My little girl had been talking about her kindergarten party all
week. She kept asking me which outfit to wear and what headgear to match her
outfit for the party. The kindergarten she is attending organized a headgear party
today before the end of the school year next week. This is my daughter’s last
year in the kindergarten and she will advance to primary school starting Jan
2013. I want her to enjoy her party and have been planning on making her a
headgear or a hat to wear on that day. However, many events took place since
end of last week, and I was not able to work on the headgear until this
morning.
After
sending my eldest daughter off to school at 6.15am, I started making this
gathered fabric flower hair clip with bird resting atop. My initial plan was
just to make a big flower hair clip. After completion of a flower hair clip, I
felt like adding something to make it more interesting. A little decorative
bird in the hallway flashed into mind. To enhance the concept, I picked up a
green leave from my basket of artificial flower and add it at the bottom of the
flower. Here it goes of my little creation completed in 2 hours. I would have
added a tiny twig if my little girl would use it.
My little
girl was not pleased with the bird resting atop the flower as she didn't want
to look too outstanding among her friends. I had to convince her that other
kids will come in fancier outfits and her headgear will just be cute and
creative. The persuasion continued for a while and it eventually ended
with bribery of a technical pencil, a stapler and an eraser!
At last,
she was convinced and happy, and so was I. She returned home happily after
school and told me about all the compliments she received from her teachers and
friends.
The tutorial page should be out in few days. You may find it on Yann's Simple Tutorial page.
