This week we are going to use up some more of our scrap fabric to make some cute fabric flowers.
You will need: A strip of calico at least 27cm x 9 cm. I cut mine a little bigger and trim later. Assorted coordinating fabric at least 9cm x 2 cm. Fusible webbing, Needle and Thread, Button.
You will need: A strip of calico at least 27cm x 9 cm. I cut mine a little bigger and trim later. Assorted coordinating fabric at least 9cm x 2 cm. Fusible webbing, Needle and Thread, Button.
Step 1:Cut a strip of fusible webbing, long enough to fit all the small strips. Using a hot iron fuse the webbing to the fabric strips.
Step 2:Remove the paper backing from the small strips and place on the calico, side by side. Iron in place.
Step 3: Fold the fabric in half lengthwise.
Step 4: Thread needle with strong thread. Tie a knot in end. Along open edge stitch a wide running stitch.
Step 5: Starting at the folded edge start cutting petals. Stop cutting about 5mm from running stitch. Don’t cut the petals too close together or they will not hold their shape.
Step 6: Gather thread up until flower forms circle. Sew a few backstitches to secure. Add button of choice.
Next week, I’ll show you another quick and simple fabric flower.
