Method 1: Easy Scrap Fabric Flowers

The flower above was made out of scraps of tweed, and some scraps of a man’s dress shirt.

MAKE YOUR SCRAP FABRIC “PETALS”

MAKE YOUR SCRAP FABRIC “PETALS”

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.
