BEGINNER SERIES: DIY Hair Scarf or Neck Tie using Scrap Fabric

Hello hello!

I thought it would be fun to do a super simple DIY that could be classified as "Beginner Series": getting you into the joy of sewing and creating!!

I found a scrap of this yellow fabric in my refashion box (from this floral wrap skirt I made a long time ago!!) and the print brightened my day! The power of yellow! I thought it would be so pretty as a hair scarf or neck scarf so I quickly turned it unto just that. This literally took like 15 min to make! That includes taking the video as well ;)

If you are nervous to start sewing or just need a quick DIY to make you feel accomplished today, this is for you.

Please please 'Like & Subscribe' there on my YouTube channel if you are enjoying my videos!! It takes a while to make a video (as anyone that edits, knows..) and would love your support there!!! I want to continue to provide videos as an easier way to explaining tutorials and DIYs.

Anyways, on to the pictures of 4 different ways to style a hair scarf / neck scarf if you made one or already have one!

1. BOHO CHIC - Pin back from of your hair from the lesser parted side;
wrap scarf around your head and tie behind your head, on top of your hair (not on the underside)
(I love this look with a swimsuit!!)

2. The simple pony. I wrapped the scarf around the pony before tying it, for a more secure fit.

3. Simple pony + HAT! This makes such an impact!! Bad hair day NEVER with this technique! :)

4. The neck scarf : I wrapped it around my neck first than tied it in the front but depeneding on the length of your scarf, you can just tie right away! Floral looks great with a stripe!

Thank you so much for reading and following along!! Please comment if you have any questions or if you tried this! Would love to see how you styled your scarf: tag me on IG @byviktoria!

DIY Thrifted Eyelet Skirt into Flowy White Dress Tutorial

Hello all! and hello to sunshine, flowers and all your spring dresses!!

I had this thrifted eyelet skirt in my remake pile for a long time before knowing what to do with it. Originally I wanted to just take it in, and have it lay on my natural waist instead of my hips for a more feminine look. I liked that it was long enough (midi length as a skirt) and had the perfect eyelet fabric that is timeless for spring and summer.

I don't remember how this came about but I was craving a new white dress ...

(Can you really ever have enough??) 

and also around the same time, I found some ruffle eyelet trim at Hobby Lobby that I considered making into a flutter sleeve top. It all clicked!.... The skirt was a size 8 and could **almost fit around my chest. It just needed some taking out at the seams, and resewing and therefore expanding it as much as it allowed (lucky for me, the space opposite of zipper had a lot more fabric to work with then usual and I didn't even have to touch the zipper!)

I was able to take it out enough for it to fit around my chest (and zip haha) and added the trim as "sleeves". Such a simple DIY!

You could do this with other prints/ skirts as long as you find trim that will match and look like it's from the same skirt. OR, if you have a very long skirt, you could cut off the bottom and make mini ruffle sleeves from those scraps so that the "sleeves" match perfectly.

Another option: ribbon! Simple and cute way to add a strap that you could even add a tie effect for more of a summer type of dress.

I am excited about all the possibilities!! 

I hope you like this video and please like, share, and comment! If you have any questions, I would love to help in any way that I can!!

Couldn't resist getting some photos with my little girl too :) 

Go thrifting- find that way to big on you but oh so pretty skirt that you can recreate into the perfect flowy spring/summer dress :)

This probably goes without saying, but how easy it would be to do this for your little girl?? Find a skirt in the woman's section ($3.50 in our goodwill) and remake into a dress for your little girl! 💋 

Hope you are inspired!! 💓💓💓

With Love,
