Some Fabric flowers Ive been making
I have just recently being playing around with lace and decided to make some flowers with some of the different laces in my stash and this is what I've come up with so far. A very lovely friend from DoCrafts, Maddy AKA IzzWizz sent me some beautiful vintage buttons and since then I've been trailing ebay to add to the ones Mandy sent me. Maddy is an amazing crafter and her style is right up my street. If you would like to see her gallery, click
here.
If you would like a tutorial on any of them, please don't be afraid to ask, it would be my pleasure. Flowers seem to be everywhere at the minute and are having a bit of a resurgence. I'm seeing them on clothes, hair bands and even on canvasses. I saw a gorgeous big fluffy flower the other day on the waistband of a dress in a Shop in Belfast and stood for ages looking at it to see how it was made. I'll be playing around with more fabric me thinks and I'm going to attempt to make more fabric fluffy ones.
Be gentle with me, these flowers are my first attempts at fabric and lace flowers in a very long time. My primary school teacher taught me to make a lot of flowers but it's been a while since I made them, so be gentle with me, lol.
Thank you so much for any comments, all are greatly received. Loops xx
