Teaching others

Hello friends, I've been very slack with posts this month! I am on a teaching course this term, which started in September. The course is designed for people who have been working in industry for years, and want to teach their skill to others. I have always wanted to teach either on foundation or degree, or even adults in an adult education centre. I had to present a teaching session to my peers on the course, so I taught them blanket stitch. These are the sample brooches I made to inspire my students, I think I should stock up my etsy shop while I'm at it!

Brooches and sew it begins

Well my little bag full of vintage scraps and beads, which has been following me about all Christmas has finally come out this weekend and resulted in the beginings of my brooch making project! I made a butterfly for one of my friends at Chirstmas and this set of brooches are in the same style. I love using scraps of old lace and trims like this. Heres Ruby looking gorgeous modelling it for me!
