Knitted Winter Headband

Knitted Winter Headband:

Here is a just a step to step guide of how I created the headband in images.
Im not sure why but I always end up using things to knit with instead finding my knitting needles. I made a wide knitted line to start of with just for decoration, also so I know which way round to wear it. The pattern is Purl - 1, Knit - 2 (x 60), pretty simple but looks cute! Might knit a flower to go on the top.

Personalised Pillow

A personalised gift;

As usual my materials were sourced from Leeds Market. I didn't use a tutorial because a pillow is a pretty simple thing to make. I cut the fabric for the pillow and then cut a mount for the name in pink fabric, I then hemmed the edges. 
Once I had sewn the the length side of the pillow together, I turned the fabric the right way round and attached the name.
The letters are made from black felt, I pinned them onto the pink dotted fabric and hand stitched them which took a while.
 Finally I put the whole thing onto the pillow inner and sewed up each end, all together it looks like this;
