Fabric Yoyo Brooch
This pretty brooch is fun for kids to sew and - if you can bear to part
with it - it makes a lovely gift for mothers, grannies or friends! And of course
you can make all sorts of variations depending on what fabrics you have
available... why not make one to match every outfit!
You will need:
Three pieces of different patterned fabric.
Thread and needle.
Button
Safety pin/brooch back
Instructions:
Cut 3 paper circles about 4, 5 and 6 inches diameter. Pin each to one of the
pieces of fabric and cut out. Alternatively draw around cups and saucers onto
the fabric.
Cut a piece of thread long enough to go all of the way around the edge of
your biggest circle with some spare. Knot one end and thread the other.
Sew a loose running stitch around the outside of the largest circle,
finishing with the thread to the right side of the fabric.
Sew a loose but neat running stitch around the circumference of the circle
Pull the thread so the fabric gathers. Secure the gap with a few stitches. Knot the fabric and tie off.
Gathered, and finished off
Repeat with the smaller two circles.
When you have your three yo-yos, layer them up with a button over the top
hole. Stitch the button in place going through all three yoyos.
Finish off by stitching a safety pin or brooch pin to the back.
