Saturday Showcase #10


Assalaamu Alaikum, after a really long time, I finally have something to showcase this Saturday! As usual, I have so many WIPs going on at the same time and nothing’s done. This week’s showcase is a little crochet brooch that I made last Sunday afternoon to wear to my cousin’s wedding tomorrow.


Of course I had nothing to wear to the main reception! The breakfast after the nikah is a no-brainer as I’ll wear a fancy black abaya, multi-toned pink hijab and funky jewellery. But for the evening event, I went out and bought a silver-grey satin blouse, matching pin-tucked skirt which I’ll top with a tailored dark grey waistcoat.

This is the skirt which I bought in a lovely muted silver-grey (source: www.edgars.co.za)

I’ll be rounding it off with a lovely hijab that my Mom bought me for my birthday last year, but it still needed a little something. So I quickly made this cute 3-leaf clover brooch to wear on the waistcoat. I adore this colour as it’s my favourite shade, plus it brings out the hints of green on the hijab.


Resting on this lovely hijab

The final touch!

Assalaamu Alaikum,

Hey Umm Salihah, I'm also fairly new to crochet and I highly recommend it; but just be careful as it can be addictive :-D
