At Young Embroiderers today we started out by creating needle felted fabric. Twelve girls stabbing away with felting needles and not a single felted finger... I was pretty impressed! When their fabric was made they then cut out little people shapes which they then embroidered and assembled into "Button Babes"... colourful little brooches for their lapels! As ever I was totally blown away by the results, which I'm sure you will agree are amazing.

The two above were made by Grace and her Granny
Moira (who is a very young and glamorous granny!) Grace made the one with red and yellow legs... and when I tell you she is only six and did virtually all of the felting and sewing entirely on her own I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I was!

The ones above and in the two photos below were made by Skye, Nikki, Imogen, Jemima, Francesca, Abigail, Sophie, Scarlett, Bluebell, Heather and Tabby... and although I can remember who made most of them there are one or two I'm not sure about... so sorry not to credit you individually girls! All fabulous though!

The three below were made by my trusty band of helpers
Gill, Pam and Ann

And in a special photo all to herself is the one made by Abigail and Francesca's Mum, Rhian... because she claims she can't really sew. Looks pretty good to me!

And just before I put my camera away, Nikki produced a second one so here are her two together. Such beautiful stitching.

I know I say this every time but you have worked so hard, produced such beautiful results and as ever are a delight to work with. Thank you all my girls, helpers, mums and grannies!
