This seamless trim technique is a method I’ve been using for years to add custom trim to my costumes without any top-stitching at all. Similar in a way to bias tape, but with many key differences in implementation and results. No one taught me this technique, but now I’m teaching it to you! Please read through all the instructions below before asking any further questions, and happy trim-making! C:

Reusable Tea Bags | Lillyella
A friend of mine did me a lovely favour and I wanted to give her a small gift to say thank you. She’s a big tea drinker and thought to get her some tea, but standing in the tea aisle I realised that tea is like wine - there are so many and even ones that seem to be common like Earl Grey vary in strength and flavour across brands! Yikes. So I decided i wanted to make her something that related to tea! These are just like the best things in the world. I think the part I like the most is the little beaded weight attached to the string, so clever. This way she can re-use them all she wants using her own loose tea!
Let All Things Simple teach you how to make scraps of felt & fun buttons into these adorable felt flower hair clips great for little ones, & for the record, I think we could pull this off too. You could also glue these onto headbands or fancy up your backpack. Also, check out my old felt flower post from waay back. That’s my version!
