Fabric Flowers

I found a new fun way to make fabric flowers. They are SO easy it's not even funny!! I've also heard them called yo-yos. These are so flouncy and fun! Here's how you make them:



  • Start with a circle double the size you want the finished flower to be.
  • Use the basting stitch or a needle and thread to go all the way around.
  • Pull the thread as tight as it will go and flatten the flower.
  • Take a few stitches across the center to lock it shut, and tie it off.
  • Add to any tee shirt, scarf, or headband.
I made a bunch of these for a dance class to go with coordinating shorts and tops. Fun huh!!
