Fabric Flowers, pg 36

There are over 70 projects in the May 2014 issue of Martha Stewart Living, and some I'm more enthusiastic about than others. The fabric flowers project is the one that I'm definitely the least excited about. If I were ambitious about making more than one flower, or had any place to put them, I wouldn't be putting this project off like I felt like doing. I figured I should bite the bullet and get it over with for the sake of completing the project.

This project wasn't without hurdles. There aren't any fabric stores in my neighborhood, so I used a pair of grass stained cotton pants that my daughter spent too many days at the playground in.

This was my first opportunity to use our new printer, to print the pansy template.

Since I didn't have a long piece of fabric, I had to cut 4 and sew those together.

It actually came out cute, and not as dingy as the pants were, but I still have no idea what to do with it. I think I'm going to use it as a gift-topper.
