Back in March 2009 we featured a pattern for Felt Contour Clip Barrettes. I personally love these barrettes and have had some since the 70s… true story! Anyway, I was delighted that the winner of our Birthday Give-Away picked these, because it not only gave me a chance to make some, but to create a few more designs.
So, here is our latest addition to the Contour Barrettes. I have gone back and made a few tweaks to the original directions so if you’ve made these in the past, you might want to revisit the site. I am including the pattern for our Additional Contour Clip Barrettes HERE, but refer to the original directions for the Contour Clip Barrettes found HERE, for the basics and pictures.
Just a couple notes about these barrettes. All the appliques are done before the fronts and backs are sewn together. When appliqueing remember you will need to blanket stitch the front to the back, so keep the applique stitching away from the edges. Refer to the pattern and pictures below for additional directions and clarification. Enjoy!
Aww, these are so pretty! I really love the leaves! Thanks so much, I’ll be linking.

The color combos are so cute, as are the designs. I think they are all sweet, but the heart is so girly! 🙂
