accessory making

hello, everyone. i am samatha and i am really wanting to make accessories that match with these two outfits. .o1. .o2.
though the second one comes with this shirt

i love making things, so i would rather make a headdress or alice bow to go with them. i would like one that could be worn with both, and i would love tips on how to make them. i looked in the headdress thread but it confused me.
a tutorial in English would be helpful.
as well i want to make lace sleeves[not to be attached to a shirt], is it as easy as it sounds? do you have a tip?
anything would be appreciated, i am sorry if i posted in the wrong forum.

as well i looked threw a lot of stores, but i cannot find shoes that i think would look nice, what do you think would match with these?

new part

hello, everyone
i want to make a shirt. and bloomers.
what material would you suggest for bloomers?
i only have black cotton right now to make headdresses and maybe a skirt. i want to make one so bad

a tutorial on a skirt like this would be loved
or is it really as easy as it looks? if no i do not reply could you please pm me so i would get is right when i returned?
please and thank you.

to make an alice head bow all you really need is 2 rectangles of fabric with lace or whatever you want around the edg (make sure one is bigger then the other) a headband and a small peice of fabric to hold the 2 rectangles that make the bow part to the headband.

well at least that is how to make one in a nutshell
pm me if you dont understand and ill see if i can send patterns and better instructions if you want.

This thread in the stickies actually has instructions on how to make a lot of different hair accessories. The images are pretty self explanatory, but if you need help just ask.

You just missed her point. By a mile.
Obviously you need patterns if you wanna know how to make them.

You can pretty much make bloomers out of anything that is comfortable and you could deal with on your skin for long periods of time.

That skirt is actually very simple, especially if you know how to gather.
Basically you cut a rectangle that is about 20-21" wide and 3x your waist measurement long. hem one of the long edges, sew on some lace, and then gather the top so it is your waist measurement +1". To gather, you do a baste stitch with the tension on 0 or 1, then gently pull the bobbin thread (the bottom one) and the fabric will start to bunch up. It takes a long time, but its worth it. This method also works for making ruffles and such :3
I hope this helped. I am in the middle of writing a tutorial, but I never have the time to finish it D:
