This wonderful fussy cut fabric brooch tutorial from Banjoflannel lets you wear and show off your absolute favorite fabric prints wherever you go! If you have pretty patterned scraps that are just too cute to toss, turning them into miniature wearable art pieces is the ultimate scrap-busting solution.
The project highlights the art of fussy cutting – carefully isolating and framing a specific little illustration, floral motif, or character from your fabric rather than cutting random shapes. From there, the step-by-step photo guide walks you through giving the brooch a neat, durable finish and adding delicate hand embroidery stitches to highlight details and bring the scene to life. Finished with a secure pin back, these charming little badges look adorable pinned to jackets, tote bags, sweaters, or hats, and they make delightful handmade gifts for fellow makers. Grab your favorite fabric stash, hunt down some charming motifs, and stitch up this fun DIY fabric brooch today!
