easy felt rose tutorial
1. Here is the basic pattern. Circle, Fold in half, point A goes to point D, point B goes to point C. Stitch in place.
2. Start out by making a knot at the end of your thread. Pull the needle and thread through the center point of the fabric towards the back.
3. Fold the circle in half, covering up your knot.
4. Imagine your half-circle in thirds and fold as shown-
5. Your half circle is folded into thirds-
6. Now to stitch it into place. Slip your needle and thread up the inside of the outer petal-
7. Stitch back into the fabric at the tip of the outer point. Slide your needle and thread back down to the bottom- you’ve done one stitch.
8. Now slide your needle up into the center of your rose.
9. Bring your thread around and stitch back down into the center. This will catch the inner fold and pull it down into the center.
10. Ta- da!
11. Take a stitch or two in the bottom to anchor everything.
12. You can add a leaf or two and then sew it where ever it needs to be!

It’s wonderful to see your hands. I can’t quite describe it in a way that will make sense, but your kindness and love (particularly for doll making) is visible in your hands. I hope that doesn’t sound strange since I do mean it in a sincere way.

[…] If you are interested in Slow cloth and the cultural aspects of textiles Lainie of Red Thread Studio pointed to some podcasts over on the Maiwa site. I have not listened to them all but I did delve into the excerpts from Kismet, Ajrakh and he Fish of Knowledge which was recorded at the Maiwa Symposium in October last year. Mimi Kirchner, of Doll has written a great tutorial on a dainty little felt rose […]

I am so crazy about your nature lady. She is so beautiful and unique. Her wings are a stroke of genius. The felt flowers are lovely as well. Stopping by here is such a wonderful treat!
Happy weekend!
