The temperature reached 100 degrees last Saturday in KY, but it's only 57 degrees today. I'm wearing long sleeves in the house. It has been raining since Sunday as well. I'm worried about my garden and hummingbirds.
I'm going to introduce doily brooches and ruffle for the summer casual bolero today.
When I create something, I always think about a few uses on it. For instance, if I make a scarf, I want to use it as a necklace and belt too. I wanted to make the bolero simple so that I could change the bolero's impression with each doily brooch. That means I can wear the bolero with any colored clothes. :)
I made three doily brooches for the bolero.
I enjoyed this sunflower brooch during August.
The brooch is composed of a doily, crocheted sunflower and pineapple patterned leaf.
I used Autumn pink color for this brooch.
The brooch is composed of a doily, two large pom-poms and three stuffed crochet balls.
I used yarn for this brooch, because I wanted to make the brooch suitable for Autumn.
The brooch is composed of a doily, looped yarn, crocheted flower and a metal button.
I'm selling these same brooches and different designed brooches at my Etsy shop, NeIro. :)
To decorate around the edge of sleeves, I used mercerized cotton crochet thread. That means I can make fine stitches. Of course, you may work on the edge with same yarn as the bolero or you may sew different materials on the edge such as ribbon or lace. I worked on the edge with a ruffle pattern. The reason I like to use different materials in a project is that the project looks more detailed and fashionable. :)
How were the summer casual bolero lessons? You became interested in making yours?
I'm still thinking of what lesson I teach in my blog next time. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave your comment. :)
