Cute Fabric Flowers and How You Can Make Your Own

The sewing I did this afternoon did not quite go as planned, but I think I'll get better once I've done more of them.  I found this fantastic tutorial for making fabric flowers here: http://sewritzytitzy.blogspot.com/2008/11/from-annas-gardenfabric-flower-tutorial.html and decided to give it a whirl.  Don't laugh at my flower:



My tiny worktable, so I can watch TV while I sew




My grandmother's antique sewing machine she gave me to work on




My crafty tiara...don't ask because I don't know.
And ignore the clean laundry to my left.




Work in progress




Finished product

If you sew at all, make sure you check out the tutorial.  Even though it took me 2 1/2 hours to make this droopy flower, it was tons of fun and I can't wait to try another one tomorrow.  If you try this tutorial at any time, please let me know in the comments and take a picture of the flower if you can!
