Here are some more information for Flower Pattern Vintage:
Every year the fashions change, but the colours are always on the same cycles. Spring and summer calls for bright and fresh colours while autumn and winter normally cries out for browns and blacks and all darker tones.
With new fashions, certain accessories change that boom into new crazes. One of these new crazes is crochet patterns. Remember the first time around crochet patterns were just for coasters and teapot covers.
Forget the old school patterns for curtains, or table mats and even coasters. Fashion is all about imagination and being able to look good and set a trend. This way is cheap and easy, it allows simple patterns to be transformed into great looks
Ideas for a simple crochet pattern could be perfect as some detailing on a plain pair of jeans, to give an independent and imaginative look that no one else has. Using the colours in fashion, a crochet pattern could make a great, pretty handbag that you can change with the seasons. Why not finish off the outfit by crocheting a flower onto a jacket to give that final detail.
Patterns may come in different sizes and shapes, depending on what you want to use them for. Sometimes the crochet patterns will be in the form of animals or flags. For the more patriotic amongst us, colours can be matched with the yarn for the desired effect.
If you want crochet patterns there are so many out there, in magazines and online. There are thousands of designs available, but by using your own imagination you will come across great unique patterns that no one else has.
Look for free gifts with eBook purchases and links to patterns that could also be of interest to the novice or experienced crocheter.
It's not only women who can benefit from crochet patterns, in tough times there are many designs for children's clothes and designs for men as well. Why not individualize yourself by using a pattern for hats, gloves and scarves for the winter and light jackets in the summer? Men can use patterns for patches on jacket arms or starting a new trend on bike jackets and bowling shirts for example.
There are vintage patterns available for women in the form of scarves, capes and coats for independent fashion in the colder months.
Making a crochet pattern can be quite easy if you have basic knowledge of crocheting and the stitches that make different patterns. After that all that is needed to complete the item is the yarn and correct size hook for the design you want to portray.
To make your own crochet pattern it may be a good idea to draw it out on paper first. Once the layout is complete you can take the pattern to a local yarn shop for advice on the ideal yarn and perfect colours. Make sure you get the right weight of yarn as this will determine if the item is expandable or not.
If you are new to crochet, if is worth trying some already completed patterns before trying your own, to get a feel for the yarn thickness and weight, before moving onto more advanced designs and making patterns for yourself.
The most productive way to learn pattern techniques are through books and can be found on the internet at good prices and sometimes even free!
These sources show the designs and stitches involved and how to do it so anyone can catch on with a little practice.
There are still plenty of patterns to be found in charity shops and at shopping malls. Speciality shops normally have a good collection of designs. Try going into the shop and picking up a made piece to feel the weight and texture before purchasing the pattern. This will help you when you get home and start crocheting yourself.
Remember those coasters and table mats from earlier? Why not turn those into a fashion statement? These can be used for everyday wear and turned into all sorts of fashion items; just use your imagination! Why buy it from the shops when you can do it yourself without leaving your home, and for half the price at home?
Yes, I'm not pretending that using crochet patterns and learning a new hobby is quick and easy, but all your hard work will definitely pay off when you are complimented on your individual style. No one else will ever have the same look, even if they use the same pattern as each piece is totally unique. With a little imagination and able hands the opportunities for fashion are endless!
Crochet patterns and designs don't always have to be brand new, Vintage patterns have recently come back into fashion and can be used for any season using lighter yarn and colour for the summer and not forgetting darker and heavier yarns for the winter. That said who am I to say when and how you should wear your crocheted items?
Have fun with crochet and if you need help learning this skill go to http://www.SimpleWayToCrochet.com for an EBook on how it's done and receive 6 free vintage patterns when you purchase it.
How to Make a Bib Necklace
Fashion crafts are a popular topic at FaveCrafts.com. If you love fashion, you have probably noticed the recent popularity of the bib necklace. These chunky necklaces, which have a bib-like shape, are an eye-catching way to display an array of jewel, flowers and other embellishments. Bib necklaces are all the rage with designers right now, and we have seen quite a few craft bloggers come up with their own fashion craft tutorials. If you are a fan of DIY fashion or fashion crafts, try making your own with this bib necklace tutorial.
Materials:
- Black Felt
- 1 yard Black ribbon (1/2 inch wide)
- Paper and Pencil for pattern
- Sewing Machine or Needle
- Scissors
- Black Thread
- Hot Glue
- Embellishments- See ideas below
Instructions:
- Draw a bib pattern on a piece of paper. This bib shape can be as large or small as you want for your bib necklace. You will be attaching this shape to the ribbon, so don't worry about extending the sides up to fit around your neck. I would recommend a nice big shape to give you more creative freedom.
- Cut out your paper pattern. Double over your black felt and pin your pattern to the top of the felt. Cut out two bib shapes from the felt with the help of your pattern.
- Sew the two pieces of black felt together around the top and bottom edges, leaving the two, neck edges of the bib un-sewn.
- Cut your length of black ribbon in half. Place the cut edge of each ribbon inside the black felt about 1 inch. Stitch the neck edges closed, securing the ribbon in place.
- Now you are ready to embellish your black felt bib necklace. Find ideas below for how to embellish your DIY fashion bib necklace. For the best results, layer many different techniques and textures.
How to Embellish Your Bib Necklace
- Iron-On Threads- For a fun starting background on your bib necklace, try ironing on different threads or braids in a random pattern.
- Vintage Jewelry- Use hot glue, jewelry glue or hand sewing to attach vintage jewelry pieces for your bib necklace. You can also attach vintage pins or brooches with the normal pin back.
- Hot Fix Crystals-You can use a special hot-fix tool to affix Swarovski crystals to your necklace or you can use an iron-on method for many crystal products.
- Beads- Use big chunky beads to coordinate with your other embellishments.
- Crochet- Use crochet to make shapes or crochet flowers to embellish your bib necklace.
- Sequin Applique- Pick up some sequin appliques at a local craft store for your bib necklace. DIY fashion could not be easier. You can also make your own sequin shapes on fabric and hot glue to your bi necklace.
- Silk Rosettes- Go big and bold by gluing on large silk flowers. Intersperse with gold elements and pearls for a soft, feminine look.
- Buttons- Sew or glue buttons onto your black felt bib necklace. You can also make Dorset buttons with the help of a fabric.
- Felt Flowers- Roll up strips of felt and secure with a dot of glue to create cute little felt flowers. Make your own felt flowers with wool roving.
- Fabric Flowers or Yo Yo's- Use fabric scraps to create your own fabric flowers or yo-yo's. You will need to do a gathering stitch for either embellishment. Heart-shaped yo yo's would also be a fun embellishment.

What shirt should I wear with this skirt?
I got this skirt from Wet Seal (the black one with purple, pink, and orange flowers on it), but I'm not sure what shirt I should wear with it. It goes kind of high on my waist and looks vintage-y. And I don't have any shirts that look good with it. Can anybody give me a link of a picture or give me some ideas? My style is vintage, classic, or boho, depending on what I wear. I don't really like Aeropostale or Hollister or any of those stores. Thanks!
Here's the skirt:

cute skirt! wear it over your shirt, high waisted, and you can even pair it with a simple white shirt or tank top. i always like to wear plain white v-necks with skirts like those, and dress it up with some big jewelry. a big black necklace (or any other color that you want accentuated from your skirt) would look really cute with the white top and the skirt. if you want to go for a more dressy look, maybe try a ruffled blouse (white or black), something a little more vintage-y, with maybe a gold necklace. hope i helped!
