Yo Ho Ho!

My newest addition - Princess Punky Bones:  Pirate Princess!  I had a lot of fun making this clip.  There are so many cute pirate themed outfits for little girls now, and this clip would be the perfect finishing touch to any Pirate Princess outfit!

New Critter Clips!

I've been having so much fun creating new critters!  They are completely original - I didn't use any die-cutting tools to create any of my felt clips, just my poor little fingers in my scissors...  

I have quite a process I go through when I create a new clip.  First, I sketch until I find a design I like.  Then, I photograph it (don't have a scanner yet....) and load it into my computer.  I resize it until it is the size I want for a hair clip or pin and print a few copies.  I use the print-outs to make pattern pieces, which I layout on the felt, pin, and cut.  All my clips are at least 2 layers of felt, sometimes more than 2, so the cutting is the most time consuming part of the clip making.  Once all the pieces are cut, I sew the pieces together, adding any embroidered details as I go.  The clip or pin back is securely sewn into place, and the clip is stitched completely closed!  Voila!  Beautiful felt critter!
