These cute casual brooches are made from a combination of toning fabrics layered up and topped with vintage buttons. The fabric is die-cut into flower shapes so it’s a great way of using offcuts from handbags. The edges are left unfinished so most fabrics will fray a little with time for a trendier look. They are so easy to wear on a lapel, a jumper, or a hat. I even have a friend who pins one on the hip of her jeans!

In this brooch, we’ve got contrasting fabrics in toning colours. Two larger flowers underneath are made from deep aubergine cord and lightweight satin in a lighter purple with a swirling print in silver-grey, royal blue and wine. Then we have two smaller cord flowers with a satin flower sandwiched between, and a grey swirly button holding the whole thing together.
