The first prototype

It seems like I've been playing around with bits of pieces of crochet tablecloth and doileys forever, but I think I've finally settled on a new brooch - Vintage tablecloth teamed with a simple Vintage Button.

It seems a bit too much like 'understated elegance' for me.

  1. This is very pretty, and yes, elegant. You could always add another button either behind or on top of the one that is there for a burst of colour. Nice!

  2. the neutral colours would go with anything, so works really well :) that fabric it is on is really nice :D and the 2 photograph well together

  3. That is really cute. It would also look really nice in a classic black and white combo.

  4. I really like it, you can still really see the essence of the crochet but in a new way. Are you going to use some of the ones you dyed? Like you I'm a bit of a colour on colour person. More is more :)But really elegant this restrained look.

  5. It's lovely but yes, a little too 'understatedly elegant' for my wardrobe.

  7. Yes, it's beautiful, and beautifully simple. Lots of potential for different looks just with the change of a button too.

    PS I'm really besotted with my flower brooch. I can't believe the level of detail. The different-coloured stitching, the dyeing, the shaping and stiffening, really sturdy professional finish. I think you should be charging far more Cam. Other people charge the same for covering a button!

  8. That K.I.S.S acronym was invented for a reason. It's absolutely lovely.

  11. I love it, but I'd be tempted to add a baby blue or pink pearlised button to the top of the big button. It would be the perfect mix of shabby chic and understated elegance ;-)

  12. I love it too. Could go either way on this one. Maybe another layer? Yet it is great just like it is. Depends what you wear it with I guess.

  15. YAY... it's so beautiful and simple... I think it's perfect. What did you use to pack it with? I found a pattern for a table cloth dress in a mag I bought and am extremely excited as I have the perfect table cloth which belonged to my Grandmother. I don't know when I will make it but I added to my list of things to make... hehe.

  20. Classic. For me, a square button.

    Remonds me to get on with my white-on-white button evening bag.
