Fabric Rosette Headband

UPDATE: I have a very basic tutorial here, if you are interested in knowing how I make my flowers.

I was finally able to figure out how to make the fabric roses I have been wanting to use on a headband! The finished product ended up looking like this:

Ah. Absolutely adorable! And it was SOO easy. I didn't have to do any sewing AT ALL! It was all done with hot glue as well as a fabric glue. From start to finish I think it took less than an hour and a half. I'm having to seriously restrain myself from sitting around all day making more, or going out to the fabric store and buying all sorts of cute fabric to use for the flowers.

I've made a few other headbands before I had figured out how to do this particular style. It's not to say that I don't like these headbands, they just weren't exactly what I wanted.


(mmm...don't you just love pictures taken when it is too dark? Nice and bright... :P)

I really like this headband, and apparently I have a thing for sets of three. I can't find the picture of my other headband I've made - I'll have to take a new one and post it later.

Anyway, I'm happy. I like all the headbands and I am especially happy I was able to figure out the fabric rosette.

Scrap Material Bag

This project wasn't exactly on my list of things To Do...but I got the idea in my head and I just couldn't let it go. I actually whipped this bag up in one afternoon with some extra fabric from the mod podge vase. I am really happy with the way it turned out, even though it is quite small.

It would serve as the perfect bag for holding scriptures and a manual, but I just finished making a cute scripture case for myself. I've used it successfully as a small purse, but only when I need the very minimal amount of things. In any case I love it. I love the fabric, I love the button, I love the fact that I made a successful button hole, and I love that it has a square bottom.

Currently my sewing machine is in the shop. While I was working on another project (this one IS from my To Do list) my machine decided it had had enough and stopped working. Hopefully I will hear back from the repair shop soon. Until I do, I'll just have to work on some other important projects that need to get finished.
