First Chloe Chic Bowtique Tutorial evah! "Feather pads"

Feather pads are SO popular right now, I love them so much, especially on headbands and with rhinestone embellishment. While i enjoy the convenience of buying premade feather pads, sometimes a specific color is out of stock or difficult to find, well if you can dream it, you can make it! I tried one out and lo and behold they are SO easy to make!

Sooooooo, I threw together a fast and *hopefully easy tutorial on how I made mine.
It isnt a professional tutorial by any means but I hope that you find it helpful! Happy crafting ladies! Send me your finished feather pad pics on the fan page at Chloe Chic Bowtique (<---- CLICK THERE!)

Ladies, this month's boutique spotlight is also featuring a giveaway! exciting huh?!
Everyone loves a giveaway! I would like to recommend you all to a Shop of a fellow CCB'er and seamstress. She is giving away a FREE outfit to the 1st place winner and other awesome prizes for runner up!

2nd: Check out her contest rules ( a few posts down her wall) and sign yourself up!


a few personal favorites of hers for me is the bubble ruffle romper and the vintage romper pattern, but honestly i cant decide! lol
isn't this just too cute!

I adore this!

And guess what?! She also sews BOY items!!!! I know how excited some of you are, because as a momma to a boy also I know how sparse the market is for boutique boy items, compared to girls. She also makes cloth diapers!

One thing that I love about working with Kristina is that she is a very visual person and works very hard to make sure that what she sees in HER mind is what you will get she has created templates to conceptualize outfits before they are made (And yes, she also orders her bows this way! I love it!)
 

Go check her out, she is just getting started on the FB vendor community, but has been a long time customer of CCB, so lets help her grow her at home small business and good luck in the giveaway!

Good Luck all and thanks for supporting small at-home businesses!
When possible, shop small business for all your Christmas/Holiday gifts and watch your recipient's eyes light up at having a unique and custom hand-made item given, truly something to cherish!
