Make a felt anemone brooch

felt flower anemone brooch, made by Adrienne Wyper
Anemones are one of my favourite flowers and, after staring at the couple that have come up in the garden, I was inspired to make this.

How to make a felt flower brooch
Cut petal shapes from red, pink, blue, white or purple felt. Stitch together in the middle, roughly, as your stitches will be covered by the button.
Sew some long white stitches from the centre outwards on each petal to represent the flower's white markings.
I had some fuzzy black trim, which I decided to use for the black anthers in the middle, but you could leave this out, or substitute black felt. If you're using it, sew it on.
Sew on a black or dark brown button.
Cut some crinkly-edged leaf shapes from green felt, and stitch to back of flower. Sew on a brooch pin.
Wear!
