On to making the Brooch.

Brooch Edging

 

I took a piece of black material approximately 3 inches Wide. It was quite long so I Folded behind and Hemmed it all the way around. I took my Copper Wire and made a Knot.

I Sewed through the Knot to secure the Wire. I then Sewed through the Copper Wire Links all around the Edge.

Brooch Timepiece

 

Amongst the items that my friend Laura of https://www.alyssa-rose.co.uk/ was a delightful little Button Timepiece. I Sewed this into the middle of the Cloth.

Brooch Cog 1

 

I started in the Bottom Right Corner and began to Sew some of the Copper Wire onto the Cloth towards the opposite Upper Corner.

I Sewed the 1^st Silver Cog into place then bent the Wire around it and secured it.

Brooch Cog 2

I continued Sewing the Copper Wire and placed a Bronze coloured Cog on the Material. I Sewed the Cog in place then manoeuvred the Wire around it and under the Button.

Back Brooch Pin

 

At this point I thought it would be a good idea to tidy up the Back of the Brooch. I used a Backstitch along the two Edges.

I Sewed the Flap and added a Safety Pin after I had finished adding the rest of the Cogs and Copper Wire.

Brooch Cog 3 & 4

 

Starting from the Upper Left Corner I added another Knotted Copper Wire. Using the same technique I added two more Cogs. 

Finished Brooch

 

I had found one more Cog hiding amongst my bits and pieces. I had Sewn the Copper Wire in place and slipped it into place and secured. I now had a Finished Brooch to add to my collection.
