Easy method of using your scrap fabric to make pretty fabric flowers that you can turn into broochs or use as embellishments on hats, bags and headbands.
I started off with making the petals of the flowers. For the tweed/blue one I decided to make them a bit more pointy and for the red and cream one a bit more rounded.
Next I used a zigzag stitch around the edge of each of my petals. I used a shorter stitch for the thin men’s shirt cotton and a longer one for the tweed and quilted fabrics.
To assemble your scrap fabric flower, all you have to do is lay out your petals in the design you like and pick out a pretty button (or several) to finish it off.
