For Sheri’s kid. The pattern comes in a 2/3 or a 4/5. Kelly’s more of a 3/4 and so is Campbell. You can see where this is going, right?
The fabrics came from the wall of cottons at Hancock’s. I made my own double fold trim for the neckline (using one of these) instead of using bias tape. I couldn’t find a brown that matched well enough for my OCD tendencies. I also used some of the trim for the outer tie instead of ribbon — again with the brown issue.
These are going to become hair clips to match another wrap dress.
If you want to make your own, you will need:
I cut 2 3″ X 6″ rectangles of each fabric and 2 3″ X 6″ rectangles of Wonder Under.
Put the wrong sides together and iron again.
You should have 4 flowers, 2 of each fabric.
Stack your flowers, alternating fabrics.
I take a stitch or two through the 4 layers of flowers before attaching the button, just to make sure stuff doesn’t shift around. Then, sew on the button. Tie it off on the back. I like to wad up my flower a bit aftewards so it has some dimension. Attach the flower to a clip or pin or whatever. This one found a home on a purse I made a while ago.
(Don’t look too closely…there’s a little blood on that button in the center.)
I’m addicted to your apples (thanks Tam). I don’t even balk at paying $5 a piece for them. Mostly. I have started making my own version of the apple pie apple. Don’t judge. Casey does it too. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah…PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, DO NOT SELL ANY MORE OF THAT DISGUSTING KEY LIME APPLE!
I used this tutorial (only her frame is way more awesome and definitely not from IKEA). Fabric is more Heather Bailey leftovers from the ironing board project.
