heidi headbands
I finally got around to doing another project from Bend The Rules Sewing. These heidi headbands were pretty easy, although some of my ribbons were narrower than specified and without a bodkin the tubes were a bit tricky to turn. I sent one to my sponsor child in Uganda, I hope she likes it!
And, a big shout out to Chrisy of sophism press who featured one of my brooches in a recent post on garment reuse/upcycling (alchemy?) crafting. I got a kick out of being mentioned alongside Lori Marsha and Gary Harvey.
