Which way up?!

Here's what I made this morning - it took me around 3 hours.  I enjoyed making it but boy, simanay is hard on the hands - much tougher than tutu net!


From this....

To this...

To this!
 But which way up does it go?!

This way....

Or this way?!  (Sorry it's a no makeup day today)

Downward I think
I bought this kit at the NEC and added the black rhinestones and button just to "finish" it.  I think it will work well with the Linton Tweed and the fabric green print from Gorgeous Fabrics (when it finally gets here - I'm still waiting).

Fascinators aren't tricky to make and the materials aren't expensive - there are loads of suppliers on ebay.

Okay, so that's me done for today.  We have a beautiful sunny day so I'm going to sit int he garden witha cup of tea and plan what's next on the sewing hit list.  Enjoy the rest of your day!

Very nice! Fascinators seem to be all the rage at the moment. Your looks lovely. I like downwards best too.

Oh how cute! I never think to make stuff like that, but I suppose it could be because it doesn't fit into my SAHM lifestyle. I think it looks cute just about every way you styled it, but would depend on the look you are going for I think.

Oh my gosh, that is beautiful, you are so clever! That looks very tricky... I think I like it pointing down too.
Thank you for your comment, although I still am a firm believer that a pretty shade of toe nail polish will beautify ALL feet!
