Cabbage roses are in bloom Everywhere!

Some sew easy and fast!

Have you noticed all the tissues flowers adorn dresses these days? Take a look around the department stores.

Are all on the citizens, and in homes.

Fabric flowers can be purchased very expensive.

But you can sew your own with just a few pieces of cloth and a bit 'of time.

Here is a simple technique for tailoring cabbage roses in minutes.

I like two sizes of roses.The smallest cut cloth bias requires 3 "wide x 15" long.

The largest rose is 5 "wide x 27" long.

Try to see an example for all, whatever you want. Of course, you make any width and length. Experiment. Remember that the weight of the fabric makes a difference.

They want to know that the length and width of the piece of real distortion of material required for the size you want the rose to be, when completed depends.

Times the width at half with the right side and wrong sidetogether. Do not press.

Make small slits along the side edges of the double-bias fabric. This will prevent the tendency to if you are curling and point you in a pink wrap.

As a side note: This is a good trick to know, keep twisting tendency in other areas of your sewing machine.

Each machine or hand baste 1 / 4 "from the edges corresponding first slot on the edges, sewing.

Drag collect up to baste the seams when the material easily.

Tuck the edge first end. ThisThe center of the rose.

Now, roll or wrap tissue loosely gathered around him.

If all this is packed, it pulls the other end with the rose, to hide and tuck it inside pins available.

A needle with a single thread beeswax to strengthen the thread and keep it from disorder. I would also like to run the wire under the iron to melt the wax in the discussions. This is another good tip for those who remember sewn by hand.

Then take back and stitchesthe bottom of the rose, keep all the layers fit together and secure the free end.

On the outside, then turn the folded edge a little 'back to look like a flower.

Note: The more you collect the thread, the flower pot. Looser gathers make the flower stand anymore. You have to experiment, gather with the order for the desired look.

Remember, there is no urgent need.

Now, you want your eyes prepared on the back.

Press some fusesConnection to a piece of pink cloth accordingly. Draw a circle the size of the lower base of the flower.

Cut out the circle. The interface will stop it fraying.

Hand stitching the circle to the bottom of your greatest cover all the rough edges.

You can put a pin back on the floor or rose to sew directly to your clothing. I pull back a peg, so you can easily remove the rose and other clothing, hats, scarves, etc.

I saw these rosesDecorate a wedding dress that is absolutely breathtaking.

Use some unique fabrics for your roses. Try to print, stripes, plaids, etc. Have some fun!

You could also try some roses old ties for men. Tie fabric is already cut bias.

Extra Tip: Save the interfaces of the bonds, making new relationships.

To keep your roses "keep fresh" and crushed, put the roses in little plastic eggs Hosiery Leggs.

For large roses, a ring ofCardboard from an old file, folder or box of cereal. Place the rose and stick around for the right size for the rose.

Use your roses in the lapel, hair with a scarf to decorate a hat, decorate a piece of clothing or a special gift instead of a bow.

Like cabbage roses on a decorative pillow or your evening bags or place on your curtain tiebacks.

I have seen on a tape wrapped around some towels in the bathroom! Really gorgeous!

Make yourflower arrangement just to suit your decor.

Only makes sense to do it yourself!

Use your imagination! You are the designer!

They are ready to do as a gift.
