Day 2: Floral Hairpin

Today's "thing" is a floral hairpin made from an old thrifted cashmere top.  I just cut three sizes of circles out of the cashmere, and sewed a zigzag stitch around the edge to keep them from coming unraveled and put a slight ruffle in the edges. Then I stitched all the pieces together by hand and added a vintage button in the middle.  A bobby pin is attached on the back of the piece.

  1. That pin is so clever! I love learning how to do stuff like that. Thank you for posting how you made it. I might have to try to make one some time.
