Cute as a button

It's been a while since I've created any kimono brooches, but recently I felt inspired to create this set of cuties. Each of my brooch sets comes in a trio, using vintage Japanese kimono fabrics in complimentary colours. For this threesome I chose a colour palette of purple, red and pink and it incorporates leaves and blossoms that are so iconic in Japanese design.

Each brooch has been made using a button mould which the vintage kimono fabric is attached to. I then hand sew a felt backing to each button brooch in a complimentary colour, and then a pin is hand sewn onto the felt backing.

These brooches look great attached to the lapel of a jacket or as decoration on a handbag.

Cute as a button

I've been busy over the last few months, creating a new product for my store and here's the finished result - cute little button brooches! Each one is covered in a pretty vintage kimono fabric, using complimentary colours. I love this summery mint green, coral and red colour palette, which comes from a pretty child's kimono that I have in my collection.

Each set contains three buttons and the backing is made from felt that has been hand sewn onto the button in a complimentary colour to the front fabric. I have then hand sewn on a brooch pin.

I'm selling these buttons in packs of three which means they can be placed together on the lapel of a jacket or used to decorate a bag or scarf. I will be adding more buttons to my store soon!
