Sew-a-Long: Poinsettia

12/1/2013

0 Comments

 
This tutorial is inspired by my client Connie who made a traditional stocking for her grand daughter. We created beautiful felt poinsettia's to  be hand sewn onto the front of a stocking. 

Now, I will admit I had no clue what a poinsettia was, but they are big during the holiday season. I was so inspired, that I started to think where else could these fabric poinsettia's be placed. Thought of decoration around the house, tree ornaments, brooches and even extra décor on gifts.

Materials

  • Pattern (See step 1)
  • Felt. I picked up 8.5 x 11" sheets of glitter felt from Fabricland
  • Matching thread
  • Beads
  • Brooch back if you wish to make the poinsettia into a brooch. Ribbon if you wish to make the poinsettia into an ornament.
  • Hand sewing needle

Step 1

How to Sew a Poinsettia Tutorial
Create a pattern or download free patterns online. I found mine HERE on First Palette.

Cut out your paper pattern.

Step 2

Pin and cut out your poinsettia felt layers.

Step 3

Position 3 layers of felt to create a flower, and pin in place.

Step 4

Thread up a hand sewing needle. 

Prior to sewing beads, secure the 3 layers of your flower with a few stitches going top to bottom in the center 3-4 times.

Sew as many beads as you like, keeping beads centered in the poinsettia. Finish and tie a knot in the back.

Step 5

Now you can decide how you will use your poinsettia. Hand sew a ribbon to the back if you are making it into a decoration.

I'm making my poinsettia into a brooch. First hand sew the brooch back to the back of flower. Next, cut out a small piece of felt and hand sew felt down around the circle.

Happy Sewing!
