Save all those beautiful remnants of print cottons and iridescent silks to help your little girl create something sumptuous for the summer. Combining stitching with a few simple jewellery making techniques, this fab accessories set will teach youngsters how to make the most of their stash.
Make a button and fabric necklace
Decorate buttons. Cover three 2.5cm buttons by choosing fabric scraps with small motifs and cutting a 5cm diameter circle from each so the design sits in the centre. Gather up the circles 5mm in from the edge with running stitch and draw tight over the buttons. Secure the gathers and fasten off. Cut 2.5cm circles of brightly coloured felt and oversew by hand to the back edge of the buttons to neaten.
Stitch a rosette. Make three rosettes from 2.5cm wide strips of patterned cotton by gathering up one long edge with running stitch, pull tight, trim fabric and fasten off. Cut small and large circles
