With a little more than a week to go before Christmas there's always one or two last minute gifts that are needed.

I have put together a collection of fun stitched brooches, patches and ornaments as inspiration that would make a lovely gift for someone.

Some of the links are DIY and demonstrate step by step how to make them, others are brooches that can be bought from small online businesses, and some are simply some inspiration for you that may help get your creative juices flowing. And then there are others which are ornaments, but if you added a pin to the back, then they too would make a great brooch.

The idea for this post came from when I was brain storming on what to make my grandmother. She is now in an old age home, and I wanted to make her something that would suit her new surroundings. And I thought a home made brooch would be the perfect gift to brighten her day, and also not take up too much space.
