the other details of this fun accessory here.
Have a fantastic weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!

Fabric Flowers

I made these flowers for Easter for my girls and I.   They were fun to make! They didn't take much fabric or time! :) I found the instructions in a book from the library by Elizabeth Searle.  All of her flowers measure about 3 inches in diameter.  That was perfect for what I wanted, but may be a little larger than wanted for headbands or other hair accessories.   I don't think it would be to hard to alter the patterns to create smaller flowers or even go larger for home decorating, such as on a wreath for your front door.  :)
One very good tip in the book was to use a more sturdy thread such as quilting thread. Also be on the lookout for buttons or other bling for flower centers!  :) I'm hoping to get more of these made and added to my shop soon! Happy Wednesday!

Fabric Flower

Wow! We are to Thursday already! ! The week has flown by! I hope you have accomplished much. :)   I'm thinking of making an accent pillow for my living room.   I want to add some texture to my pillow... so I did a quick search on making flowers.   I'm liking this little flower!  The great tutorial on how to do it is here.  Have fun!  I'd love to see what you make with this quick and easy project! I'll post a pic of my pillow when I get it done!
