New project

So I have been thinking that I want my bridesmaids to have something cute in their hair.

When i told my little sister about making headpieces you would have thought I told her we are all shaving our heads before the wedding. I sent her a few pics of ideas I was looking at and she loved them!! So this is my next project! I just love the one with the netting for myself. I saw it on http://kenziekate.blogspot.com/ Something Old Something New Blog. They are by Twigs and Honey and are simply beautiful! I also saw this cute yellow one on http://julieplustodd.blogspot.com/. She made them herself for her bridesmaids and I think she did a great job!!

Wedding Season in Bloom

These are rings that I saw in a Martha Stewart Wedding Magazine back when my sister was getting married! Just like my sis and her husband- those rings and I were love at first sight!!
I made them for her wedding using burgundy and ivory flowers. They were a hit so I have started making them for my girlfriend's weddings. The pic above is from a wedding back in June- same wedding that the log cabin quilt was made for- note the same colors!
These are very easy to make- just get the fabric elastic, silk flowers (colors to match wedding color scheme) and a glue gun. Cut and glue the elastic into a little ring (measure it out on your finger, making some bigger and smaller) then cut the silk flowers off the stems and glue to together on the elastic. I glue them where the elastic is glued so you hide the seam. I like to use two different types of flowers- i have even made all white ones and it still looks cute if you change up the flower type and size.

Tune in Tokyo

This is the Tokyo Tie Bag!! I got the pattern from the Sew Everything Workshop book- which is a great book for people who are starting to sew! I have made a few of these bags. It's a very simple and easy bag to sew together and it makes for a fun gift!
