I am well and truly bitten by the embroidered button bug. I made a set of teeny weeny (well, 1cm) bee buttons with a plan to attach them to hair grips. Well, the first way I tried was deeply unsuccessful, then somewhere, from the depths of the tangled mess that is my brain I dragged up the memory of felt covered hair grips from Angry Chicken. And since I have a lovely stash of felt from paper-and-string, I was all set.
Here are some I've made for Michelle's gorgeous girlies as part compensation for the postage costs of sending me my swap buttons:
(Why didn't I photograph these while the sun was out? Doh!)
Mine are clamouring for some now too. I may go blind.
What adorable hair clips and such wonderful embroidery too. Beautifull!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely clips I must try that one. You have some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteHello Thimblina - Have fun with them - the embroidery is time consuming but the clips are really really fast!
ReplyDeleteThose hair clips are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOh DC! They are gorgeous!!!! I'm not surprised the smalls are badgering you for their own! Lucy x
ReplyDeleteOh wow - they are seriously impressive. Such teeny tiny stitches - no wonder your girls want some. If I were a tiddler, I'd want some too! x
ReplyDeleteHow bee-autiful they are! Sorry, can't resist a bad pun opportunity.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! They are VERY sweet and so neatly sewn (as usual ;) )
ReplyDeleteCrochet, knitting, cooking, sewing, hair clip-making, science-ing...is there anything you can't do?!?!
How cute. However did you manage to embroider something so teeny? I'm imagining a tiny embroidery hoop and some fairies...too many fariy stories in this house by far!
ReplyDeleteThey are very lovely!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!...and so beautifully made :O)
ReplyDeleteI love your little bees they are gorgeous. Jane x
ReplyDeleteVery cute... and very fiddly!
ReplyDeleteI jsut love them! How pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous DC and your stitching is beautiful! I should think your littlies will be keeping you busy with lots more of those :)
ReplyDeleteI'd definately need my glasses on for such tiny stitching!
xxxx
very tiny and very, very cute!
ReplyDeleteoh my these are soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteI used to wear clips all the time when I was little... I would have loved those!!!
exquisite little stitches
ReplyDeleteErrr... it would be alright for me to join the clamouring wouldn't it? I'll make regular contributions to the R.N.I.B. if it helps!
ReplyDeleteThey're great Val, such a lovely idea. My dodgy eyesight even with my glasses, couldn't cope at all. I'd be sewing with a magnifying glass in front of me!
ReplyDeleteKimx
Such a good idea and so beautifully embroidered.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of your tiny stitches, they're just lovely...
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! It's really fun to see how your work in progress turned out. I wish I had barrettes like that!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Looks very fiddly though!! I'm sure you'll be busy making more!!
ReplyDeleteToo, too cute...Looks like fun to make too! Just lovely...Happy week to you all ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, but surely not worth blindness. it would make it quite challenging to continue to be a source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh, Ms. Dotty, they are adorable!!! What a clever girl you are. And thanks for your lovely wedding wishes -- I've SO enjoyed reading them!
ReplyDeleteWOW!What stitching and patience! My DD would adore those hairclips but i fear i may lose my mind creating them and i'd have to live in fear that she'd lose one or trade it for a nit-infested one from a schoolfriend!
ReplyDeleteHey Val: I received one your hedgehog buttons in my button package. Just darling. You'll have to stop by my blog to see the photo of all my buttons received. -- Michele
