Hi, I'm Heather. The creative voice behind the screen of The Sewing Loft. Where I share simple "how to" sewing projects that help keep you "reclaiming" your creativity, one stitch at a time!

I am so excited to share with the Setting For Four fans my quick and easy flower clips today. This craft is super easy and a great way to use left over scraps.

 


This project is for stitchers of all levels.

Skill Level - 1 Button

Materials:

• fleece, felt, felted sweater (any would work)
• button
• needle & thread
• mini cloths pins

Tools:

• needle/thread
• hot glue

Basic Instructions:

1. Draw a flower shape on scrap cardboard or card stock. Cut out and trace onto your square.
2. Start by cutting your fabric into squares. (I cut mine into 2 3/4" squares) You will need 3 squares to create one flower. But make a bunch, they are super fast.
3. Cut flower shape from fleece. Stack three flowers on top of each other; rotating as you go to see the petals.
4. Position your button in the center; with needle and thread, stitch to secure.
5. Grab your mini cloths pin and hot glue in place.

I like to clip these pretties onto lunch bags and notes for my girls but you could also swap out the cloths pins and attach them to hair ponies. These flowers are the perfect way to reclaim that favorite sweatshirt or outgrown sweater.

A big thanks to Heather for having me today and the Setting for Four followers for getting crafty with me!

Happy Crafting!
