DIY Skirt and Hairband

This skirt is not exactly the vibrant colours required of the April stashbusting challenge but it did bust some stash and provide a gorgeous little girl with a handmade birthday pressie!

I bought the fabric two years ago (almost) to make a similar skirt and hair clip. This time I managed to cut the fabric too small so ended up with an almost identical skirt to the last time which was fine, just not the full skirt I had wanted...!

 I also made a fabric flower (using this tutorial), stuck a rosette in the centre then hot glued it to a alice band, simple!

Linking to these fab linky parties!

DIY Tartan bow hairband for Burn's Day

Today is Burns Day in Scotland, celebrating our most famous song writer and poet.

Little e was to wear tartan to nursery and she wanted it on a hairband so I rustled one up last night, 2 loops of tartan ribbon with a tartan bow on the top sewed together then hot glued on to a hairband.

She also wore hubby's kilt from when he was wee, so sweet!

Linking up to some of these linky parties!
