When I saw this linked up at Quilt Story a couple weeks ago, I knew I had to have one. The tutorial is at Flamingo Toes. She had a great theme week where she made necklaces inspired by those for sale at Anthropologie. This little number retails for about US$ 140. Including the cost of the silver chain, I made it for under $20. Not bad, eh? 
I used some kind of charcoal fabric...it shimmers a bit (I suck at fabric names beyond "quilting cotton", remember?) and paired it with some pretty little purple/pink beads to add a subtle splash of color. 
I love the little detail of the baby flower at the clasp. So pretty when you have your hair up.
Thanks, Bev, for a great tutorial!
Your necklace turned out great! I tried it as well. I think I will give it to someone as a gift. I love the look of them! Enjoyed reading your blog. stop by if you get the chance:
