Stamp It, Stitch It, Wear It ♥♥

Hello, thanks for coming over for a visit.....

I whipped up a little Hedgie brooch today and wanted to share him with you as I do love a  brooch or two or three or four or five or more!! 





I spied a set of fab little Woodland stamps over at Modes website and resistance was futile, so I just gave in and bought them......

Well, it was a Mother's Day gift to myself.......



♥♥♥♥






Stamp on some calico and add some some hand stitching here and there.
I'm sticking with the Bluebell theme ❀❀❀




I fused it onto some recycled blanketing and then added the
free motion embroidery.
 I felt it needed a bit more body, so fused it again to another piece of woollen fabric
Stitched around the border once more to add definition and texture then....


Added a brooch back and ........



Voila.......it's ready to wear.


Apologies for the lack of a good close up, my little camera, doesn't like taking them, hmmm!

A simple and fun little project. 
I plan to use a few more of these stamps and turn them into brooches.

Maybe I'll do a series of Woodland brooches.......


I'm joining in with lots of other crafty people over here.


Hope you are all having a crafty & creative week.


Now I must go and finish packing my case as my flight leaves in a couple of hours......

Lookout Queensland, there's a lady with a Hedgehog brooch on her cardi coming to visit, hehe.


Take Care,
