Scrappy Flower Brooches

It's Scrap Buster Month at Sew Mama Sew and I could not wait to try making some scrappy flowers like Jenny from All Sorts.

Here are mine;


All made in one day, with silver brooch pins sewn at the back.

This would be a great little project for someone without a sewing machine, as all it requires is cutting some fabric and hand sewing the button/brooch on.

And it feels good to put all my small offcuts to use!

Made in one day - you must be lightening quick lady! That would take me weeks to do, but then again I am queen of the procrastinators (I'll just have a cuppa first then I'll do it!).

Hi Melinda....Yes, I cut them out during nap time and stitched the buttons and pins on that night. But I'm not always so efficient, believe me!

Hmm, not sure why this isn't working. Try clicking on the word 'Jenny' at the top of this post and follow the link.
