Almost every Saturday at noon, I go to a very tasteful coffee&craft shop in my hometown, Thessaloniki. The coffee shop is called “Κουμπί” which means button. There, I follow a course devoted to hand sewing called “Atelier Textile.” It’s a wonderful cozy coffee shop, where you can drink your coffee or tea or wine while crafting. I love that stuff!
This Saturday our ‘happy’ crafting team, followed a course on jewelry made of fabric scraps. It is really amazing to see the creations that can be made out of thrown away garments! Nothing gets wasted!
I made the ring and a brooch in the photo above. I really want to make a dozen of different kind of jewelry, as the custom designs and color combinations of thread and textiles are infinite!
If you know the basics of sewing you can try it on your own. All you need is to cut simple geometric shapes and sew them together with matching, or contrasting color threads. You can also add beads or buttons. Hope you ‘ll enjoy it!!!
