Circle Flowers from Fabric

Joanne taught us how to make fabric flowers to embellish scissor cases, hats, or anything that needs a little dressing up. First you use a rotary cutter and mat to cut the circles out of the fabric. You need five or six of the same color. You fold the circle in half, right side facing out, and do a running stitch along the circular edge. Then you pull the thread tight. You should leave your doubled thread long enough to hold all the petals. When you have all your petals sewn, you join them at the center. To cover the stitching, you add a button which can be sewn on or glued. They are fun and easy to make.
