How about that 'newish' blouse or skirt which you can no longer wear but whose fabric you love?
You can turn these fabric pieces into a flower brooch for jazzing up that plain shirt, cloth tote or even your curtains!
There are many GREAT tutorials/videos out there on how to do this... here's one of my favourites...
It was these flowers that came to mind when I looked at the lovely small pieces of fabric in my stash..and here's the result:
Each flower measures about 8-9 cm across.
The flowers have been given a crocheted center and some even have beaded embellishments. (All of which are sewn on, not GLUED...of which I have a strange adversion to...)
The flower has been secured with a velvet/corduroy backing to which a brooch pin has been sewn on:
Different fabrics give different looks:
 |
| striped organza |
 |
| satin |
 |
| rich velvet |
 |
| (not sure what material this is...can anyone help? ) |
