Easy DIY Headbands
I made myself a few new headbands that are reversable. I used ribbon – about 14 inches long – and I used elastic – about 6 inches long. I used black elastic, there is colored elastic available to purchase and match the ribbon.
The black headband is 2 pieces of glittery black ribbon sewn together. I sewed the top long edges together and then across the bottom. Then I inserted the elastic between the 2 pieces of ribbon and sewed the ends closed.
This 2nd headband is reversable. One side is a blue sheer ribbon and the other is a silky pink ribbon. I didnt sew all the way around the two ribbons. I only connected them on the ends where I sewed the elastic.
The 3rd headband is also reversable. One side is the glittery black ribbon and the other side is pink.
These are easy to make and can be jazzed up by adding buttons or flowers sewn on. Or glue on sequins, beads, jewels, feathers, etc.
Handmade Versatile Dress
I love the infinity dress and similar variations of it. So I made this purple silky version for myself. There’s so many ways to wear this dress. I love how soft and comfy this dress is. Here’s a few of the ways it can be worn:
Braided Scarf
I was reading about braiding yarn and ribbon together to create long scarves. I loved the idea! So I made a few of them. The first has brown ribbon running through it, for a more earthy feel:
I like all the different ways to wear a skinny scarf. It can dress up a sweater and jeans.
I really like the yellow in the second one. Cheery and bright.
The 3rd scarf is just teal and black for a more simple look, but it is slightly thicker than the other two:
Crocheted Scarf
This lovely teal scarf is done with the Double Crochet. The colored border is also a Double Crochet. In the past few days I have made 3 new scarves.
Crocheted Scarf
I made this scarf out of a multi colored yarn. The colors are gorgeous!! I love how the colors look throughout the scarf. It is very warm and soft.
Large Handmade Tote
I crocheted the handles with a lovely multi colored yarn. The tote is made with a very pretty maroon fabric. The tote is lined, no seams are visible (hidden in the lining). I have some more of this material so I would love to make a few more totes.
DIY Fashion
I’m the type of person who has lots of crafts going on at once. I’m finishing some pillows to go with some blankets, working on a journal swap, and in between that, I found time to make this skirt and dress. I made the skirt a while ago but I never finished it completely. I only had the waist band and skirt part finished. Today I finally added a ruffle to the bottom. I was originally going to buy lace for the bottom. But lace is expensive. And this neon green and blue material matches perfectly. I made this dress a while ago too. But the straps didnt come out right. So I re-did them in black. I like it better now.
This skirt twirls like crazy!! There’s lots of ruffles. The skirt is made with a light denim. The denim is covered in stars. It’s sparkly and really fun.
The ruffled layer across the bottom of the skirt matches the stars really well. Sort of reminds me of something a rollergirl might wear…..
This is truly one of a kind 🙂
I love wearing this skirt! There’s just sooo much fabric!
This dress is fun to wear as well. It pairs nicely with leggings or boots. Looks great worn as a dress with some sandals or with pants under…..
I am also working on new mittens. I have the insides lined with this pink cotton/flannel so they are nice and warm…

I have been doing a lot of planning… I’m contemplating some small business stuff, new clothing, jewelry, scarves, craft shows, etc. I have also been making some new skirts, altering some old skirts, and buying new fabric! Here are 3 handmade skirts made by me ….
