I am so excited to be part of Indygo Junction’s Book Tour! We all know that embellishments are what take something good and make it something great. This book has 25 DIY fabric flower projects that will give something an extra oomph!
For my stop on the tour, I chose to make the Bias Bloom! A great scrap-busting project.
What I liked best about this flower was how it was constructed. At first when I read it needed lots of interfacing, I sort of wrinkled my nose at it. But wow, once I put everything together like it said, I understood why… this flower is not some flimsy, floppy thing, it is sturdy, holds its shape beautifully, and feels so great. Definitely high-end boutique quality. It is probably 1/8” thick! I loved how the soft fabric yo-yo was in between the sturdy petals and flower for a little extra something.
I do think the petals were my favorite; the book includes a template for the flower and leaves, and they are perfectly shaped to accommodate a clip or pin on the back of the leaf. They thought of everything!
How would you like to win a book plus the yo-yo makers needed to complete this Bias Bloom look? Leave a comment, and if your e-mail is not attached to your comment, you cannot win. So make sure I have a way of contacting you!
