I am blogging out of order, but I'm very excited about these... (i'll share our weekend later)
I've been searching for a good way to make fabric flowers for the wedding. I couldn't afford all the corsages we needed so I thought this would be a cute way to make the corsage's for G's grandmothers. I seriously have about 15 ways to make fabric flowers in my 'wedding' google notebook, but I hadn't found one that was simple enough and cute enough to persuade me to try them. UNTIL I got the In Stitches sewing book by Amy Butler from the library. After I fell in love with just about every project in there I found the greatest way to make a flower from just a little fabric and minimal sewing.
Tonight I dove in and LOVE THEM!!! Here they are hot glued to a piece of ribbon... easiest, cutest corsages EVER! plus they don't get thrown away - I think that makes them good for the environment!

I LOVE THEM - seriously awesome!
I went to our library to reserve that book and there is a wait of 20 people! Holy crapola!
So cute, my friend! I'm very impressed (as I usually am by your craftiness :)
They turned out so well!! Good work!
Nicole, how did you attach the ends of the ribbon so they can slide it on and off?
I really want this book!!
One more - sorry - I was just looking at at jenni's blog and catching up and you mention adding a cool widget....let me know what you have on your igoogle page because I haven't added much and I am too impatient to look through and find different ones so I would love advice on some good ones.
