weekly craft: poppies

i saw this idea on one of the amazing blogs i follow, grosgrain fabulous. these cute flowers were really easy to make, and if you follow the link you will find step by step instructions, and printable patterns for the flowers.
here are some pictures of the easy steps i followed. as you can see i used three different colors of fabric, and three of the smaller flower patterns since i was making some for a shirt.
i didn't have any old hair spray so i ordered fray stop spray.
this outfit is really cute on...one day i will post a picture.
i like how these flowers turned out so i'm making more in small and large sizes. i also jazzed up some old jeans by cutting off the bottom, then turning them into elastic-hem jeans all inspired by my sister-in-law olivia
the end!

You are just so amazing and talented, Marian! You're a perfect fit in the Koernig sisters... well, maybe you and Lib are the haute style leaders and the rest of us try to keep up (with me, the OLD one in the group really lagging behind). Keep posting all the cute thing you do!
