Dresses for my granddaughters. The pattern called for an appliquéd flower, but I thought it would "get lost" on the busy fabric so I made the 3D flower instead. Thanks for looking!

Sure - it's McCall's 5835 and I bought it recently, so it should still be available. It comes in Toddler sizes 1-4. Hugs*

Thanks! You start with a circle of fabric (mine were 3" in diameter), fold it in half and half again, gather the bottom rounded edge, pull tight and tie off - that's one of the petals. Repeat again for the required number of petals - I used 6. Stitch the petals together to one another close to the gathering stitches.The center is a yo-yo made also from a 3" circle. Attach yo-yo to the petal circle.
There are numerous 3d flower tutorials on the web, this method seemed like the easiest (sorry, I thought I had bookmarked the site.... but I didn't. If I find it, I'll post the link.) Hugs*, Deb

Thanks! I had never made one of these, but it was easy peasy and I do think they made the dresses. I'm in the process of making miniature ones for hair clippies...not so easy. LOL!
