I'm doing lots of nice simple sewing projects at the moment, to keep myself entertained while I sit and rest and try to properly recover from my bout of flu.
One of the projects I've been working on is choosing
vintage buttons for lots of new
eco flowers...
These flowers have been my lazy late-night project for weeks, sitting in front of a film and cutting out petals or sewing them together, and as you can see I've gradually built up quite a collection! It's lovely finally choosing buttons for them.
Like my other eco flowers, these are all made from the
Kunin ecospun felt I bought earlier this year, which is made from recycled plastic bottles.
The next task will be to turn the large flowers into
brooches and the smaller ones into pretty
hair combs.
UPDATE: This felt flower design is now available as a sewing pattern! Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns:
... lots and lots of flowers! I'm really pleased about being able to offer an eco-friendly product (the felt is made from recycled plastic bottles) and the colours are very yummy, which I think makes for some very yummy flowers :)
The larger flowers are 12 cms / 4 and a half inches across and will become big statement brooches, and the smaller ones will be fascinators thanks to a pack of little plastic combs I bought last week.
