So after my shipment came from American Apparel last week, so with the insane amount of fabric which came with my 'Bag-O-Scraps' me and Jenna set about making some swah-eeet garms. But not before we caused absolute chaos in my living room!
Jenna made a gorgeous woolen headband with a bow and elastic backing! It looked great on and only took her about 5 minutes to sew together!
She also made a bodess/corset from about 8 or 10 long strips of fabric, this took forever and still isn't even finished but still looks good! Surprising quality as well given it was made out of self-confessed "scraps".
I made these two headbands with bows :) the black one is on a braided lyrca band made from long bits plaited together and then tied & frayed. The floral one is a lot larger and just on a length of ribbon.
I also made a circle scarf from several long pieces stitched together, it turned out smaller than i had hoped but still looks cute (plus it's the nicest shade of purple).
This is the thing I'm most proud of, my cropped waistcoat! Took forever to make but was totally worth it, stitched loads of small 'Africa' print pieces together to make the red patterned material the shapes of the pieces draped really well so just left a raw edge. I used a few long strips of jersey to make the back (light grey) and the same material again to make the braided belt, in the same way as the headband above except on the belt there is a few lumps where i had to sew lengths together!
Overall, for the £8 this cost, BARGAIN! Plus all the fun we had making and coming up with crazy ideas ;)
