a little gift
one of my friends had a birthday this week. she’s a crafty chick, who likes apples and red. for christmas i used the minny muu “wee apples” fabric…
…to make her a little bag, and as i had a bit left i thought i would use it to make her a brooch for her birthday.
i was inspired by this tutorial by allison of cluck, cluck, sew, and it was super easy. want to see? here it is:

*thanks to pieces for taking this photo for me, since i forgot to do it myself before wrapping it up and giving it away!
i particularly like the way the edges of the fabric are left ‘raw’ so that they will fray a little with use and get a shabby look.
so, next time you have some fabric that is just right for a certain friend and you’re not sure how to use it, i can highly recommend that tutorial as an easy and fun solution!
love,
