See It, Want It, DIY It: Banjo and Matilda’s Love Crew – A Valentines Day Special
I find that true creative genius strikes when you are up a certain creek without a paddle. Like today, I come home from work to realise it’s Valentines Day tomorrow & lo & behold I have nothing to wear.
That’s when Banjo & Matilda’s gorgeous cashmere jumper popped into my head. No, my version is not Banjo & Matilda & it’s not cashmere but its super cute, cost next to nothing & is the perfect last-minute Valentines Day outfit.
What you’ll need:
- A jumper
- Scrap fabric {preferably in red or pink.. workin’ with the love theme here}
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Paper
- Pins
- Double sided fabric tape, or needle & thread {depending on just how permanent you want your heart to be}
How it works:
1) Lay your jumper flat. Sketch your heart onto the paper laid on top of your jumper.
2) Cut out your heart & pin it to your scrap fabric. Cut it out again.
3) Use double-sided fabric tape to stick your heart onto your jumper. If you want your heart to last more than the night, feel free to either hand sew it in place, or use a machine if you are that way inclined.
Voila, now to sit & wish for my very own Banjo & Matilda jumper.
Friday’s Favourites
Well seeing as it is St Valentines Day next week, I thought I’d inject a little more pink than usual into Friday’s outfit.
While head-to-toe pink isn’t a look I love, this blazer dresses up an otherwise casual white dress & neutral flats.
