the sun, the spring and some lovely fabric flowers

spring is here and so are the lovely lovely colorful flowers. going for a walk early in the morning today, I met loads of these beauties. some were blossoming in the public park and front yards of houses and some were growing along the sidewalks, in the wild bushes and on the trees. no matter where they are, flowers never fail to bring a smile upon my face.


those flowers are what inspired me to make these cute little ones from some fabric scraps i had. now i am sure you will get loads of tutorials all over the net about how to make fabric flowers, but i for one  still haven't found one which would tell you 'what not to do' while making these flowers.so here in this post i have tried to mention the mistakes i had made so that you won't make them.



this simple fabric flower tutorial can be found at many places. steps are simple:
1. cut 2" x 1" fabric pieces .
2. fold them in half.
3. sew them all with a simple running stitch.
4. pull the thread and stitch the ends together.
5. arrange the petals nicely before fixing them.
while making this flower, take a note of what side of fabric you are using
