Fashionable fabric flowers seem to be blooming everywhere these days, creating stylish accents on bags, belts, hats, jackets...any item of clothing imaginable. They're easy to cultivate, with this hip little guide on making a bouquet of eye-catching versions in any colour and fabric. Most don't even require machine stitching; just a little folding, gathering, and hand sewing, all explained in a handy introductory section. The projects range from refined to funky, and include a blossom in luxurious burgundy silk; loopy flowers with bias-covered cording and centers made of coiled zippers, and pretty roses and daffodils.

Fabulous Flowers
This is an excellent craft book. If you'd like to learn how to make fabric flowers then look no further: this book does exactly what it says on the tin!
There's a really diverse range of patterns within these pages. The basic instructions are clear and very easy to follow. The book demands no greater sewing skills than a simple running stitch and so great results can be achieved with little experience. But the scope for personal interpretation and expression is endless. Get this book and after trying one or two of the designs I guarantee you'll be hooked!

Anyone can do it
An attractive book with simple, short and easy to follow instructions embellished with lovely pictures - showing anyone can do it! It gives you good basic knowledge of how to produce several different types of professional looking flowers but also shows you how to change the look and inspires you to be experimental. Really good value for money.

FUN TO WEAR FABRIC FLOWERS
Quite a good book if you are a beginner. Ideas are simple and cute. However ideas are not exciting enough for an advanced creative person. All together a good book to start you off.
