A Headband That Buttons

Hello! 

Here's the deal: I like headbands. But I don't always want a headband that you have to tie or stretch around your head. So I decided to try something different and make a headband that buttons in the back!

I used two different types of ribbon, a black velvet-ish one and a strip of lace.

After sewing them together, I sewed a button on the end of one side, and loop of ribbon on the other side.

Simple as that! Here's a shot of the front and back.

 Now it's off to enjoy my weekend. =]

Recycled Scarf

Someone gave me this old skirt suit made of lace material and since it didn't go with anything I owned, I decided to make something out of it. This is what I used part of the top part of the suit. The skirt I'll tear apart at a later date.

I saw a scarf made of lace and material, and this is my variation of it.

I cut a rectangle of this lace shirt, and long rectangle of the other fabric I wanted to use.

In the original scarf I saw, the creator cut a strip of lace the equal width of the other fabric. I decided not to do this because I wanted my scarf to have clean lines and not have to worry about seeing where the lace meets the scarf material.

So I folded my long rectangle in half and created seams on all the sides that were cut. Then I inserted my lace inside the ends of each side of the rectangle.

And here is the finished scarf.
