Knotted Headband

Finally, my headband
I saw a post on You Seriously Made That!? for a Nautical Headband.  It Seriously took me a half hour to do the knot, and I actually was going to wait for my husband to come home to help me.  I had all but given up, when my eyes finally figured it out.
Supplies
All you need is a headband, thick yarn (rope would be better), a glue gun and some ribbon.  You will probably do better than I did.  Maybe I just needed some coffee?  You can get the step by step over at You Seriously Made That!?'s blog.

I hope everyone is well.  It's been a busy summer!  Please come by and visit my blog page for more recipes and fun stuff!

Toddler Skirt from my pajama pants

I was about to toss my pajama pants, when I realized they'd make an easy skirt for my little girl. 
I grabbed one of her other skirts, and traced that with an added 1/2 inch  seam allowance on each side making sure to use the elastic in the top of the pants to be the top of her skirt.  

I sewed it together, also keeping the tie for a bow later.

I then cut strips of material to make the ruffle.  I ran a baste stitch and then pulled them till they gathered.  I pinned and sewed that on. Then I hemmed it.


She looks adorable in it.  I'll definitely look at remnants differently for possible toddler clothes again.
