The roller beanie

So happy to tell you today about the newest member of the Pink Sequin family.

                                                    The roller beanie!

I just love the way this looks. Very similar to the berets but a total different style. Easy to fold up and put in your pocket on those cold windy days.

Felt fun

Fall is coming so that means lot of felt in my work space.

I just found this great Etsy shop.

She sells 100% felt and let me tell you the colours are amazing!  

With my order I also received the colour swatch cards and a great gift. 

We are not talking a bit of string, but actual usable pieces of felt in colours I did not order.

Impressed am I!

Since the arrival of my felt the sewing machine has been busy

Holiday decorating

This week I made my first ever Christmas wreath.

I am really happy with how it turned out. At first I was sure that it will decorate the dumpster , but then....it al came together thanks to a lot of rick-rack thrifted over a the last year.

I started with a basic shape I got from the craft store. Then just ripped up pieces of fabric that I thought would look good together . Next time I will take the time to cut fabric out in stead tearing as I spent a long time making things look neater.

I used some batting to add the curve in front. Next time I will use just a basic fabric to hold these down in place and to give another layer to the wreath.

Once the glue gun was hot I pulled the fabric around the wreath fairly tight. Once the wreath

was covered in fabric I started with the rick rack. This I think really makes it!

Lastly I cut out some flowers from felted sweaters and glued those on with the fun buttons as centers.

In the back I just made a loop with bias tape and it was all done.

Al lot of fun and I love coming home!

The Store at DeCordova

New hats at the Store at the DeCordova museum in Lincoln.

Just dropped off 7 pieces at the DeCordova museum store. Great colours. Charcoal,wine,navy and black. All velour felt decorated with leaves. I used felt and sewed onto the felt with contrasting thread.

All small shapes to hug the head in the cold days to come.

PS Lincoln is so beautiful right now lots of leaves everywhere.
