I felt a bit all over the place today! I worked a bit on hexagons. Take a look at my teenie tiny whip stitches! So, fun! I can’t wait to teach my students how to do this. Not only will it improve their hand sewing skills, I think they will have a lot of fun with it.
I also attached the ears to my Belle mouse ears headband. Whoo hoo!
Next, I posted my first Learn to Sew page for Basic Sewing Tools. Take a look if you have a minute!
Happy sewing!
They’re getting closer! I was able to work a bit more on my Belle Mouse Ears Headband today. I purchased a few more trims as accents. I found gold cording at JoAnn and perfectly colored flowers at dollar tree. Isn’t it great when that happens!
I also, finished up the ears and wrapped the headband in gold net. Originally, the headband was just covered in Shannon Cuddle 3 Minky in Yellow. The minky works great, but it was a little too fuzzy for my liking next to the cotton fabric ears. The gold net overlay adds a bit more of a princess feel as well.
Next I started the bow using Confetti Dot fabric in Gold & White from JoAnn. I hope it will turn out nice! I am looking forward to finishing these!
One of the main reasons I wanted to learn about English Paper Piecing was because of its portability. It is something I wanted to be able to do on the go. As a result, as I was making the hexagon pieces I had an idea for a project for storing them. I thought a mini messenger bag with more dividers would be really cute, especially for younger sewers. Here is a quick sketch of my idea.
