Save the date for Incognito on October 28!

So as you may know I am a SCRAP volunteer and huge fan, of course I am going to Incognito, SCRAP's annual fundraiser. I mean who doesn't love to wear a mask?
So I decided to keep the mask simple and cover it with a necktie pattern. Take some old pants and put necktie patches on them and make a few of my fancy necktie fascinators/mini hats (just wear one) and go as a necktie hobo. That's the idea anyway and so far it's all coming together.
Here are a few photos.

I made this last night.  I was just thinking how waking up and remembering to try on your new creation because the glue has dried is better than Christmas :)

You can tell that I'm a high class hobo by my Christian Dior patch.

If you live in the Portland area you join in on the fun. If you click the link above it will lead you to all the wonderful details.
Hope to see you there ~

Necktie Fascinators revisited

Pin It Now!

Okay.  So I finally did it.  I have been wanting to make a necktie fascinator on a larger scale and I finished my first one up today.  I used buckram for the first time (exciting), and I used two neckties in the fascinator instead of one and it really gives it a mini hat feel.
I wore it out today to check out the response, and I got quite a few compliments on it.  Hooray!
I have tons of neckties so this is going to be my go to project for quite a while.  I love it and I hope you do as well.

Embellishing on the Necktie Fascinators

So it's been a while, but I have been maximizing my summer days by being outside.  I hope everyone's summer is going well.
I have been working on the necktie fascinator and have embellished them a bit more with some lace.  I think it gives it a bit more fullness and has a more vagabond look about it.  Here are a couple of photos for inspiration:
