Felt hair bows

Just for fun to go with the girls Valentine's Day dresses I made some cute felt heart hair clips. Super easy and they loved them. Ava is always pulling hair things out of her hair and she actually let this one stay in. Instead of gluing them or using the sewing machine I decided to use accent hand stitching to hook them together, figured it made them more cutesy and playful looking, but to make Katrena's look a little older I added a cute heart charm.

So what can you do with...

2 bandannas, some elastic, 3 yards of ribbon, and some thread, all for around $5, and 90 minutes or so of your time!!!



You can go to Joy's hope and follow this tutorial here and make a simple bandanna dress (the picture is of the back)!!! It will fit a girl ages 6months to 5 years, or it can be a cute shirt for older girls. The best part is that it can be a summer dress or worn more as a jumper with a shirt under it for the colder months. This one is for my 18 month old for Valentines day. I had planned on making a matching shirt for my 9 year old, but at her request...

I used the same pattern and idea and made a skirt instead.

I love Joy's hope's simple tutorials they are great for the beginning sewer and also for the sewer that doesn't have much time to sew. I had to hem my bandannas because the pattern could go only one way, and I had to get rid of the stamped wording on the bottom, so it took a little longer than another pattern would.

I already have a few more bandanna's ready to go for additional summer dresses for my 18 month old.
