Fashionable fabric flowers seem to be blooming everywhere these days, creating stylish accents on bags, belts, hats, jackets...any item of clothing imaginable. They're easy to cultivate, with this hip little guide on making a bouquet of eye-catching versions in any colour and fabric. Most don't even require machine stitching; just a little folding, gathering, and hand sewing, all explained in a handy introductory section. The projects range from refined to funky, and include a blossom in luxurious burgundy silk; loopy flowers with bias-covered cording and centers made of coiled zippers, and pretty roses and daffodils.
