I have fabric flowers on my mind from yesterday’s Sunday Surf. This is one I made for my friend’s daughter to match her pillow case dress I made her for her 1st birthday.
If you recognize the fabric, its from an earlier Recycle, Reuse, Refashion post. I took the shirt I had made for myself (that turned out too small) and made it into a pillow case dress.
I got the inspiration to make a flower like this, from this Etsy shop/blog. She makes brooches and other pieces of art.
I just cut out two different shaped circles and hot glued them together, then covered a button with matching fabric (you can find button cover kits at the fabric store, or you can just use a real button). Then I cut out the little leaf petals from ribbon (the same ribbon I used in the pillow case dress of course) and hot glued them to the back. Then I hot glued the whole thing to a metal hair clip.
The flower fell off after only a little bit of wear, so next time I am going to try and figure out how to attach it to the clip by sewing it.
