Dear and Delicate Headband - Winter 2013

 

Dear and Delicate Headband

Blush Pink Bride ?

Some 'mother of the bride' options....

I have spent the last couple of days making some 'mother of the bride' options which are so easy to wear, built around a headband, they are soft and mostly made from silk organza with matching bows - above 'Silver Silk Headband' and 'Red Fluted Silk Organza' they add just the right amount of glamor to the wedding party !

Hand Covered headband

The base for many a fine headband, I use silk with beaded tulle overlay to achieve this 'lush' look, above is the finished design.

You only get to see a small amount of detail however the whole shape and look would be very different on a flat band.

This is the latest in customers own fabric, below.

Often the beading has to be re attached as below.

I tie off the ends of the beading to make sure that they do not shift
or drop off while being worn, as below.

An earlier post you will remember this is how I hand cover
the flatter metal bands in petersham.

How to make Silk Wide Headband

Working with some beautiful silk this week and the results almost justify the price paid per metre (!) for this lovely weight silk fabric, an absolute pleasure to work with and I love the soft colour. I handmade the bias binding that they are made out of first up in one sitting - only 24 mtrs ! then all were hand sewn over a couple of days - only 50 ! very glad to see the end of these bands but very happy with the results.
