Hi all, I created a Brooches thread back in 2016 but it occurred to me that was probably a bit out of date now and if someone saw a brooch they liked and it was then out of stock, it might put them off from searching the thread for other brooches. So here’s a start for Brooches we have now, and I’ll start off by my latest Heart Brooch: > **[Heart brooch - heart textile fabric brooch or hat accessory](https://folksy.com/items/7082760-Heart-brooch-heart-textile-fabric-brooch-or-hat-accessory)** > > Heart brooch - lovely fabric heart shaped textile brooch created from burgundy and yellow fabric, which makes a beautiful colour combination. An original and unique design, handcrafted by Heidi Meier and no one else will have the same brooch! As... ---

These are lovely! I was at a craft show last week and next to a lady who made some gorgeous fabric hats. Many of hers had flower crochet brooches pinned to them, so you could always use that in a listing/ tags too, to potentially widen your audience. ---
