***Update: The Felt Flower Scarf Tutorial is now available!!***
You know what fits in your last little bit of pregnancy? NOTHING!
Don't get me wrong, I'll squeeze my swollen sausage-y self into those maternity pants if I have to, but I'm not going to like it, and I'm not going to be comfortable. Good thing those sweet babies are worth every single second of it all!
So what's a girl to do to feel like she's still making an effort at "getting ready?" Is there a magical pair of earrings you throw on? Or does slapping some lip gloss on do it for you? I try to avoid making direct eye contact with my puffy limbs and face for the last few months of pregnancy, (I swell people... in the Michelin kind of way) so I figured I'd try making a scarf to take the focus off my "swell." :)
Thus, the felt flower scarf!
I bought 3/4 yard of felt at Joann's for 50% off. It was more than double of what I ended up using, so I figure this scarf cost me a little less than $1.50. Plus! Yep, there's more. (I know, I really should have focused my career on info-mercials.) I can still wear it after the baby comes! Love me an inexpensive accessory!
So, go get some felt and make yourself a fun scarf! I plan to do at least one more... of every color available. It's good to be rational about your crafting and accessory needs. :)
I love it! I swelled to enormous proportions when I was pregnant and well, I can sympathize with you, but I'm sure as you step out with this gorgeous scarf on you look stunning! t.xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is absolutely beautiful, I can't wait to see more! Also, I am new at this whole blogging thing too, I hope you have time to come check out my site.

Stunning! And a must do! Please share instructions if you can.
ReplyDeleteThis scarf is gorgeous - what a great accessory!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I love how it is simple, yet adds so much texture. I swell, too, when pregnant. As in, when I take my socks off in the evenings it still looks like I have socks on because the pattern is grafted into my skin. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to link up to Find Your Craft Friday!!!

You could definitely use different fabric for this. I think a cozy knit would be very fun too!

This is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could have had a scarf to help detract form my end of pregnancy bloat. It was 100+ out. I felt accomplished when I put more that a tank top and shorts on!
