A button for everyone...

I made this rosette for a friend's birthday, the ladybird was cute and (thankfully) quick to stitch and I knew she would appreciate the little critter. Buttons / badges make great gifts as they can be made up very fast, useful if you want to give a gift on impulse or maybe didn't allow yourself much time to buy or make a present for someone. They can be turned into necklaces and broaches pretty easily too.
 
 
The design below was inspired by Emilie Autumn's signature rattie. I wanted to make up a small collection of little gifts to give Emilie when I last saw her perform. This was one of them; my second stitching attempt, as I lost the previous one by (somewhat ironically) dropping it in to a cup of tea. I just free hand embroidered it on to some stripy material and attached it to a self covered button.
