I'd love to have a studio or a space just for me, but sadly ...I do not! So when my boyfriend left for a short trip, I was so excited to stay home this time: I wanted to create something new, profiting on the (whole) space my creativity deserves!
...Well, basically I made many attempts allowing fabric to scatter everywhere and dwelling myself in the chaos for three days...But in the end, I also manage to came up with the new silk headbands!
They are not listed yet, I think I'll work on it during the weekend. God knows how pitiful I'm at writing items' descriptions - plus now I write in both english and italian, and it takes the double!
Anyway! I put some effort as usual to make the prototype easy reproducible. If you want to Do it Yourself, here my easy tips:
Cut a string of about 8-10 cm wide and 45/50 cm long - depending on the size you fancy the most. Double the string, sew together the open sides, and reverse it to hid the seaming.
Now get a 10 cm piece of elastic band. Let it slip inside. Pin one end of the elastic band to one end of your fabric string, and then stretch it: where it reaches its complete extension, pin it again.You can use any fabric, preferably cotton, or stiff silk as I did!
Have a nice weekend,
