I am making a couple of these for my craft show. They are so cute. They are made from scraps of vintage sheets, scraps of rick rack and and a old jar of baby food. I will enclose some stick pins but my pretty vintage buttons...those are not going to be included. You have to find your own pretties!

Last year I made oodles of hair clips from wool felt and vintage buttons. They sold very well at my Green show. The kids just loved them. Adults too. I was getting lots of ladies wanting something bigger and bolder. So this year I decided to make these. They are super easy and fun to make. I have a few on the crafting table to finish up today and then I am off to make more. They are so fun and fast. REALLY fast to make. That is the important part about making stock for a craft show. You want something cute and something fast to make. These are them. I am thinking a tutorial might be needed for this so I can share? What better way to show off your vintage love of fabrics. I am always looking for a way to wear my vintage. And this is just so it!

I made this from vintage pink sheets and a fat quarter of really cute fabric. I made this one a little different from the others. I included a pocket in the inside and I made one side vintage sheets and the other matching the printed fabric.

I made this fabric bracelet by mistake. Yep, mistake. I was trying to make a key chain and I made it wrong so I was thinking now what am I going to do with this. Bracelet came to mind. It will go in the pile of craft show stock.
I made this cute apron.
I did make keychains. I had lot of little scraps piling up so I thought these would be perfect. I am trying to use the sheets as much as possiable. No scrap is too small. I will even have fabric covered buttons to use the smallest amount. I have been dreaming/thinking of how my booth should look this year. I have lots of ideas floating around.

I made this belt from a vintage bed sheet. Its really easy to make and I am going to tell you how.
You will need to find a bed sheet that you like and want to make a belt from. I used a vintage twin size fitted sheet. I tore slowly all the elastic off the sheet and then ironed the sheet. You can cut it if you don't feel comfy tearing. My sheet was rather old and it didn't give me a problem.
I started my belt using 45" length of vintage sheet and 7" wide.
I used two 1" silver buckles.
You will want to measure your waist to see how long your want your belt to be.
(After making my belt it measures almost 44" long.)
Fold over the 45" fabric and cut.
You will now have 2 pieces 45" long and 3 1/2" wide.
Piece one, Fold over both sides and iron. Do the same to piece 2.
Line up both pieces, you will see some uneven areas,
just go back and adjust and re-iron.
This process will save you from having sewn an uneven belt.
For the ends of the belt I just folded each end over and
ironed until even and then I sewed the entire belt closed.
Take both your belt rings and fold over and then sew closed.
Then you are done. Enjoy.
Have fun making them.
Go green at your craft shows this year! XO

(update: I did use interfacing to make it a bit sturdy
and depending on your fabric used you can wash this in the machine/ iron when dry)
