Easy As Pi

Happy Pi Day!  As a giant nerd, I have several t-shirts celebrating my favorite transcendental number.  I purchased this one recently.  While digging through the stash recently for something else, I came across fabric from the cherry dress, and thought it would make a nice hair accessory.  It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but it's still cute.

I cut a long strip from the cherry fabric and then folded it over.  I pleated it and then gathered it into a circle.  I hand-sewed it onto the barrette, and then sewed on the cherry buttons.  I had purchased them for the cherry dress and then changed my mind.  The barrettes I already had in the notions stash.

So the total cost of the project was nothing, as everything came from the stash.  It took under an hour.  I'll probably make more of these out of other scraps in the stash.  It's nice to have a perfectly matching hair accessory.
