The first finished almofada (pillow.) Trying to sew with wobbly tables, using books and wood to measure crooked fabric and very rudimentary sewing supplies makes an already frustrating craft a super challenge. This first model needs a little tinkering- a less chunky bird, more defined beak, and longer stick to perch on, but for the first time around its not half bad.
Experimenting with headbands. Don´t have a picture of the original headbands, but here´s the first model of the new style. We´ve removed the fabric beneath the renda that the orignial headbands had, made them a bit wider and replaced plain, white elastic with this colored elastic we found in the centro (it´s actually elastic used for bra straps,) but it works. We´re going to make the renda part a bit shorter so it´s easier to take on and off.
