New Heart Felt Brooches!

It's been quite a while since I've made any of my "Heart Felt Brooches".

They're sweet little stuffed heart shaped pins made from felted, or fulled, repurposed wool sweaters.

I'd saved some pink, rose, mauve and burgundy felted sweater wool to use for this batch of brooches. I cut two sizes of hearts and mixed and matched the coordinating colors. I then choose some embroidery thread colors to complement the wool.

First I used a blanket stitch to add a small contrasting heart shape to each brooch front. Then I embroidered a few tiny flowers, stitches and knots to embellish each heart.

To finish, I added another large heart to the back, blanket stitched around the outer edge and added just enough stuffing to make them into tiny little heart shaped pillows. Each has a levered pinback for secure placement on a sweater or jacket.
These brooches make great little Valentine's gifts and are now all for sale in my Etsy shop!

Be My Valentine!

Here are a few Valentine gift ideas from Felt Sew Good. . .

"Heartfelt" zip pouch made from recycled, felted sweater wool. Fully lined in a pink floral patterned coton fabric.


And of course, flowers for your Valentine! These everlasting varieties are also made from felted, recycled wool sweaters.

Hearts for Your Valentine!

I've been working on some new Valentine and heart themed goodies for my Etsy shop. As I've mentioned before, hearts are one of my favorites shapes to work with and I've come up with a few new ways to incorporate them in my felted wool projects.

I'll have a shop update on Monday, January 25th with new Heart Felt brooches in Valentine colors and some other new Heart Felt items.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to All!

Have a great weekend.

Work in Progress

As you can see, I've been making more Heart Felt brooches and felted wool flower brooches.

I set up my own little assembly line on the kitchen table!

If you are looking for a sweet Valentine gift, you can see the finished product and make a purchase through my Etsy shop, Felt Sew Good.

Heart Felt Valentine

These cute, stuffed, "Heart Felt" brooches were made from felted, recycled wool sweater pieces. Each heart is two layers of felted wool and "puffed" with a little stuffing. I added a small appliqued heart, a vintage button and embroidery to each one. They are available in my Etsy shop, FeltSewGood. Get one for yourself or someone you love!
