I have made a little, hand embroidered brooch – My Red Frock – to wear this weekend at the Jessie Chorley workshop at Hope and Elvis .
The template for the brooch is a design from Jessie’s Collection and I’ve added my own twist. I love red thread and tea stained vintage linen cloth.
The finishing touch was adding the safety pin to the top.
Now it’s ready to pin onto my Stitchery Apron.
I have a large collection of pin brooches that have been created by many textile artists.
My collection includes pieces by – Hens Teeth, Mandy Pattullo, Jenny Barnett, Emily Notman, Vivienne Morpeth, Marna Lunt, Caren Garfen, Heather Everitt, Catherina Von Isenburg, Amanda Wright, Anya Keeley, Dionne Swift, Katie Essam, Gentlework, Ninneynoo, Janine Pope and Julie Arkell.
When I’m off to a Workshop, I’ll select one to wear on my apron.
