Easy Scrap Fabric Flowers

One really cute way to make something lovely out of scrap fabric (that you might otherwise bin) is to make scrap fabric flowers.

You can add a pin to the back and give or wear them as brooches, or you can sew them directly onto a hat, bag or lapel as a permanent accessory.

STEP 1

So for both I started off with making the petals of the flowers.

STEP 2

I used a shorter stitch for the thin men’s shirt cotton and a longer one for the tweed and quilted fabrics.

STEP 3

To assemble your scrap fabric flower, all you have to do is lay out your petals in the design you like and pick out a pretty button (or several) to finish it off.

Depending what you plan to do with your scrap fabric flowers you can choose to add a backing to finish it off.
