Crocheted Mermaid Set

I was given the task to create and cute little mermaid set for a new born girl who just arrived about a week ago. I took on this challenge. I was given a set of colors and chose these to be as close as I could get.  

First, I started making the bottom with the tail. Basically used simple crochet stitches to achieve this. I use double crochet, half double crochet, and single crochet. Not good on the terminology but tried my best. I just go with the flow. 

Next I started making the fin and then sewed it on. 

I then started on the top. The first one I made was too big so I had to make a new one. I came up with this one. 

Then I started on the flowers for the headpiece and the crown. I went through my bead stash looking for pearls but I misplaced them (found them after I already started beading). I found these cute white flowers and pink w/silver beads. I loved them and had to use them. 

Started making the head piece and the crown. I couldn't remember how to make the crown so I used a little bit of help from Youtube. I used a tutorial from Bobwilson123. Click here for her tutorial. I did make it my own and changed it up a bit to fit my needs.

Once everything was crocheted and done I attached the beads and flowers with clear fishing thread. This way its hidden and won't make things bulky.

To finish it off I was asked if I could attach the little girls name on it.  I tried and it came out great.

UPCYCLED SKIRT

Here is a project that I had some fun with. It came to me last minute as I was making some alterations for a friend. She had asked me to cut and hem a jersey shirt because the bottom was too tight. She also asked me to make some curtains shorter because they were too long as she was afraid that her granddaughter would pull them down. 

I made a child skirt out of the bottom of the jersey shirt and curtains!!!!!

I cut the bottom of the jersey to make it shorter. I took out the hem and made the elastic shorter to fit a toddler. I took one panel of the curtain and took out the linings on the fabric. I then sewed some lining onto the shiny fabric. Then I attached the fabric with the lining to the jersey material. That took me some time to figure it out hehe. Then I took some more fabric and made a cute rolled Rose. I attached the rose with a cute button to the skirt.

Viola a cute upcycled skirt for a little princess. I love it. I may have to make myself one!!!!
