new brooches

i have just added some new brooches in my madeit shop.

these little lovlies are made from an old pair of sass & bide jeans(far too gone to keep or sell), a vintage silk sari skirt and of course my nana's lovely collection of chopped up doilies & lace table cloths. they are pinned to my favorite paper (art canvas) with the blurb  "brooch" from the dictionary printed on & they come delivered to you in rescued pattern paper & lace making them a true re-cycled, up-cycled, re-purposed fabric addition to your wardrobe.

out they go

another little lot of wholesale doily brooches on their way to sunny qld. this lot i made with vintage silk sari's, recycled denim & of course dolies!

its a doily brooch loving kinda day

I must thank Bec from MadeIt who posted my brooches in this weeks MadeIt Shopping Guide

The last 2 days, my inbox has been flooded with sales and custom orders for these fab lil brooches & now hair clips. It's such a lovely feeling when people love what you make. So today and the next few sees me sitting excitedly at my janome stitching up a storm to get these orders out. I am also desperatley hoping that my mini moo cards are in my post box so that i can label these little beauties with their own tags.

a little note on the Holly Hobbie Puzzle - yep all the pieces were there!
