I decided to see what it would look like with a tiny bit of fiberfill added to the petals .
The petals now look like little puffy pointed pillows. I like it.
Instead of a tufted center, I went with a stack of coordinating buttons.
Although the method is similar to the original, the end product looks slightly different. It now has a really nice chunky feel to it. I hope that you give this a try.
It has been a very busy past couple of weeks for our family. My son is now settled in his dorm room and my hubby and I have become temporary empty nesters (if you exclude the fur and feathered babies that also call this place home). It has suddenly become very quiet around here and something that the hubs and I will need to get used to.
I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!
Aloha!
Wow I love it.. also the new version... Soon I will give it a try,

What a cute flower! We've been empty nesters for a little over a year. At first it is really strange and sad. But then you realize this is you and your husband's time. Relax and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteTooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThe ladies here in Amerika Samoa love flowers so one night about 30 women showed up and I taught them how to make your beautiful flowers...they had an awesome time.
I also teach a group of ladies to sew and crafts....and these gals just took off with these flowers, they had them in their hair, on their totes, on their shirts....it is just amazing how you have touched so many people with your creativity. Thanks soooooooooooo much!
They look great either way!
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Luciana, I am Brazilian and I would say I'm addicted to crafts. Whenever I go into the Internet for news and those that are more like those related to the tissues. Your blog is undoubtedly the most beautiful I have ever seen and explanatory. Thank you for gifting us with so many beautiful things. I'm sorry if there are any errors.
ReplyDeleteI would also ask, if not others, to make a step by step teaching how to put elastic, and sew the elastic in the pants, shorts. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteI really love the new version! Great job Lettie.
ReplyDeleteI liked your original tutorial and I like what you did with this one. Lovely.
