Fabric Flower Favor Bouquet

As I was getting ready for the Avant Garde Craft Show in Westlake, I came up with an additional way to display my flower clips. I made them into a favor bouquet. What is special about the bouquet is that it can be dismantled at the end of a special event and each flower can be given away as a favor to attending guests. The flower clips are attached to ribbons which crisscross a styrofoam sphere. Green silk leaves mounted on wires fill in the spaces in between the flowers. It was really a fun thing to make. It could easily morph into a pomander or handheld bouquet.

Yellow Fabric Flower for Wendy

A client asked for a yellow fabric flower, so I made several and she would have a choice. These flowers are the orgami petal fold and most of them are double petals. Very fun. She picked the one with the purple center.

For Cindy

A friend of mine has a coat of her daughter's and wants to extend the sleeve length. However there isn't enough seem allowance to make the change. I suggested adding ribbed cuffs. I did the same alteration for one of my husband's pullovers. I took out the elastic and added ribbed cuffs to each sleeve, there by extending the length of the sleeves. Cindy please consider this option. I think it would work for your daughter's jacket. Cheers!

Dress Hem Turned Fabric Flower

This flower came from a hem remnant. It was a woven textual purple black fabric. Again thick, so it will turn into a pin rather than a hair clip.
