I was looking through a box and came across one of those note pads you get as souvenirs from weddings from like two years ago. This one has a pretty sturdy cover and just like that i got 'inspired' to cover it up...lol. Seriously tho', I'd thought about doing one ages ago but never got around to it...seeing the note pad that day i suddenly thought i bet this won't take me 30mins. And it didn't...
I prob won't use it tho...it's one of those that seems like the pages are glued so flipping the pages back n forth will prob unravel the thing. Meh, i sha made it :).
I also made the Wired head band i mentioned in my last post per my sisters request. This wasn't as easy as i thought. It wasn't hard at all to sew but bending the wire into shape took some doing. I only made one. I'll try it again some other time.
Kreate!!

Ankara Bow Tie & Pocket Square
Crap!! I had my picture ready way before but forgot to put up a post for April. This really was made in April.
Anyways, someone i had made one of the other Bow ties [on this blog somewhere] had been requesting another one. We had cultural day in church a couple of weeks ago so i figured what the heck why not make him one...so he could rock it on the cultural day [we attend the same church]...only this time i decided to throw in a pocket square as well...that was pretty easy to make. I took the easy way out and cut it with pinking shears (is that what they're called? I forget). This way i didn't have to sew the edges. I also used 'No fray' on the ends so they won't unravel soon. I mean, it's a pocket square, i don't expect it will be manipulated much...all it needs is to be ironed into whatever style he wants. The one pictured was one of the many styles available.
I think this is such a fun fabric. My sis requested a 'wired' head band with this fabric so that might be my May DIY.
What do you think?
Would you rock it?
Would you buy it?
How much would you pay for it?
Kreate!!
