Grace says: Pin one of these to your top or jacket for a springtime bloom, or add several to a bag or coat for maximum effect.
Flower Corsage
Supplies:
Long scrap piece of fabric
Matching felt
Matching button
Badge back pin
What to do:
Cut your fabric into a long rectangle, 8cm by 50 cm
Fold in half, with the wrong sides together, and tuck the ends under. Sew a long, gathering stitch 1cm in from where the edges meet.
Gather your fabric into tight ruffles, then starting at one end, start to coil it up into a spiral, sewing it in place by hand as you go. Keep wrapping the strip around your centre and sewing in place, until you reach the end.
Sew your button in place at the centre of the flower.
Cut a circle of felt to cover the back of your flower and hide your stitches
If you want to add a broach pin, sew it to the centre of the felt now, then glue the felt circle securely in place on the back of your flower.
