YO-YO Hair Clip

I'm trying my hand on another kind of hair accessory using fabrics instead of the usual ribbons. Using a pink fabric with gorgeous princess motif print, I made a YO-YO hair clip. Some may call it Rosette hair clip. I add a felt love cut-out in the middle to match with the prints and also to hide the gathered hole where the fabric bind around.


Somehow...I feel it's not complete just to have the clip so I came up with a matching night pants. Believe it, the pants was done by hand as I have no sewing machine ...yet.....

Loop de Loop

Here's another style where a loopy bow surround the big bow with spikes. The loops give funky look to the bow.

Gone...?

It's been quite a while for not updating this blog. Well.. I've picked up a new hobby - KNITTING, and that very much explained my MIA.

Knitting is really interesting yet quite tough. Need extreme patience. As a beginner, here is my first attempt of making a knit hat. It's a Tomato hat... ha..ha..ha. Seriously, it is called a Tomato hat.

This took me almost 4 weeks to complete with lots and lots of 'frogging' going on. Frogging is the knitting term used when you rip out a whole project and start over. Imagine that...

I'm not quite satisfied yet with this one as the stem was not nicely made. Towards the end, I lost track of my knit patterns and to 'frogging' it again was not what I had in mind. Problem is, I don't have one important tool i.e. the Double-pointed needle (DPN). So, I just knit all the way using my circular knit needle and try to make out the stem. Gonna look for the DPN now....

To me, knitting is really rewarding. We get to see our fruit of labour and have a sense of accomplishment. Well.. almost with my Tomato hat. Thumbs up for a beginner, I guessed.

Simply Sweet

These itty-bitty clips are super deliciously sweet looking.




Paired them up with the ribbon sculptured clippies to have the 'Va..Va..Voom' effect.

Mouse Ear Clippie

An adorable hair bow clip that has a mouse shape attached to the center adorned with a small bow and rhinestone. Isn't it cute.....

Am I Bugging You?

I managed to get a ladybird clip landed on my Azzahra’s head while she was busy with her tricycle. It didn’t take her long to realize something was going on as mommy was busy with the camera ha..ha..

Taken numerous candid shots and luckily got a good one before the ladybug got thrown up in the air.

Headband

I find that ribbon woven headband is a truly unique headband. You can play with the design according to what ribbon colour or print you like. The best part is that you can stick any hair bow with a clippie attachment into the ribbon to make it interchangeable.


This is my first take. The headband is 1” wide. A four color combination of light blue, aqua, white and yellow.

This is what I meant by interchangeable. Sorry, the bows don’t really match with the headband as I’m using them to show how they can be interchangeable.


Simply clip the clippie to any of the woven ribbon (theyr'e not glued).




Other advantages, you can place the bow anywhere either on the left, right or in the middle. Wish I can show these worn on a girl. Yeeeepppppp....Azzahra is no help at all.

Experiment with different colours or printed ribbons and you can have matching hair accessory with outfit.

I’m proud to have completed the headband and would definitely create more in future. Azzahra is excited too. She worn the headband for few seconds and gave compliments on how beautiful the headband was on her. I was scrambling to look for the camera and ends up with this photo.

Anyway, it’s a sign of a good start. BTW, the headband matched with her tees.
