Bow

Mairuru's blog is fantastic, and a great source of inspiration! It's often updated, and filled with cute and colourful handmade things. Her sewing-by-hand is crazy, and makes me wish that I'd rather sew *more* by hand whenever i fail, rather than turn to my sewing machine whenever I see the result of my hand-stitching..

Today, I found an old post of hers, where she makes cute bows for barettes. Inspired like crazy, I pulled out like half of my pottering-shelf to find something to use. I was planning on using white fabric, lace with a pink ribbon, pink lace and pink buttons, but ended up using only the first two. This as it took longer time than expected (as mentioned, my sewing-by-hand could be *somewhat* improved) so I made it a bit smaller, but also as it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted. It's cute already, I just think I might do some more before I get the hang of it... *Glances at the sewing machine* ..What if I could make the seams more even and.. No, not this time, right? This time I'll have to do it the hard way.
