I finally took pictures of all the yummy head scarves I made for Holiday Market that didn’t sell. I made 150+ and it was an unusually slow market so I’m still rollin’ in head scarves. God bless self-directed self-photography though, seriously. How else could I take this many semi-decent pictures of myself? I love these new-fangled digital cameras.

Check it out…no two alike!

How did I make them? Well, they’re lined with a cute fabric on the side that goes against your head, so first I serged the edges of the lining and the outer fabric together using contrasting thread. Then I attached ribbons to the ends and then I stitched a felt cut-out of a flower onto the finished product using a star pattern. When they’re all hanging over a clothesline together in my booth they look adorable - you can’t help but come in and play with all the dangly ribbons. The display is a babe magnet. ;)

I wanted to post them here first to give ya’ll a first glimpse before I post them on Etsy. I’m going with the 1 Etsy post a day rule - the theory is that your new listing will top-list in people’s searches and bring more traffic to your shop. We’ll see how that goes.

Hope you guys like ‘em! People seemed to like them at market but they just didn’t go as fast as I’d hoped…
