DIY Lululemon Vinyasa Scarf

I've recently tried Bikram Yoga and I'm still on the fence if it's something I can become committed to. After getting your sweat on, and leaving the place, I really want to throw on something loose and comfy. Lululemon has a great and versatile scarf called the Vinyasa scarf. There are so many ways of wearing it and I immediately fell in love with it... but not $50 in love with it. It's literally a big rectangle of fabric with some snap buttons on it. I thought, "I can make that!". There was only one site I found that provided a DIY tutorial.

If you want to find out how to make one, check it out here on this link:

I made mine out of bamboo fabric. I touched a lot of jersey fabrics which were cheaper (about $6 a yard) but I kept coming back to the bamboo fabric because it felt nicer and is a very breathable fabric. The fabric cost $15 a yard and all I needed, according to the tutorial, was 1.5 yards. I bought some snap buttons that cost me about $2. Sewing this scarf was the easy part. Hammering the snaps (and sometimes my fingers) was the hardest part. After an hour or so and $23... TADA!!

Wedding Jewellery

Yesterday was my friend's wedding and earlier this year I had agreed to create the jewellery she would gift to her bridesmaids and maid of honor as a surprise. This is why this posting is going up late. I didn't want to ruin the surprise.

A simple and delicate necklace

 The color of the wedding was a deep red which is why I went with a variation of reds in the jewellery.

And earrings to match

graduation cards!

I am so behind in my blogging!! I made this graduation card back in June for my sister and sister in law. It was fairly easy to make.  Check it out! 

The inside of the card I created by cutting out the graduation caps from a grad scrap booking paper I found at Michaels.
