How to Jazz Up Old Trainers!

There's nothing like a nice comfy pair of trainers but I do like a bit of pizazz on the ol' footwear.  That's why I am loving a post I found over on the brilliant Budget Beautiful blog site HERE.

The finished product looks a little like this.

Soooo, want a little more motivation in trying your hand at your own version?  Well, I think the new crochet flowers in our online store could be just the trick!  Purchase yours HERE

DIY - How to use doilies on kids clothes!

It's no surprise that I'm a huge fan of shabby chic childrens clothes.  I not only make my own creations for sale in my online shop (ie www.littleteetee.com) but I also happily sell the different elements so you can design your own!

Does anyone else remember those yummy life-saver lollies in the gorgeous shades of orange, pink, yellow & green?  I LOVED them (until I moved on to musk flavour instead).  Anyway, I have just received a shipment of fabric rose trim that immediately reminded me of these sweets!

Available in brilliant yellow, pink & orange,  and then some white & nude in case we want to stay conservative!

DIY -How to make Shabby-chic lace headbands

I'm having a bit of fun playing with my new laces & trims which are to be sold in the Little Tee Tee store.  I'm hoping my creations will help with a little inspiration on how to put stretch laces & fabric flowers to good use!

Team this white beaded stretch lace (available here) & these pretty flowers (available here) to make the above gorgeous headband.  I simply overlapped 3 of the white flowers & sewed them directly onto the lace headband. Easy!

I love this headband!  So simple, so shabby chic. Use a wide stretch elastic (this one available here), & sew in two pleats to make one section skinnier.  Add a singular rose (variety available here) as the focal point by carefully sewing around the base of the rose & then trimming off excess mesh.

Handy Headband Tutorial tips:

Measure the head of the person wearing the headband, where the headband is going to sit.

Cut the lace to the above measurement.

Sew at raw edge with right sides together. I use a zig-zag stitch & go back and forth at least 3 times.
