I am working on some brooches as my mum wants me to make one to wear at a wedding she is going to. I expect she thinks I have forgotten but I haven't (honest mum). This is made from some gorgeous paisley fabric I have just bought. There are two discs and each disc is backed with the other fabric, so in total I had to cut out 4 discs. In the middle is a vintage mother of pearl button topped by 3 seed beads.
The tulip one below has a Dorset Button in the middle (of course!). The hair snap popped into the photo as I had just finished it. It is made of purple ribbon and a metallic thread. It is pretty isn't it? 
The button in the middle of the other flower has been made using a different stitch than normal.

I may post a tutorial for the top brooch. Shall I?
Oooh, pretty brooches! I love the choice of fabric! And a tutorial gets my vote!
