Jackie O Inspired Pill Box Hat in Red



Angelique is modeling my newest Jackie O hat. It is made from a previously loved wool/angora sweater that I felted. It measures 22/23 inches. With this hat I sewed a sturdy interfacing so the hat keeps it's shape. The rosettes are made from recycled silky pajamas. For an added sparkle I sewed a vintage pin purchased from Paperhill.

This hat would make a great accessory to your Christmas party!

To clean & store the hat wipe down with a clean cotton cloth that has been rung out from a solution of vinegar & water. My Grandmother always used this method to clean & store her woolens.

If you have any questions please convo me.

The Buffy Neck Warmer in Purple



This adorable neck warmer was inspired by my childhood friend, Buffy hence the name. She asked if I could make this without a pattern and so I did. It measures 28-30 inches. I crocheted it with this fluffy, fuzzy yarn that will keep your neck warm without the itchy feel of wool. For a vintage look a added a rosette that I made from fabric that I had in my collection. And for a little sparkle a vintage earring I purchased from Paperhill.

If you have any questions please convo me.

My first sale & a custom order to boot!





Here is my first sale/custom order on Bingo Pajamas! This hat is made from a previously loved black wool sweater that I felted by washing in a hot water & then drying on very hot setting. The rosettes are handmade by me from a prom dress from 1983 and for added sparkle vintage aurora borelious crystal earrings I purchased from Paperhill.etsy.com. Angelique is the best model & I think the vintage looking sunglasses kinda brings you back to the 1940s or 1950s.

Thank you for stopping by & I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
