A brooch for Miss Ruby
Here’s a crazy-bright yoyo brooch I made for our four-year-old neighbour, Ruby. It’s cobbled together from remnant fabric, a covered button and a felt flower, plus I’ve also sewn a safety pin to the back. The idea’s to inject a colour shock to liven up a plain tee or jacket.
The oilcloth and Union Jack pincushion are both from fave UK designer, Cath Kidston. Love love.
Cute and loved. Perfect for spring.
