This year...
a ruffly silk headband (or bracelet)
{bright yellow china silk + yellow grosgrain ribbon}
{me, frantically modeling and taking pictures right before wrapping it up}
and a super simple top.
{cotton print from Bolt44, pale yellow cotton knit for a flowy bottom}
P.S. This headbands was dead simple and so satisfying to make. I'll try to get pictures together for a tutorial soon - I just need to get more supplies first.
Both are so pretty. Your sister is lucky to have you.
ReplyDeletethat's so pretty! wow :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely. I'm digging the ruffled, unfinished edges of the silk -- so raw and perfect. And the top looks quite comfortable, a necessity for the summer sleeveless!
ReplyDeleteso pretty! i can't wait to see your tutorial since i'm always so bitter buying horribly expensive anthro headbands!
ReplyDeletewow, that headband is so pretty. I can't believe you made that!

Pfff, you couldn't do "frantic" if you tried. It's super cute, and you look calm and gorgeous. Is your sister calm and gorgeous too? :)
ReplyDeleteLove them both! That yellow is so cheery. It reminds me a bit of the felt flower brooches at Anna's etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7036714
ReplyDeletePerhaps you would adopt me as your long lost sister.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a slight chance we might be related.
1st blog cousins or something like that.

Wow, that headband - and the colour! - is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat's super cute! I love that yellow... very spring inspired. I made a necklace last week that's similar but I used lace. I'll post it in a few. :) HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
ReplyDeleteWow, that headband is so gorgeous-and that color just pops-how lovely! I will anxiously be awaiting the tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your sister is so lucky. Love the color and just the right amount of ruffles:)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And I *super* heart that cheery ruffly brightness for the hair!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, your sister is so lucky!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you picked the perfect color for the headband!
ReplyDeletehow in the world did you do it? i was seriously dreaming up a hairband exactly like this last night as i was trying to decide what to add to my bestie's baby gift box. can't wait for the tutorial.

LOVE the headband. I wish I were brave enough to try sewing. One of these days, I'll do it. (That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.)
