Hello again! (long time no see right?) I realize I'm been pretty bad about posting regularly like I promised, but I will admit that I've been alot busier than planned. Today I have a nice little project I whipped up quickly - a little lace collar/necklace!!
I started out by tracing a the size/shape of collar I wanted on some newsprint paper, and cutting two layers of the fabric accordingly. The intricately patterned lace makes this summertime accessory a easy fit in my wardrobe. It virtually fits almost any outfit and neckline!
TA DA!!
Here's the finished piece :]
I decided to make the back closure adjustable with ribbons (which was easier than trying to use my original plan of having a tighter fitted back).
So to show off my little collar, I went adventuring with one of my dearest friends!
I love how I can use it an an outfit accent - especially since almost all of my summer shoes are either white or cream haha.
So now I must introduce one of my bestest friends: Melisa! (she's a dancer can't you tell?? haha) We've been friends for many-a-year, and we took one pleasant summer day to adventure through a local park.
We wandered through shaded forests and sunlight trails, just chatting and enjoying the beautiful summer day. I love spending time with Melisa - especially because she always knows how to put a smile on my face :]
We also found some little yellow flowers that we played around with for a while. (One of which said flowers, was plucked and fastened as a hair accessory!)
I have another finished sewing project to show you - and will hopefully feature my sewing friend and some of the wonderful creations she's been making.
Well I hope your all having a splendid summer - and keeping cool through the crazy heat!
Ta ta for now
