They can be created from just a handful of sewing essentials which makes them ideal for revamping your wardrobe on a budget as well as creating gifts for fellow fashionistas. Don't forget to select tones that complement each other rather than clash for the best effect.
Make a Rosette
Measure the diameter of the smaller flower shape on the BigShot Die, then cut scraps of taffeta material into squares that are 1cm larger than this. Stack eight of these pre-cut fabric squares together and position over the smaller flower shape.
Sandwich the die and fabric between a pair of cutting plates and run through the BigShot machine to cut out the motifs. Repeat this process until you have a 16 separate flower shapes in total.
Take the first cut shape and sew small running stitch along the inside curve of the flower. Gather up the running stitch and loosely curl the flower into a tube to make the centre of the bloom.
Secure with a few hand stitches, leaving the needle and thread attached. Take the next cut shape and sew running stitch around the centre curve as before. Push the fabric up to the flower centre, arranging the gathers around it, then stitch in place. Fold the third cut shape into four and stitch to the base to the centre core that is forming.
