Just as I promised, I am going to show you how I made some flowers from the top portion of the dress. The top part had lining (it was also gauze) that is a very pretty light blue. When I separated them, I thought to myself, "I have to use this too! :)"
{You will need}
Light weight fabric

{How to}
1. I cut out 8- 2 1/2" squares from each color.
2. Fold a square in half, then fold it again to make a smaller square.
3. Cut the outer edges(not the folded edges). It will almost look like a heart shape.
When you open it up... it will look like this. Repeat the process for the rest of the squares.
4. Pinch in the middle and stitch 2-3 times. Keep adding the rest of the pieces to it.
5. Then you will have a flower like these...
For the floral print flower, after you fold the squares into fourths, cut opposite corners to make it look like a leaf. When you unfold it, it will look like a four leaf clover with pointed leaves. (Sorry, I didn't take a picture of that.)
I loved the frayed look. I am very curious about using different types of fabric; I wonder how the flowers will turn out. I haven't decided what I am going to do with them, but I have a weekend to think about it.
Meanwhile I made this too... all I can say is you can never have too many flowers.
