Mi sono procurata dei cerchietti sottili a poco prezzo, li ho ricoperti con della stoffa avanzata da lavori precedenti, e poi mi sono sbizzarrita nel creare fiori e decorazioni per arricchirli.
Per ricoprirli ho tagliato una striscia di tessuto, che ho piegato nel senso della lunghezza e ho poi cucito su tre lati, in modo da ottenere una sorta di sacchettino lunghiiiissimo in cui infilare il cerchietto. L'ultimo lato, uno dei due corti, l'ho poi chiuso con piccoli punti a mano.
Per i fiori un po' mi sono ispirata ad alcuni tutorial, ne potete trovare qualcuno in questa mia board di Pinterest, e un po' ho inventato.
Se inizialmente ho pensato a qualcosa di più "tradizionale"...
Man mano che procedevo mi sono lasciata andare a righe, colori
e variazioni di materiali.
E incredibilmente, sono andati a ruba tre amiche, colleghe, amiche di amici ecc...
Ne è rimasto, per ora, solo uno, che trovate nel mio shop.
Una farfalla in strati di stoffa nei colori dell'estate. Il tessuto a quadretti è originale degli anni '50, mi era stato regalato a suo tempo dalla mamma di Giorgio.
Lo trovo fresco e delicato, ma al tempo stesso ironico.
E ora, per mantenere i buoni propositi, vado a farne uno anche per me...
ENGLISH TEXT
I suck with hair…I’m not able to make any hairstyle, when I have to cut them I’m always anxious that they would be ugly ... and my hair are so straight and limp as overcooked spaghetti and refuse to keep any style also with the hard way, so really they give little satisfaction... Every time I intend to treat them a little better, perhaps by doing a simple ponytail, or using some accessory such as barrettes or bands... but knowing me I believe that the ideal is to start with the easiest accessory, the headband.
I purchased some cheap headbands, I covered them with remaining fabrics by previous work, and then I generously dispensed to create flowers and decorations to enrich them.
To cover them I cut a strip of fabric, which I folded in lengthwise and sewed on three sides, so you get a sort of looong bag in which thread the headband. I closed The last side, one short of the two,with small stitches by hand.
For the flowers I took inspirations from some tutorials, which you can find in my board on Pinterest, and I also invented.
If I initially thought of something more "traditional"...
As I proceeded I let myself go with stripes, colors
large rosettes
and variations of materials.
And amazingly, they went like hot cakes among friends and colleagues.

It remains, for now, only one, that you can find in my shop
A butterfly in layers of cloth in the colors of summer. The fabric is original from the '50s, Giorgio’s mother gave it to me some time ago.
I find it fresh and delicate, yet ironic.
And now, to keep the good intentions, I'll make one for me ...
