Holly Leaf brooch
These fabulous Holly leaves and berries are made from fabric that was due to go to landfill.
They are made from soft upholstery fabric with a wool backing, all of which come from the swatch books that you would choose you high end sofas from. Sadly they would all be thrown away once they had gone out of season.
The leaves are decorated using free motion embroidery with a shiny fabric for the berries. There is a glass bead on the bottom of the berry.
As I only get very small quantities of each fabric it means every one I make is different and unique. Use the drop down menu to pick your favourite, see the photos for corresponding numbers.
There is an easy to open/close clasp on the back with a ribbon printed with my Website details.
This would be a great present for a friend or even for yourself.
Size is approximately 8cm x 7.5cm.
