Fabric brooch. G(end)er Swap recalls "This Yo-Yo Brooch was made by Frosty the Sewman (a custom tailor based in South Wales) during a collaborative online DIY style tutorial we ran on our Instagram account. Frosty met with Santi, Director of G(end)er Swap on Instagram Live to demonstrate how to make brooches out of scrap fabric. The online tutorial took place in May 2021 for one hour. It had over 300 views. You can still view the tutorial on the feed today (@genderswap_) and it has served as an enduring style resource for the LGBTQ+ community". https://www.instagram.com/tv/COyLhz0jcig/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= .1 is the brooch that is being created during the workshop. .2 is already made at the point of filming and can be seen in the background, pinned to a mannequin.
