This is what I was going to share yesterday
My slightly rugged recycled denim corsage/brooch.
I don't really like to share the stuff I make, partly down to lack of confidence, partly cause I'm far too self critical and partly due to someone completely ripping off something I once made.
Anyway I'm really quite pleased with it, I've been playing with different sizes and layers, this one is quite big at around 10cm, I want to make some with some fat quarters JL treated me to at the weekend.
I've been meaning to make myself a pin cushion for a while but just not got round to it until yesterday
It's based on this tutorial from Whipup with a strap so I can wear it on my wrist. Maybe my super bright ironing board wasn't the best thing to photograph it on! It's not exactly perfect but not bad considering I did most of it with a poorly D#2 sat/sleeping on my knee, it will do for now. I made some shrink plastic pins at the weekend too, the tutorial courtesy of Wee Wonderfuls was linked from the pin cushion tutorial!
It was the most fun I've ever had staring into my oven waiting for the magic to happen!
