Rosette Flower Headband

The rosette flowers have been around forever and they 

are so easy to make. I've added them on shirts before for some 

added details but haven't made a headband from them yet! 

My little sister (who's 12) came to stay with me for a night and wanted

to do some craft projects. There was no way I could say no to that! 

First up was the rosette flower headbands.

There's so many variations you could do with this headband. 

I did my first one on a headband like the one above, my second one

on an adult elastic headband and my third one on some
dollar bin headbands (70%off!-Score!)

The best part of this headband is that it's no sew and simple!

It's so easy my little sister could make them, and they turned out cute!

Tipjunkie has a full tutorial on how to make your own. 

It really is simple and turns out so cute. 

I made some for my daughter and for my sister. 

These would even be a cute & simple gift for any little girl!

Hannah has the perfect hair too!
So jealous....

I really love how they turned out...and how easy they were!

No Sew Ruffle Bib Tee

I was so excited when I looked at Targets ad this morning and saw all their 

plain fitted tees are $5!!! I went right away and I bought one...I may have to go back

and buy 5 more (but don't tell my husband!) I whipped up this awesome

no sew shirt in minutes. I love the simpleness of it, and how cute will it look

this fall under a cardigan or jacket? Ahh...I'm in love. 

Here's what I did! I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the ruffle fabric. It's $12.99

a yard but you can print a 40% off coupon on their website. You only need about an 1/4 of a yard.

I purchased a gray scoop neck tee from Target and some Wonder Under from Joann's (don't worry

it's only $9.99 a yard in the store and you only need about 1/4 yard, plus don't forget to use 

those coupons!)

I took my Wonder Under and placed it on top of my shirt, rough side down. 

Next I traced on the paper the neckline of the top and also how big I wanted

my 'bib' to be. 

Next following the Wonder Under instructions I ironed the ruffle fabric on to the Wonder Under.

Once it was ironed on I cut out the ruffle fabric along the lines I drew earlier, when I traced

the neckline and bib area of the tee. Now peel off the back of the Wonder Under and place

your bib onto the tee. Make sure you have it exactly like you want and then iron it on!

Make sure it pressed really well, especially if you aren't sewing along the edges. 

TA-DA! You're done!! 

(If any of these instructions were confusing please let me know and I'll clarify)

Make sure you wash it gentle cycle, inside out and line dry. 

If you want it to look fancier-here's a tutorial from Make it & Love it on how to sew it on.

Lace Striped Tee-No Sewing Required!

I'm a tee and jeans kind of girl in the summer; anything more than that is way too much to handle while chasing around a bunch of crazy toddlers ;-) I decided this summer I'd whip up some cute embellished tees. 

A friend of mine bought this tee at JCrew. I really love the simplicity of it! And I knew I could easily make one!

Joann's & Hancock's have a bunch of their lace on clearance. I got mine for $.99! 

I purchased a tee from Target for $6 and got to work. At first I pinned the lace on and sewed along the edge, using my walking foot. Well somehow my pins came undone and the second lace line turned out bad!

See the big arch under the left bust area? Ugh. I tried to seam rip it which didn't work too well

because the sewing already caused tiny holes in the shirt. I knew I needed to do something different.

I pulled out my Wonder Under and ironed on the last strips! Simply iron on the Wonder Under onto the

lace, peal off the backing and iron the lace onto the shirt. Easy peasy! I wish I would have tried that first....

Oh well, I suppose I will just have to wear this shirt under a cardigan to hide my little mistake :-)
