Bouquets of {Scrappy} Flowers

I found this tutorial a long time ago, and absolutely LOVED what she did. I finally got around to making my own a couple of weeks ago and although they definitely aren't as fantastic as her's, I'm pretty pleased. 

I have lots of fabric accumulating around here. Did I mention I went to the fabric market AGAIN a couple of weekends ago? I just almost said that I didn't buy anything as I went to help other people, but that's a lie.... I bought some jersey knit that is currently being made into a CUTE dress at the tailor. 

ANYWAY....

Lots of fabric.... so quite a variety of flowers. 

I'll spare the tutorial as I surely couldn't do it as well as she did. 

But after some cutting, ironing, sewing with contrasting thread colors, ruffling, and hot gluing, here they are.... 

She used sticks for stems, but with no yard here I don't really have access to sticks so what did I use!? Colored pencils! 

A couple of months ago, I made these decoupaged jars {that look like my magazine orbs} with magazine scraps and yarn, and they needed to be put to good use, so they are now the vases for my little bouquets of flowers. 

They're now making a lovely centerpiece on the table.... 

with my Magazine Orbs and this runner that I got from someone moving back to America. 

I like my random little eclectic centerpiece. 

Joyfully Fabricated,
