HOW-TO : FABRIC FLOWER BROOCH
Gosh, what a blogging marathon I seem to be having today! But I just made this as a little extra xmas pressie for a special friend (I am not saying who, that would ruin the surprise!), and I thought I'd share how easy they are to make.

Step 1
Sew basting stitches all around the edge of the circle, and pull tight. Flatten. Repeat for the 2nd circle.
Step 2
Place the smaller circle on top of the larger one and secure in place with a few stitches.
Step 3
Fold some ribbon to look like leaves, and stitch it to the back of the brooch.
Step 4
Stitch a button in the middle at the front and add a safety pin to the back.

Pretty easy, huh? A perfect "in front of the telly" project.

A fabby stashbuster too, if you (like me) have an abundant pile of fabric scraps - although for this one I actually dived in and cut into my Garden Party FQs that up until now I have pretty much just been stroking and drooling over before carefully folding them back up and putting them back in the cupboard
