Fabulous Reversible Headbands - A Must Make!!!

Wow, I had to share this with you!  The lovely Robyn from Sewing The Seasons has just released her very first pattern The Reversible Headband by Arjay Creations.  I made one last night and it was super quick and easy to make and my daughter LOVES that it is two headbands in one!


One side is pink with My Little Pony!


The other side blue with Tinkerbell

I have one happy little girl :o)

The headband is made with a plain plastic headband inside it.  To reverse the headband you simply twist the fabric around the headband beginning from one end and working your way to the other, it's so easy and such a fantastic idea and would make great birthday gifts!

You can see the blog post Robyn wrote about it here

And you can find the PDF pattern here

Here are some variations that Robyn made with hers!!


I think this is the best headband pattern I have seen in a while, my two older girls have asked me to make them one each too so I am looking forward to doing that and seeing what different looks I can come up with!

What unique look do you think you would make with this fabulous pattern?

Happy sewing!!

Easter Sewing Fun!!!

Oh wow, Easter this year was FABULOUS and I feel like it was made all the more special because of the sweet little 'Mummy made' things I gave my girls.  Have a look at what I made for them, I'm in looooove!! :o)


My girls fondly named their bunnies Lulu, Skyla, and Evie.  How gorgeous!! :o)

Here are some close up pics of one of the bunnies and one of the bunny baskets:



I used the following pattern by Flosstyle to make the gorgeous bunny baskets.  This pattern came in my March Sew Box Subscriptions box and I'm so glad it did because I wouldn't have thought to make these gorgeous items for my girls, it made Easter so much more special this year :o)  I wrote about this March box in a blog post here.  You must see what was in the box and the gorgeous Easter dress I made my princess with a link to the pattern I used.

What is fabulous too is the CUTE bunny crown that is an option in this pattern, it would be perfect for Easter Bonnet Parades at Kindy and school.  You can also make them without the bunny ears so they would suit anything, not just Easter!!  You can find this fabulous pattern here.


And while we're on the topic of all things bunnies, here is another bunny I made for a Sweetdipity customer order, isn't she so sweet? :o)


More fun was had over on the Sew Box Subscriptions - Made By Me Facebook group where people were posting their bunnies and baskets left right and centre, everybody LOVED making them!  Also, the lovely Jane from Lil Pip Designs got creative with the other sweet little notions in the box and made the following GORGEOUS hair accessories, which you can read about in her blog post here


Easter this year was absolutely fabulous and it's all thanks to Sew Box Subscriptions!  I have gone from learning how to make hats, to handbags, to metal frame purses, to sewing with knits, and now I have made softies.  This has been a wonderful learning experience for me and I can't wait to see what else I learn in future boxes!!  If you would like to subscribe, which I HIGHLY recommend, you can do so here :o)

Well I hope you had a fabulous Easter with your loved ones, I'd love to see anything you may have made in the comments section of this blog :o)

Have a lovely afternoon and happy sewing!!
