I am serious when I say that I don't know when or if I've ever bought a craft or sewing book! But, this one is beautiful, inspiring and uses scraps - what could be better?!Here is another piece of inspiration that I thought was cute and I sort of married the ideas and came up with these goodies!
At any rate - all three of my littles had fallen asleep for a rare lengthy quiet time, so I raided my craft supplies and made these:
I used the method shared in the above book for making my flowers. For the ring, I just stitched on a piece of elastic for the band (using what I had, you know!) and then covered the elastic with fabric.
I'm typically not a big accessories person, but I've already enjoyed these little cuties! For the bobby pin, I simply made another flower and hot glued it onto a bobby pin - I tried stitching it on - but hot glue won!
Next, I'm going to try a headband!

Oh, I saw this book too, but didn't purchase it. The roses you made are so lovely, and such a pretty touch in your hair!
and those flowers looked so cute on you on Sunday! The whole time we were talking, I kept meaning to ask you about them. Then we walked away and I forgot! So glad you posted about them.
I love the new design of your blog. Very beautiful :) :) :)
I love the fabric roses, too :) :)
