Scrappy cuffs and epaulettes: Scraps 101

A cuff for me and a cuff for my sister.  The scrappy patchwork one is fastened with domes/snap fasteners, which are more practical because then it can be reversible.  I used scrap interfacing, leftover pieces of binding and some other scraps from my scrap bin as well as a charm from the lovely little pack I won from Sarah.

And I made some epaulettes for a was-I-shopping-with-my-eyes-closed shirt, hoping to turn it into an edgy casual shirt.  Epaulettes may not be the correct term but you get the idea.  I hope.  To be honest the epaulettes didn't really have the effect I was hoping for, but there you have it - a scrap project nonetheless.  I didn't even bother to match my thread.

The cuffs are projects 15 and 16 of Scraps 101; the epaulettes are project 17.

Bow Hairtie Remix: Scraps 101

Using my Bow Hairtie Tutorial but instead of tying the bow onto a hairtie, I knotted the bow onto a headband ...

and then made a brooch by knotting it on a safety pin. Headband is project 10 of Scraps 101; brooch is project 11.

Also, I made some similar hairties but instead of knotting them I gathered through the middle and sewed on a button.  Cute!  These two are projects 12 and 13 of Scraps 101.
