well hello Spring , it's nice to have you back !

It's nice to have you back too !

Let's get started on making some beautiful daffodils .

You will need some daffodily coloured fabric,

some thin wire , buttons, cardboard for templates

and green electrical tape .

 

Use the cardboard to make a petal template

the one used here is about 2" high .

Cut out your template and use it to trace 6 petals

on double fabric with right sides facing.

Stitch around all the petals before cutting them

out with pinking shears .

 

 

Turn the petals right side out and press.

Tack along the base of the petals without breaking

the thread in between keeping them all together .

 

 

Pull the thread to form flower shape and stitch

securely together .

 

 

Cut two different pieces of coloured fabric approx

4" wide x 2" high .

Stitch along the top .

Open out and fold to form a tube , stitch .

Fold under raw edges.

Turn right side out with the folded edges as your base.

Turn over a small piece at the top.

Gather and secure the base with neat stitching .

 

 

Stitch centre to petals .

 

 

Thread wire through button .

 

 

Push the wired button through the centre of the flower.

Cover the wire with green electrical tape .

 

 

I hope I have made all this very clear and

haven't forgotten any photos or steps .

Wishing you all a blooming gorgeous Spring !
