As I promised in my last posting, here I bring the tutorial showing you how to
make these fabric flowers, as I did for my necklace.
I made them, recycling one t-shirt I had in my pile of clothes to recycle, I
found that the jersey fabric gives a nice effect to the flower, now we have to
try to make them with other fabrics.
Let's start with the tutorial.
make these fabric flowers, as I did for my necklace.
I made them, recycling one t-shirt I had in my pile of clothes to recycle, I
found that the jersey fabric gives a nice effect to the flower, now we have to
try to make them with other fabrics.
Let's start with the tutorial.
Como Les he prometido en mi ultima publicación, aquí les traigo el tutorial
mostrando a ustedes cómo hacer estas flores en tela, como la que hice para mi
collar.
Yo las hice, reciclando un t-shirt que tenía en mi pila de ropa a reciclar,
encontré que la tela de jersey le da un lindo efecto a esta flor, ahora nos
queda intentar de hacerlas con otras telas.
Bueno, aquí va el tutorial.
Cut a strip of fabric 1.5 inches wide from the bottom of the t-shirt.
Cortar una franja de tela de 1.5 pulgadas de ancho de la parte de abajo del t-
shirt.
I folded it in half, and made a straight seam.
The important thing for me is to keep the same width between the place where is
the fold of the fabric, and where I do the stitching line. To achieve this I put
attention to the left side of the fabric. The left side of the fabric is always
at the same height as the left side of the foot.
I'll adjust the needle position to the right. If you do not have the ability to
move the needle to the right, you can move the fabric strip to the left, so you
get 1 inch or 3/8 inch between the edge and the seam line.
La doblé al medio y hice una costura en línea recta todo a lo largo de la
banda.
Lo importante para mí, es guardar el mismo ancho entre el lugar donde se
encuentra el doblez de la tela y el lugar donde hago la costura. Para lograr
ello pongo atención a que el lado izquierdo de la tela se encuentre siempre a
la misma altura que el lado izquierdo del pie de la máquina de coser. De esa
manera tendré el mismo ancho todo a lo largo de la banda de tela. Ajusto la
posición de la aguja hacia la derecha. Si usted no tienen la posibilidad de
desplazar la aguja de su máquina de coser hacia la derecha, usted puede mover
la banda de tela hacia la izquierda, de manera a obtener 1 cm, o 3/8 de
pulgadas entre el borde y la línea de costura.
Then we need a pair of scissors.
Luego necesitamos un par de tijeras.
We're going to cut along the edge, making a fringed strip like this. According
to the distance at which you cut the fringes, will give different look to the flower.
Nosotros vamos a cortar a lo largo del borde, haciendo como una franja con
flecos, como ven en esta foto. Según la distancia a la cual ustedes cortan los
flecos, le dará una apariencia distinta a la flor.
At this moment we need to cut a circle of cloth, on which we will paste, our
band fabric, I use a piece of denim. My circle is almost 2 inches (is 5 cm) in
diameter, you will choose the measure that best suit you, according to your
project.
Luego necesitamos cortar un círculo de tela, sobre la cual pegaremos, nuestra
banda de tela, yo use un pedazo de tela de jeans. Mi círculo mide casi 2
pulgadas (son 5 cm) de diámetro, usted elegirá la medida que más le
conviene, según su proyecto.

Now, begin to glue the strip of fabric along the edge of the circle here I put
some pictures. I using a hot glue gun to do this.
Ahora, empezamos a pegar la franja de tela siguiendo el borde del círculo aquí
les pongo unas fotos. Yo lo pegué usando una pistola de silicona caliente.

Last detail, add a decorative element in the center, in my case I added a
button.
Ultimo detalle, agregar un elemento decorativo en el centro, en mi caso le

Marisa what great flowers! Those would look wonderful on so many things. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for the tutorial Marisa.
I'm looking forward to making some of these.
I love your beautiful creations Marisa! Your tutorial looks fabulous. I've had my brand new gently used sewing machine, but for the life of me, I don't know what I'm doing! I bought it over 10 years ago, and used it maybe three times! One of these fine sweet days, I'll get the nerve to plug my baby in and just let my muse take over.
Thanks for having me!

Hi Marisa,
I love this tutorial (big fan of recycle) and thank you for posting it in Ah Mes Chapeaux! community. The flowers are great for hats and hat-makers.

Beautiful flowers Marissa!!! And just thought I'd let you know you've slipped back to a no-reply blogger again. I had too and have just changed my profile once more! It seems to be happening more and more often now!! So frustrating!!
Good Morning Marisa, I love the flowers you have made and I really love (on your previous posts) how you attached them to a necklace.
Thank you so much for such a fabulous tutorial as it is such a lovely way to use tee shirts which are not worn anymore. You are such a talented lady Marisa and I always love visiting your blog.
Best Wishes
Daphne
