Fabric flowers can easily be made of scratches and single buttons. I think single ones look cute, but I especially like to make several of them with matching colours or patterns, like the ones pictured below.
My favourite project using fabric flowers was a brooch for which I combined several of the flowers, leaves and stems in plaid and striped fabric in different shades of blue, but it was a gift and I gave it away without taking a photo.
Another project I used fabric flowers for was a headband, onto which I sewed two fabric flowers next to a few buttons.
The next one was actually made by my mother. I made several of this kind, too, but again, I gave them away and didn’t take any photos before.
This one is made a little different from the ones above, but the basic technique is the same.
Fabric flowers can be used for a lot of different things. Next to brooches and headbands they would look cute along the neckline of a shirt or a dress, you could add them to barettes or hair ties and they would spice up a plain bag or even shoes!
On Wednesday I will show you how you can make some of them, too!
What would you use them for and what kind of fabric would you choose?
So adorable, love polka dots
Yes, me (obviously), too! I have a stock of polca dot fabrics just in case
