Here are some things I've been working on...

So, I have been super busy creating new things for my shop, "Peppermint Pink" on Etsy. New hats out of re-claimed fabrics.....

New dresses and slip dresses out of vintage slips....

and hair accessories too!

Stop by and take a peek....

Scrap Materials: Project 4: Floral appliques (puffy heart leftovers)

Ok, so once you have completed your puffy hearts you will have something that looks like the above left over from your scraps. I wanted to somehow re-use this also (always thinkin'), so the below is what I came up with. It is almost a pin-wheel looking thing.


You just overlap and pin as you go to get a sort of flower look and then sew. The leopard-style one I sewed a heart cut-out on for the center. I also started fooling around putting flower on top of flower to see what kind of effect I might get and that also looked cute (not pictured). This idea makes a cute, unique brooch pin, add to a hat, sew onto clothes...whatever!
