Fabric Flowers

The other day I stumbled upon some fabulous fabric flowers on Winter's blog who forwarded me to Courtney's blog for a great video tutorial on how to make them. Needless to say I spent some time this weekend making fabric flowers.


And I even manage to put together a card using one of the flowers. This card measures 5x7.

Here's a closeup of the flower on the card. I had a great time at the fabric store on Sunday morning. Looking at all of the different fabrics and trying to decide what would look good as a flower. I bought 3/8's of a yard of a few different fabrics that were on sale and then cut them into strips about 3 1/2 inches wide to make my flowers. Some of my flowers got pretty big so I think I'll try making some with a thinner strip of fabric. The burlap flower was fun to make but it's really bulky so I thinking it will end up on some type of altered project. . . gift box or bag or basket or barrette. . . . so many possibilities.

Thanks so much for stopping. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

p.s. If you make any fabric flowers, please leave me a link so I can check them out.

WOW these are fantastic. I think sewing them really made them look much cleaner! Great job, glad you could use the video!

These are beautiful! I love them all! Did you sew them first? If you did, it would explain how clean and pretty, they are! :)
