Gathered Flower tutorial
Fabric Flowers are all the rage right now. This tutorial is for the gathered/ruffle flower.
-2 1/2 inch strip (length can vary but I like 22 inches
-Iron in half length wise
-sew a gathering stitch along one long edge (You have 2 options with this. Sew along the raw edge for a finished flower, or sew along the folded edge for a ragged look.)
-Pull and gather,
-Put a dab of hot glue at one end and fold over. This gives you a finished edge in the center.
-Start rolling with that end and shape as you roll and go. (if you did the ragged flower rough the edge with a tooth brush)
-Glue a small circle of felt to the back to hold and give it more stability
You can use this same method with ribbon or lace, just dont fold in half.
