Tutorial - How to Make a Felt Elephant Brooch

Could also make a larger version for a toy

Tutorial at Sew Toy Blog

"Would you like to have more good luck in your life? Who wouldn’t! This was my thinking. When the babies are born, we send a greeting with a wish for good luck in their life. We wish good luck at birthdays, holidays when going somewhere or attempting something new and important. Thinking about that for a while naturally lead me to the worldwide excepted general symbol for good luck, the Elephant. The elephant is the symbol of power, strength, wisdom, and stability. Since my good friend, big elephant lover as I found out later, just had a birthday, I made a cute little elephant brooch for her, to pin on her clothes, bag, or anywhere else she will desire" Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Lace Brooch

Delicate lace pin to adds a special touch

Tutorial at Strawberry Butterscotch Blog

"As promised, I successfully created a video tutorial showing how to make these lovely lace brooches.  It was a bit of a challenge since I had never made a video tutorial before.  I also have made fairly few tutorials in general.  One of the biggest challenges, besides actually working with the camera, was choosing music.  My first and absolute favorite choice for music was a little too perfect and pristine for my simple video.  It sounded like something for some epic movie.  I might as well have used the 1812 Overture or something"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Fabric and Denim Flower

Use as a keychain, to decorate bags, etc.

Tutorial at CocoJude Blog

"A couple of birthdays ago, my friend gave me a lovely bag which has this tweedy flower charm on it. She always said she thought it was something I would make myself, and I have finally got round to it. It took a bit of poking around the work out the design, and I ended up doing something slightly different, as I found it was a bit bulky otherwise. My version is below – made from denim and cotton fabric, and accessorised with a button (of course!) The denim came from a favourite old pair of jeans which had ripped because they were so worn. I chopped off the legs, so may still use them for something else".... Read more

Brooch Tutorial at TamsynG Blog

"I have been making these little brooches for a few years and have been asked so many times how I make them that I thought I would show you how.  They start as a basic circle, then using surface crochet and lots of different yarns they build up into colourful  textured mini works of art.  Ready to embellish with beads and buttons.  I love things that whip up quickly and these are perfect for in between other projects when you just want to start something and finish it in one go.

Star Pin Tutorial at Maker*Land Blog

"I've  just about finished sewing Sophie's coat, and although I must say I am extremely pleased with how it's coming along, the dark grey fabric makes it look a little austere for an especially sparkly (and naughty!) toddler.  I decided to make a star-shaped pin to wear with it, but wasn't sure whether to sew or bead or find a star blank to paint.  Then, I remembered this crochet star tutorial.  After doing a few test stars and deciding they were just what I wanted (and dead easy!), I made this pin in about an hour (not including drying time after felting the star).  Here's how"....
