While in California my mother, sister and I did a little shopping. That may be an understatement. My mom, Mary, will be 87 years old next month, and believe me when I say she is a force of nature. The energy of a hurricane pales in comparison. If they ever name a hurricane "Mary", I have one word of advice. Evacuate. I have to take multi-vitamins when I'm with her just to keep up. Anyway, we did a little shopping. I'll have to show you some of the things I purchased later this week, but first I must show you this adorable clutch...


In my previous attempts with fabric flowers I've made a simple flowery fabric version that has graduated rounds that are singed on the edges with a candle. This melts the edge and turns it up to form curved "petals." I love this stunningly simple version.






By the way, those fabric flowers that I found in the store were $30 each. I would venture to guess that the silvery flowers I made were less than $2 each. Quite a savings.
Have a great day!

Gorgeous Suzanne! You have quite a talent for putting these together. I would surely catch the house on fire!
Beautiful and yes, you got a steel!
Beautiful. You are amazing and creative and talented - I love seeing the things you are able to do!
So pretty! I love it. Thank s for describing your process!
Those are beautiful. Yours look better than any I've seen in stores. Seriously. I may have to try that.
Thanks for sharing.
That is really gorgeous! I think your version is far nicer than the expensive version!!
I love your creation...will they be available in your Etsy shop? Can't wait to catch up on your blog!
I love this! It is gorgeous! Now I must really try to make fabric flowers! You've inspired me!
Hey all - I've gotten a couple of emails asking if these flowers will be sold in my Etsy. The answer is... "Nope." Even though they are very inexpensive to make they are labor intensive, so I would probably charge at least $25 per flower. That's why I'm giving away the pattern -- so that you can all make one if you want one! ;o)
These are just beautiful! I've done a few fabric flowers but none as pretty as these.
Thank you so very much for offering the pattern to us. I will email you immediately.
most appreciably yours,
Rett
