A mini project

I have decided to start on a mini project, to be honest this is going to be tough.

The other day I popped into Lincraft and also Spotlight( they had a VIP event during the weekend) well in the hopes of finding some material on a project. I usually enjoy making jewelery type of stuff.

Anyways I discovered a vintage floral print material at Lincraft in the remnant section. I don't know how to sew or anything but was inspired by this one piece of material and thought hey I will make a skirt from it. So here is the start of a journey. I may look into getting a sewing machine too (but I am totally clueless at the moment on which ones are good so hopefully I can find good one) I was actually very impressed that Lincraft also prints out washing instructions for this material.

After finding this material I made a trip to Spotlight and found some more material. I am going to take it step by step and see what I can create.

I was also talking to a friend about possibly making something and we decided on setting ourselves a goal and create something by the end of June. Hopefully I can stick to this goal.

Well here are some of the material I found:

The lace materials are really pretty, the teal one was $6.00 per metre and the brown one was $5.00 per metre.

ON A BUDGET?

For those who cannot sew (which is me at the moment) and would like to accessorize their outfit you can buy material for cheap and turn it into a scarf. Here it is:

The colour in real life is more rich in colour like a cobalt blue shade.I purchased half a metre which cost me $2.50. You can easily have a great winter scarf for a great price :)

Tips:

Try to find material which is thick and soft (if you want to create a winter scarf). I think the one I picked up was like a jersey type material.

Check out the clearance section of materials first as they have amazing things there at a great price. This is where I found this material. The ends of this one is frayed which adds more of a scarf feel to it (sorry it didn't show up in the photo).

All you need is approx half a metre.

Now you can wear the scarf with your outfits.
