Flower Power

This weekend I made a fun purse using an Amy Butler pattern. I can never stick to a pattern so I made a lot of modifications. Next time I make it again I will create a new improved pattern and share it :)

But I do have a Flower Power Pattern to share that I made up to add spice to any purse!

You'll Need:

• 1/4-1/2 yard fabric
• large button
• coordinating thread
• hand needle
• pins
• 1/4-1/2 yard fusible interfacing
• Flower Power pattern

1: Cut out pattern (adjust size if smaller flower is desired) and cut out 2 for each of the 5 petals.

2: Cut out 1 interfacing for every petal (5), then iron interfacing to fabric.

3: Sew 1 interfacing fused fabric with 1 non fused fabric petal, clip edges.

4: Turn petal inside out, iron, and stitch down.

5: Pleat end of petal, iron, and sew in place.

6: Arrange petals and tack down with needle and thread. Hand sew on button. Sew or pin flower to purse, hat, clothing, etc.

How easy was that to add a little spice and pizazz!
