After a few weekends of sewing I have finally finished the butterfly brooch (from a kit by Jenny Adin Christie). As suspected the body was particularly tricky as it involved padding using soft string – which is a new technique to me – I found it very difficult to get a smooth, tapering shape. That said, I am really pleased with the result and can’t wait to wear it!
Sew, I have one final kit from Jenny – the heart brooch. But I am not sure if I will start this straight away, as I have just enrolled to do the RSN certificate and will be going in for my first session in a couple of weeks!
Really pleased with the results.
