Clearing out my workbox, day 1

I got totally absorbed in my WIP challenge yesterday and ended up with a big pile of finished bits and pieces... wonderful feeling!

Lots of flower brooches and hair combs made from recycled felt (leftovers from a big batch I made last year), plus some battenburg brooches:
Lots and lots of "butterfly flowers" - I cut out the pieces for these a while ago, and stitched them together yesterday:
And I finally finished some of those necklaces! I need to buy more ribbon before I can finish the rest but I'll be gradually be adding them all (along with the eco flowers and battenburg brooches) over in my Etsy shop this week.




UPDATE: My large felt flower design is now available as a sewing pattern! (The pattern for the other flower brooches, and the flower necklaces, is coming soon too!) Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns:
