[Sewing Tutorial] Chiffon Flower

8/19/2013

0 Comments

 
This tutorial is inspired by my best friend Lena who is getting married in August this year.  She is having her bridesmaid dresses made (not by me, thank goodness!) and wanted a special touch by her maid of honor (me!).  She wanted cherry blossom inspired flowers. Enjoy!

Materials

  • 10 x 10 Inch square of chiffon polyester fabric
  • 5-10 Beads
  • Matching Thread

Sewing Supplies

  • Hand sewing needle
  • Pins
  • Candle and matches/lighter
  • Fabric scissors

Step 1

Picture
Cut out 6-8 petals in the same size and shape.

Step 2

Picture
In a well ventilated area light a candle so we can singe the edges of each petal.  Hold the petal ½ inch away from the flame and with a steady motion singe all around the petal.  Not only does this step curl the edges to look like a petal it ensures the chiffon does not fray.

Picture
It is important that you are using polyester chiffon, NOT silk chiffon. Silk will burn the chiffon and smell really horrible.

Step 3

Picture
Arrange the petals like a flower. Pin the middle holding all the petals together.

Step 4

Picture
Starting from the back middle of the flower hand sew bottom to top them back again 3-4 times securing all the petals together. Try to keep all the stitches in the middle.

To finish off the chiffon flower add as many beads as you wish to the middle. This will hide our securing threads. Finish in the back by tying a secure knot. Trim any loose threads and you’re done.

Happy Sewing!
Sheila
