I was inspired by this paper flower tutorial to make fabric roses from recycled fabrics (two of the leaves are made from a sweater I felted.)  Basically, follow the paper flower tutorial, but hand-sew the layers together as you make the petals.  Then attach the hair clip or pin to your leaf, then sew the leaf in place.  Use fabric glue & adhere a scrap of leaf fabric to the leaf, hiding your stitches.

I’m also teaching these flowers for a class at Craft Akron…Tuesday, December 29 1-2:30pm and Saturday, January 30 1-2:30pm.
