Tutorial Tuesday: Circle Posie

After taking a couple weeks off from making tutorials I'm back! I came up with this design on accident and was quite pleased with it!



First I cut out 6 circles of fabric using a cd for a template. Trace a circle on the top layer of fabric pin the layers together and cut.

6 of these...


then you can either draw a small circle using the bottom of a spool of thread or wing it....you are going to sew a circle on the circle gathering the fabric as you sew....just kind of bunch it up under the foot as you go...


it will look like this...




You will need a piece of felt to sew the flower to. Now stack them all together and sew in the middle. I sewed a big spiral circle on mine.


this is what the back looks like....cut the excess off in the shape of the circle...(not shown)


next I cut 6 strips of fabric about 4" long by 2" wide then I cut them into a fringe.


then I stacked the pieces together like so...


then pinch them together and sew them.


next fold the strip over...


then I sewed it down under some of the petals...


I sewed this one down to a headband but if you didn't want to permanently attach it this is the point where you would attach a barrette of some sort.

Tada!
