I made the little cloud (below) into a pin for my friend Susan last year, and I came upon this one, partly-finished, in a box of assorted projects; I finished it the way we are doing them for this swap: flat (rather than stuffed) and with a finished, felt back, but no pin or magnet or anything else.
These four (below) are the ones I was inspired to make this week. The carrot design came from a cookie I saw online. The cat came from a piece of fabric; I looked at the fabric while cutting the felt (without tracing of the design onto the felt)--and by the fourth try, I had a cat I liked! The cat badge is 2" square; the carrot is 2" x 1 3/4", and the birds are 1 1/4" square.
The bird and leaves were so small they were hard to hold onto while cutting and sewing them! I love how they came out.
Cats are a common theme with me, and so are hearts.
I want to have a huge collection of these! If anyone wants to swap one (or a few) with me, please send me an email!
When my collection is bigger, I plan to display them all together somehow. I will show that to you when it happens!
Ha ha!! I just recently did an almost identical blog post. We're both obsessed, Leslie! So fun :).
ReplyDeleteYour badges are absolutely adorable. I really like how you used pinking shears for the little badges. They kind of look like postage stamps. Ooo, I need to add postage stamps to my list of felt badges to make... and maybe a little envelope too!
I particularly love your blue felt bird on purple. Happy colours!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, now I regret that I didn't sign up for this swap! I'm in the read to me mommy and the dogs and cats swap, so I thought I should leave it to those two...
ReplyDeleteBut after seeing all those adorable badges Lime posted and now all the adorable badges you post, I feel I should have sign up :-(
Ah, well maybe a next time!
Un excellent bravo pour un excellent sujet et un excellent blog !!!
