I am so very late on my May Sewing Swap over at Craftmad. Yes, MAY!! it should have been at my partners by now. We had to make two handmade fabric flowers. Well I have one done and another to do today.
This flower I made using some purple satin with a Snoopy print.
I followed the tutorial that I found here at Diamonds, Fur and Laundry.
I found it surprisingly satisfying sitting there burning the edges of the material.
Probably not a great project to do when the kids are around as they may get ideas.
The only downside was that after burning all the layers I ended up with a yellow glow in my eyes from staring at the flame for so long. lol
My flower has nine (9) layers.
An update on what is happening over at Craftmad.
The wonderful Kaye has posted two new sketches to challenge us.....one for cards and one for a scrap page. Kaye has even posted her version of what to do with the sketches.
The groups are open now for members to add there name to be part of the sewing swap and the card swap for June.
Sewing Swap is one Fabric Card

Love the flower! Been wanting to try that technique...will have to remember to look away from the flame...AND try not to burn myself at the same time! Could be challenging! LOL!
