How to Protect Your Clothing From Brooches

[@ClutchingPearlz]

This was so helpful. I love brooches but have always been scared of the damage they cause my clothes.

[@2fapple]

Wow!. Thank you for this video. I inherited my grandmother’s brooches when I was a teenager and have loved wearing them just about every day since. I have definitely run into the hanging, slipping and pin hole problems. Again, thank you.

[@gravecat1902]

Oh my goodness what a help you've been to me today. I never ever thought to use those teeny tiny plastic earring backings to secure a large brooch on my clothing. Madam you're a genius thank you for everything that you've explained to us today so very helpful God bless you!

[@jeaniet8648]

🤯 so clever and simple! Thank you for sharing these very helpful tips -- now i can wear my brooches without worry of ruining my garments ☺️

[@4musikable]

Excellent tips, I can bring my collection of brooches out of my jewelry case and wear them more frequently.

[@joycestartt9033]

Laura, as always love your tips. For broaches I use a backing fabrics of wool patches from my scraps. When wearing a costly piece I additionally put the backing pin through a safety pin and secure just in case the broach should open

[@SewVeryEasy]

The pin idea is good one! thanks for sharing I will keep it in mind:)

[@gretchengh]

Thanks for these tips! Especially helpful for wearing vintage brooches with bling. I appreciate all your KZbin videos. Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks and thank you for watching

[@DrCrissyDionne]

Amazingly helpful and right on time! Turning 40 next month so I treated myself to my very first Chanel piece- a brooch. As I await its arrival, I was looking up ways to wear it when I stumbled across your wonderful video. I have loved brooches since my teen years, but started steering away from them because of all the problems you mentioned. Now I'm excited to confidentially wear my newest statement piece.

[@indigoghostz4860]

So happy this showed up in my feed after I was browsing the many unique brooches on Etsy! I have many I love and quit wearing because of the holes they created... wonderful and subscribed.

[@b.runettepet4904]

Thanks for these tips. I'd stopped wearing brooches because I was afraid of damaging my clothes. Time to pull them out of the jewelry box!

[@monarawles5832]

oh, if only I'd known this in all my years of working in my office!!! This is terrific! I still have my antique pins, will get them out and create montages on some of my plain casual/dressy clothes-- Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

OH how fun, I love antique pins too:)

[@user-ajp-4891]

When I was a little girl I said I was going to wear a brooch every day when I grew up. Well I grew up. Someone gave me my first brooch and I put it on my lapel for work. And it was a heavy brooch and of course it wore down that part of my lapel. I haven’t gotten anymore brooches. That was 20 years ago. But with this information, I’ll be hunting down some brooches here soon. Thank you.

[@elizabethhall1716]

Oh my! I stopped wearing Brooches for these very reasons. Thank you so much. I have a lovely sewing machine brooch with charms, I have got to go find now.

[@SewVeryEasy]

How fun!

[@ruthptb]

Thank you Laura. This was an excellent video and you've given this subject a lot of thought. These instructions are so obvious and one of those 'duh!' moments for me.

[@SewVeryEasy]

it was a duh for me too...

[@lauranicholls5052]

Hi Laura, where do you get your ideas, this is another great idea. Thank you for sharing with us. Laura

[@juliannaburgess9177]

[@SewVeryEasy]

[@programaths]

Looked at brooch for me, then rembered damage it can do to clothes then found this video. Good and clear explanations!

[@amymcginty6634]

Thank you🙏 How can I protect the fabric itself from the holes the pin make? Is there any way? Loved this video!😘

[@georgiawallace77]

Thank you...don't usually leave a comment...but this was so informative for me...I'm not crafty or experimental...this video helped me understand and learn so much

[@tacheese5714]

Great suggestions. From where can i get fabric swatches and what size?

[@motherpops]

Great ideas! I bought a packet of 100 of those little earring backs . thankyou

[@SewVeryEasy]

Good idea!

[@AnoushBotanical]

Brilliant... I will actually wear brooches all season with your tips instead of only on winter coats. Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Glad to help:)

[@avrilorily8263]

Thanks for sharing these useful tips.

[@susanserefine3383]

Great tips. I wear brooches a lot. Thanks.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Glad you liked it :)

[@swhjlh412]

Love this tip!! Just one question.....if you have a thin fabric like the blouse you showed in this video, what can you do to keep the tulle/netting from being scratchy? I'm always cutting tags or threads that drive me crazy scratching my skin. Is there a lightweight fabric similar to the one shown that isn't stiff and scratchy? As I always say, you have the best tips, gadgets and tutorials. :D TFS! xoxoJanet

[@SewVeryEasy]

I have found that it is not to hard on my skin...I do the same thing! Try different fabric and see what works best for you":)

[@colleenisaac6647]

[@tina8796]

I have a lot of brooches and this is a very helpful video. thank you

[@DIYYALL]

This was an amazing tip. Thank you for posting this.

[@agj567]

But the holes will still be there after you remove the brooch? I only wear mines with knitted tops because the weaving is loose so easy to find an 'opening' but other fabrics, I don't want to make holes.

[@eliea7900]

Great tip! I will definitely try it. I came across this video in search of "How to secure a brooch on clothing. I wore a brooch yesterday on my jacket and it fell off. I back tracked my steps and found it, luckily! Do you have any tips on securing your brooch so that you do not loose it?

[@angelikaoudewesselink2958]

[@garcz3]

Thank you. Will these tips also prevent the "holes" from the pins? I love wearing brooches but am so afraid of ruining th fabric...this definitely helps but what about those pins holes in delicate fabrics? Even with the back Fabrice reinforcement, won't they still leave holes?

[@kleendip13]

I’m wondering the same thing.

[@9159bsbs]

I mean...how do you know these things that never would have occurred to me? By the way, Laura, please forgive my lapse of good judgment when I asked if you might let me commission you to make a quilt! Good grief!

[@SewVeryEasy]

why...I didn't say no! pm me:)

[@sueleigh1018]

If you just read what I just now sent, you know I am the planet's token tech idiot, and you also know I'm doing everything on my phone. And my phone isn't able to pm you. I go to your channel and hit "about" and it doesn't give me any option or button to message you. I talked to my carrier, TMOBILE and they couldn't help! so here I sit upriver in my little canoe with no paddle and bloodthirsty mooses wading into the water to antler me to death!

[@celinee7419]
