Tutorial - Glorious Veg Brooch

I love gardening, almost as much as I love craft. and I especially love combining the two.


whilst most of the garden is still sleeping, the greenhouse is starting to show the first murmurings of life.

Behold the glory of nature!

I know they don't look like much yet, but soon they will produce a fantastic crop of broad beans, sweet peas and potatoes!


In honour of the veg that has yet to be, I have made these cute little brooches. Sport them on a tweed jacket or trilby for that straight off the allotment chic.

Here is how I made the carrot;

    1                              2                                 3                                     4                                   5

1. Cut out the shapes in the desired colour of felt.
2. Sandwich the leaves between the two layers.
3.  Sew all the way around the carrot.
4. Add some short rows of stitched to add detailing to the shape.
5. Sew a brooch back onto the reverse of the carrot.

Have fun making any fruit or vegetable you can think of. Whats your favorite veg? How about making some apple slice hair clips, or a potato tie clip!?
