Learning how to Sew is easy. But if you are just starting out, it helps to take one step at a time. When I used to see my mum and sisters sewing or was learning how to sew in school what I could associate with it is that learning to sew requires a lot of hard work and patience. Even now, when I flip through sewing magazines and books I wonder, will an amateur who reads that actually learn to sew or get deterred by it and pass it on to something mundane but convenient from the stores.
After all for someone just learning how to sew, buying from the stores would be easy wouldn't it? . But again if we are beginners, just like any other skill, learning to sew requires some practice and if you do small projects with fabrics found at home and sew your own pieces you will be more confident to take on bigger challenges. When you sew your own ribbon headbands and make fabric flowers you are doing just that - taking baby steps towards your ultimate goal to sew and be unique and most importantly instant self gratification when you sew what you have created is in your hands in minutes. well that's a great reason to
Head Boards
I am glad to share this project of making flower out of ribbons for your ribbon heads bands. You can even teach small children especially if you want to keep them occupied in summer or if you need many of these flowers for a special home or fabric décor. It is an easy way of making fabric flowers for your headband or for your fabric pouch or your sash. You just need to know how to use a needle and thread. I had made these for the flower gals' baskets for my wedding day.
Materials:
Instructions:
1. Begin with Sewing running stitches along one edge of the ribbon
2. When you reach the other end don't remove the needle
3. Pull the thread from the finished end slowly to make a gather
4. Pull the thread taut until the ribbon forms into a circle
5. Stitch both the ends together and adjust the petals from front side facing
6. Tie a knot at the wrong side and Cut the thread.
7. Stitch a button to decorate it further if you desire.
8. You can use this ribbon to decorate your plain headband or your gift wrap or your sash.
