Fabric Flower Pins




I have been working on some fabric flowers - using the Japanese Kanzashi method as base.


These ones are being made into fabric pins to adorn some bags I have made from Vintage Embroidery pieces.
In the top flower, I used a button in the centre, and in the bottom flower I used a rosette of frayed fabric.  I am so enjoying making these and am hoping to make many more!



Hopefully I will show you the completed bags next week!

That is so very interesting. Your work is really cross-cultural, and so informative! The flowers look very sturdy and well-made. Hats off to you!

I like the colours, and the frayed rosette adds great texture!

I learned how to make basic kanzashi some time ago and I think I will have to back to make some more, they are so lovely!
