Flower Pins

I have been knitting flower pins that can be used as a broach or to pin a scarf together in a fashionable way. I started with solid colors but have now explored different yarns and combining colors. Here are a few of them:

Other Hand-Knitted Goodies

This scarf was made of three plys of yarn. I also knitted the flower pin that is attached to it.

Here is a close up of the rosette flower pin that I knitted.

This scarf made with boucle yarn imported from Italy that I got at a yarn store in downtown NY

Above is one of my first scarves, I ended up sewing it closed at the ends and making it into a neck warmer since it was on the shorter side!

Knitted Cowl Warmer

This is a neck warmer that I made for my roomate.

Flash Back to an older project

I came across some things that I made awhile ago. I made these bags during a college class I took on scholarship in my senior year of high school called "Sewn Products Entrepreneurship"

The inspiration of these bags came from the artwork of Piet Mondrian and Geometric Shapes in general. I also made stencils for the outside, each bag had its own internal inspiration. I used canvas duck cloth fabric for the self, and printed cotton for lining. I used gold and silver tone chain for the handles. If I were to go back I would have used a thicker interlining so the shape held better. I still can't believe I made these while I was just 17.

Fabric Flower Pins

So these are two flower pins/broaches that I made for a friend of mine.




The fabric came from a dress I have that had pockets which I was not fond of. I sewed them shut and of course, I could not bear to throw fabric away!

I cut and sewed the fabric scraps into a long strip and then gathered the strip until it resembled a flower. I hand stitched this together and glued a pin on the back and voila!

Rug made from recycled towels

In this project, I got the idea from the threadbanger.com Tutorial to make a rug from recycled bath towels. I cut strips of the towels and wove and sewed them together.








This was a very easy project but the only problem I had was cleaning up all the fluff that came off the fabric during cutting.





Note: that area may get a little messy : )








I really like how it turned out.
