I’m running a series of swaps on Swap-Bot using the same flower pattern, but changing the colour of the flowers for each swap. At the end we’ll have a range of flowers in all the colours of the rainbow. And pink. The first two swaps were for red and yellow. Here’s what I’m sending out tomorrow.
Apart from the plain red petals, they’re all done with cotton (FQs for the win). The big red petals are a shirt I bought at savers. Getting real red in FQs was impossible, and I didn’t want to buy off the bolt because I am lazy and also it’s more expensive and I’m cheap. CHEAP.
The pattern is another freebie (considering the group is Free Pattern Creations, that might explain my incredible over-use of free patterns!) by Carina Gardner called The Felicity Fabric Flower.
The flowers are dead easy to put together, suitable to hand sew if you have no machine and feel like making something quick and fun. The next colours are pink and green, so I’ll post those when I’ve done them.
What’s that you say? You need a gratuitous macro shot? Well sure!
You’re welcome.
