Fabric flower embellishment

I wanted to make a layout using a large fabric flower like the Prima Frillies

 
but didn't have one in the right colour so decided to make my own.

I started by cutting heart shapes from some dyed cotton from a fabric inspiration pack I had. I originally cut 5 but then decided 7 would be better.

 

I then layered the hearts on each other and used an invisible sewing thread to sew them all together:

 
  

Having done this I then cut more heart shapes but this time in a dyed pink organza and then layered these on top of the cotton flower. When this was done I added a button to the centre and then sewed beads around this. I attached sequins to the cotton under the organza and then inked the edges of the flower with chalk ink to add some depth:

 The next step then was to add it to the layout:

Beautifully delicate. As someone who never buys Prima flowers, because I'd never use them all, this is great for individual LOs! alexa

Beautiful, beautiful flower and it looks so easy to do. I will definitely try this myself.
