WOYWW

 

Another week - another WOYWWednesday!

These weeks fly by don't they.

I was clearing out a few bits and bobs and came across some big pins.

I had intended making some little fabric brooches ages ago but never got round to it.

So, this week I decided I would make some little brooch/ bag tags/flags to raise funds for the folks who are suffering in the Ukraine War.

I found, amongst my many old pairs of denims, a dark navy pair - perfect for the backing on my little flags. The tiny Ukraine flags are made from a scrap of check fabric from my local footie flags.

The national flower of Ukraine - sunflowers - are needle felted and then the petals are hand stitched around each flower head. I left raw edges for effect and just stitched around to secure the backing with a bright yellow thread. Lastly, I stitched them onto the kilt pin. they are about 7cm x 8 cm.

I thought it looked good hanging on my navy bag....

AND...

If anyone wants one. Just let me know. Then, make a donation to any of the funds for Ukraine - Red Cross, DEC, Unicef  etc - tell me that you have done that and then I will pop one in the post for you.

First come first served. 

Update:   ALL 5 GONE TO OUR LOVELY WOYWWers - THANKS LOTS.

NB

I do have plenty of denim but no more giant pins - but I do have brooch backs. 

So if you just want a little brooch let me know - I could always run up a few more, if demand was high 😀

I guess every penny counts when things are so desperate out there.

We are so lucky to have peace and glorious Spring weather here.

I am counting my blessings.
