First, make a simple flower pattern that measures about 3 and 1/4" across. Make a leaf pattern that measures about 3" x 1 and 1/2". Cut a 2 and 3/4" circle out for the flower center. Cut everything out of fabric. I used a layer of warm and natural with the flowers.
Next, sew around everything and clip through one layer of fabric to turn flowers. Gather circle centers. Leave flat or fill with a little stuffing. Pull gathers tight and tie. Find some buttons to spruce up the centers and tie some floss in the button holes.
Now glue everything together. Cut a 1 and 1/2" circle out of the leaf fabric. This gets glued to the back of flower. See bottom right flower.
Ta Dah! That's it. See what you can do with them.

These are "sew" cute Becky! I make fabric flowers all the time but they are different than yours. Love how you displayed them around the candle and in the clay pot too!
I'm a new follower, love all your photos on your side bar-makes me want to be in the garden!
I will post a link on my blog and hopefully send some more followers your way!!!!!
Have a great evening.

Love the flowers, thanks so much for sharing with us!
These flowers are just what I needed today after four hours of snow removal. I love all the art work you have displayed on your blog, you are so very creative!
Becky, these are adorable and what a great way to use up scraps. Not sure I can send you many more followers as I have about the same as you - maybe you can try putting your follow button up just a little bit higher, I noticed that you really have to scroll down pretty far to find it. Good luck!
