You see, I have been having a grand old time sewing all my fabric and felt scraps into these delightful, scrappy, one of a kind, darling little daisys. You might say I've got a thing for flowers. If you are 9, you might tell me I want to marry them.
My initial intent for these floral goodies was strictly along the clothing accesory line. I originally sewed one onto a shirt for Elle... but lets face it, most of the white shirts in our house could use a good soak in bleach.
Besides, I get bored with clothes pretty quickly and like to mix stuff up ALOT.... that paired with the ridiculous number of tights we've accumulated over the years....I thought it might be fun to be able to switch the flowers out. You know, get more milage out of one shirt.
And so the second flower I made for Elle, I attached velcro to the back of it, and also to a white onesie. But, I soon realized this too limited my options, as the flower could only be used with that one particular shirt....every time. We have 3 gals that I would love to float them between. Can you tell I like options?
So, I've decided to keep them as they are. Just fabric flowers sewn onto felt. They can be pinned to just about anything....shirts, dresses, hats, bags, etc.
I envision selling them in sets of 3 in my etsy shop. Thoughts? Do you too like the idea of being able to switch things up? Any thoughts on other uses for these lovlies? Glued to a card? Sewn on a pillow? What would you pay for a set of 3? Talk amongst....I need to come up with more uses for them, because I am having way too much fun making them!
Happy Friday all.

Headbands!!! Did ya know that big @$$ flower headbands are all the range in the middle school set? My 7th graders would LOVE some of them puppies.
I second the headbands!
They could be cute on winter hats or handbags too! Maybe you and Cara could brainstorm something . . .
I think they would be really cute a pillow...solid color pillow with 3 or 5 flowers sewn on in one of the corners. I wish my house was brighter colors so I could have you make me a couple pillows...
I just saw a really cute blanket throw for a sofa at Pier 1 that had a grouping of 3 flowers like that sewn to a corner. Cute! I think you can sell them in bunches of 3 and then list ideas like sew to shirt, blanket, pillow, attach to headband, purses, etc. Love them!
Too cute! I agree if you could figure out a way to attach them to multiple things and interchange that would be great- what about a button with a buttonhole- then they could attach to shirts, pillows, blankets, etc. or a claw clip that could clip to head bands, hats or just as flower in their hair. I'm sure you will come up with some great way to use these adorable things, Can't wait to see what you end up doing- you really have a gift!
