Sew Simple Shapes - Another Scrappy Happy Flower Tutorial!!!

Today's tutorial is a few additional scrappy happy flowers for easy appliqué:)

As I've said before... here are 24 different shapes in the BLOOM set and today I'm working with 5 of them. CLICK HERE to get your own set of BLOOM Sew Simple Shapes

Here is the cutting for each shape; A-18 - 2 1/2" square A-19 - 2 1/2" square A-21 - 3 1/2" square A-1 - 2" square A-5 = 2" x 2 1/2" rectangle

You will need to cut a piece of Sew-In Pellon the same size as each fabric piece as well.

Trace around each Sew Simple Shape by placing it in the center of the Pellon. I always use a .05 mechanical pencil for a nice thin accurate line.
Pin to the right side of the fabric.

Stitch directly onto each traced line... securing your stitch when you stop and start.

Trim an approximate 1/4" seam allowance around each piece.

Use a small sharp pair of embroidery scissors and cut an "X" in the Pellon ONLY.

There is one "cleavage" area in the heart Sew Simple Shape that you will need to clip right to the thread... but not into it or past it.
Clipping will allow the heart to lie flat after it's been turned right side out.

I like to use the Clover turning tool to GENTLY push out the corners and curves after turning.
Press each appliqué piece flat from the fabric side.

I think that the oval and the circle look cute "tucked under" these two little flowers... don't you?
The heart is cute on it's own but a small circle tucked under it would be cute as well.

I could go on and on making even more flowers to appliqué from my BLOOM Sew Simple Shapes but I think that I probably already have too many for what I'm making... but it's so hard to stop! They really are fun and addicting:)
My next post I'll do a few more leaves with some of the shapes we haven't played with yet and then for the stems! See you then... xx Lori
