Sew Sweet: Button bounty

Today we spent the day making hair accessories that have become a popular addition to our weekly market stall. They consist of fabric-covered buttons and like our softies, are made from fabrics rescued from the manufacturing process. We love the colour combinations when we mix them up altogether...they look like colourful sweets!

Initially, we tested the market waters with our hair ties...and we realised girls (of all ages!) really like to wear "bobbles" in their hair, harking back to the days when we were little kids in pigtails! Thanks to the great response, we have only recently branched out into making hair clips and these are also a hit, almost outselling the hair ties! There are lots of fabrics to choose from and some people have a hard time deciding which ones they want...

In fact, we have been so busy making the hair accessories for the market...that we haven't even had a chance to make any for ourselves! Tiff was even picking her favourites today as we made them...until we came to the conclusion that we each need a set of all of them! I think we have our work cut out for us for some time yet...N
