The Arwen braid Day two
I just couldn't accept spending that much time braiding and not getting any good pictures.
And since it's lovely weather today I took some more pictures. I hope that you aren't tired of the Arwen braid yet!
I added a fitting accessory today...
Arwen braid
Joining the #arwenbraidchallenge on Instagram.
Black hair, bad indoor lightning + sunset outside made me unable to get any good pictures... The idea was to finish it when there was Still daylight, but it took forever to braid.
I was correcting my shirt and well this happened.
You can't really ser the braid, but I liked the picture.

I also made a scrunchie!
I got this little piece of fabric (and a bigger piece) left. From korps.se
So obviously I needed a scrunchie!
New sleeping cap/nightcap!
I made this from an amazing silk fabric from korps.se
The prettiest side, that you can see here, is actually the inside of my cap, since it's the smoothest.
DIY - make your own nightcap/sleeping cap
You will need:
- A fabric of your choosing. Preferably some sort of smooth satin, such as silk satin or rayon satin.
- Thread
- Elastic or a draw string
- Safety pin
- Sewing machine
- Pencil
- Pattern or a string and needle
How to do it:
- Draw a circle.
- I put the fabric on a soft surface. I choose the couch, but a bed should be just fine. I took a ribbon and attached it with a needle in the middle.
- Then I measured 30 cm from the needle, to where I attached the pen with a knot.
- I held the needle down with one hand and used the other to draw the circle. (I actually got a bit of help from my boyfriend, to keep the fabric smooth, but you can do it by yourself.)
- Your circle doesn't have to be perfect.
- Zigzag all the way around the fabric.
- Fold the edge and sew running stiches all the way around.
- If like me, you have a fabric with a smoother side. You want the smooth side to be the inside of your cap, to protect your hair.
- To make it more comfortable, I put the "pocket" for the elastic on the outside of the cap.
- Fold the fabric again to make a "pocket" for the elastic and sew another running seam. I folded the fabric every few centimeters, to make wrinkles as I went, because it's a circle and you will end up with a longer piece of fabric on the edge. You can of course pin it before you sew it, but I prefer to just do things as I go. (Lazy Tatsu.)
- While you can place this "pocket" on the inside, I highly doubt that it will be comfortable. So once again I placed it on the outside.
- Leave a 2-4 cm opening.
- Attach your elastic or draw string to a safety pin and pull it through your pocket. You can measure the length before or after.
- Sew the ends of the elastic together.
- If you're unsure that the elastic is a good length for you. Leave the opening. If not, sew it close.
- If you want to decorate your cap, you can attach a bow to it.
And I am about to make more! I want thinner silk ones for the summer and another one in black rayon satin to match our other pillowcases.
