So, Yvette, here are the Rolled Fabric Rose brooches/headband roses I made on Sunday! Pretty cool hey?! I googled instructions (after trawling around etsy for a while and almost buying a pattern on there I realised I should just google and someone would have posted one for free. And
I was right!) I used the Tattered Roses Tutorial from Everyday Chaos. It was super fun to sit down with lots of my fabrics and the hot glue gun and get to work! I made some tiny roses to make an interchangeable headband for Peabody if it's a girl (they are the 7 tiny ones at top left of this pic), and then I made a whole bunch of larger roses for brooches. Then Sunday night I sat and watched TV and cut out leaves from felt and stitched on leaf veins. Tuesday I bought brooch backs and assembled them and voila! Another Maternity Leave project finished! I should really have "holidayed at home" more often, whenever I had a specific project in mind actually, cos I have found these last 2.5 weeks at home very productive!I have to thank Mum for teaching me to be crafty, cos without craftiness I would have been very bored these last 2 weeks! As it is, I have had an absolute ball! And hope that I can still squeeze in some craftiness between Peabody's feeds and sleeps too!
