I
got this idea for this corsage, after seeing one that someone had made from an
old copy of their favourite book.
Although how they could bear to cut up a copy of their favourite book is
beyond me!
It
is a paper map, so, like the book corsage you shouldn’t wear it on your outside
coat in case it rains. But it’s a fun
decoration for a cardigan or shirt.
Mine
is made using two circles of Harris Tweed, cut with pinking shears to try and
contain this fabric’s tendency to fray. I then sewed on a circle of map using Sylko Mustard Gold thread in back stitch and finished it off with a button from my vast
collection.
You
can use this as a reminder of a favourite place or holiday. Alternatively, you could proudly display your
birthplace. I went for Buxton – if I
could be anywhere in the world I would be in the Peak District, and Buxton is
the capital city! I’ve had many a refined day out in England’s highest town.
