Tonight, I used some of my favorite fabric to make a pin.  I got about 4 yards of the forest-print fabric at a garage sale a few years ago and it’s my favorite fabric find ever.  I put interfacing on the back for support, and then layered the sage green fabric on top of it.  Then I finished it of with embroidery loops in the center.  And a fastener in the back.

Today I had lots of different ideas for crafty things to do, but I can only make one thing at a time… so, I chose to do a butterfly pin for a friend of mine. I got this idea because I have a butterfly pin of my own, that I bought a year ago. Mine is made of 3 different pink tones of felt, sewed together in a pin. My friend saw it and fell in love with it, so I promised I’d make her one. But I added a few things to make it a little more appealing.
