Do you remember that I mentioned, when I visited Grace and Jacob a few weeks ago, that I booked on a course to make fabric flowers? Well that course was last Sunday. It was brilliant! No other word to describe just brilliant. Our tutor the very talented Bryony had made these to inspire us…
Then it was our turn. The day started with a very difficult choice, of choosing three (yes just three) different fabrics to make our flowers out of. The choice…
...was tricky, so many colours, so many patterns. In the end I decided on my three…
All of the flowers we made started in the same way: by cutting out circles of fabric. The circles were the folded in different ways and stitched together to make the petals of the flowers. Then finished off with a fabric covered button.
So, these circles…
These circles…
And these circles ….
Became this…
I am so, so, sooooooooo proud of what I made! Everyone on the course was so talented, are you ready for a group ta-dah moment? Here goes…
The day was made even better when Aleksandra arrived with her Cake Pops…
They were almost too pretty to eat. I did say almost, and they tasted just as good as they looked!
It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday: surrounded by fabric, making flowers, meeting other talented crafters. Now for the real challenge making more lovely fabric flowers, solo: without the safety- net of Bryony! I’ll let you know how I get on.
A massive thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU to Bryony and Fiona: for starting my love affair with fabric flowers.
Sorry Si – that does mean fabric in the house, as well as yarn!
