My First Craft Project (In Years) - Fabric Flower Brooch
- 6/27/2008
 Here is a look at the first craft project that I've done in years. I attempted the first simple fabric flower project in "Fun-to-Wear Fabric Flowers".
I will admit mine does not even resemble the example flower but I am OK with that. I like how mine turned out & I learned a bit along the way.
Obviously, I didn't have the correct fabric on hand - they called for something entirely different. Instead I cut up an old shirt that I was about to donate. It was a cotton/spandex button-down in the color purple. So, given that I used different fabric, it didn't act the same and that's to be expected.
I also discovered that if you make your gathering stitch longer like I did you end up with more of an accordian effect as opposed to the softer gathering you will get if you keep your stitches closer together. From now on I will try to photograph the steps I used & upload to flickr. I still have to sign up for an account with them - how behind am I, right?
Oh, by the way, you can see the outfit I wore this with in MyStyleDiary. Check it out!
