Wool Birthday Crown Finish
How in the world did October get away, and we're a week out from Thanksgiving? Even so, I need to make this brief. The birthday crown was finished on time, and the girl wore it! Mission accomplished. It was on and off as I assumed it would be, but has turned into a wonderful dress-up accessory. She has some experience with touching wool, seeing the flowers and embroidery up close, and just maybe remembering a bit of that sweet day she turned 1.
The backing is a simple Tilda print I had in my stash, and the band is actually a piece of foldable elastic like one uses to create hair ties. The elastic allows the crown to self-adjust, and no messy, loose ribbons to tie.
One thing I did not plan for was a removable number to replace each year. Next year's crown will have the ability to grow with her. Very fun project!
Come on, Doxie girls.
Let's go sew.
