Fabric Flowers

I made these flowers for Easter for my girls and I.   They were fun to make! They didn't take much fabric or time! :) I found the instructions in a book from the library by Elizabeth Searle.  All of her flowers measure about 3 inches in diameter.  That was perfect for what I wanted, but may be a little larger than wanted for headbands or other hair accessories.   I don't think it would be to hard to alter the patterns to create smaller flowers or even go larger for home decorating, such as on a wreath for your front door.  :)
One very good tip in the book was to use a more sturdy thread such as quilting thread. Also be on the lookout for buttons or other bling for flower centers!  :) I'm hoping to get more of these made and added to my shop soon! Happy Wednesday!
