Step 1: Make your Scrap Fabric “Petals”

Step 2: Sew the edges of your Petals

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

Step 4: Add a backing (optional)

If however you are planning to stitch these scrap fabric flowers straight onto another project like a bag or a hat or something you may not need any backing at all.
