New Items! Blue Ruffled Scarf and Yellow Flowered Earwarmer!

*whew* It's the first week back at college and I am TI. RED. Too tired, in fact, to realize that "tired" doesn't look like much of anything when you try and separate out the syllables for emphasis.

Suffice it to say that it's been a long week. This patternista needs 5 more hours in the day so she can sleep. But despite that, I've managed to put some lovely(IMO) new items up in the shop today!

The first is this yellow earwarmer with a flowered accent, this time in a lacy ribbed pattern rather than a basketweave one. I'm thinking of making LOTS more of these because I really like them--hope this one sells online quickly and inspires me further. 

The other item is another curly, ruffled scarf. I don't care if these sell or not, I think they're amazingly cool and will probably make a million more. In this shot the scarf is tucked and wrapped to form a warm ruffly collar, but it's quite long and can also be worn draped like a regular scarf.

To find out more about each item, either click on the pictures or HERE to get to the shop. 

Now I'm off to finish a nifty custom ordered hat...

Peace!

New Item: Estonian Earwarmer!

Hello SweetShoppers! So do you remember last week's yarn of the moment? I'm happy to say it's been turned into this:

The Estonian Earwarmer!! 

Basically, it's a thick basketwoven headband in a neutral multicolored yarn that goes with everything.

Product Swap: Clutch from Sewgrown.blogspot.com

SweetShop Creations Cowl, thrifted Lacoste sweater, and the cutest little clutch from Sew Grown

So way back in the annals of time(December to be more exact) I came across the fabulous sewing tutorial blog Sew Grown. The owner, Steffanie, makes these gorgeous handmade clutches and hosted a giveaway around the holidays. You know I was on that like white on rice, right?

In any case, I felt like since I also make things, we should do a swap! So I sent her one of these...

Spring Fling! No, really, that's what it's called...

 

...and she sent me the gorgeous clutch pictured above. Am I styling with my pastels and spring manicure? Yes I am!

In any case, the idea was, we'd swap, we'd blog about what we swapped, but then she moved to a new house and I moved to a new country and we're both really busy...so uh, yeah. Six months later, I am blogging the fabulous clutch. Forgive me Steffanie. Will it help if I tell everybody how much I LOVE this clutch?

No really, I love it. I'm not a clutch woman, I'm more of a big old bag that can carry an iron woman(as seen in my fashion blog). But Steffanie's clutch is just SO cute and pretty and bright...I love it!

It's a bright floral print with a gorgeous royal purple lining to keep all your stuff safe...and it carries quite a bit. I took this with me on a quick jaunt the other day and it easily held my phone, keys, big ol' wallet, lip gloss, and a pack of gum. Couldn't fit my iron in there though, although I was tempted to try. 

It's also got a nifty kiss lock that stays shut and doesn't slip open. Floral print, cute shape, lining, kiss lock(officially my favorite name for a lock)...it's like the biggest cutest girliest change purse ever. I love incorporating it into new outfits.

While I'm being a gushy girl, let me show you my favorite part of the fabric...

Yes, ladies and gents! It's a bird! A tiny cute bird flying away from a Barbie guitar into a field of blue...

Anyway, Steffanie's wonderful blog with loads of good sewing and helpful tutorials and cute family and feminine style flourishes can be found HERE. I can't sew at all, but someday when I learn, I will be allllll over this super cute belt tutorial. Go visit Sew Grown!
