What is it? - Henry Beecher famously wrote,
"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul
into." Claude Monet felt that he owed his iconic professional
career to flowers. And don't even get started with poets. But how
do we feel about flowers? They're important to us too. We use
them to say I love you, I'm sorry, good luck, congratulations or get
well. And we use them not only to adorn all of the special occasions of
our lives but also to make all of the occasions in our lives special. A
beautiful bouquet of flowers makes a house a home. Flowers are part of
our lives and we love 'em. Wouldn't it be nice if we could make
them? Fashion blossoms from our personal stashes of fabric? Just
think of all of the colors and textures you have in there. Chiffon,
taffeta, netting, batiks, florals, solids, and who knows what else? The
combinations are probably as close to endless as you can get. But is it
difficult to make fat quarters bloom into beautiful bouquets? Could be
but certainly doesn't have to be. Clover's Flower Frill Templates make
it easy. You select the size, color, texture and fullness of your
flowers. Mix and match colors and textures to create your own personal
floral fantasy.
What does it do? -Clover's Flower Frill
Templates allow us to make beautiful flowers one gorgeous petal at a
time. You are free to create with reckless abandon.
Flower sizes - Flower Frill
Templates are available in three packages representing six sizes. Large
and Extra Large at 5 inch and 6 inch finished sizes. Small and Medium
at 3 inch and 4 inch finished sizes. Mini and Extra Small at 2 inch and
2 1/2 inch finished sizes. That size range can accommodate everything
from home decor to jewelry.
  
"Template how to" - Each template is
made of heavy card stock with fold lines marked and numbered. Simply
fold the template around a halved portion of fabric. That's the first
fold. Follow in suit for the second and third folds as marked on the
template. Trim around the template outer edge with shears (or pinking
shears for a unique look) being careful not to cut the template and then
stitch through the point of the fabric with a threaded needle. That's
the first petal. Now just repeat that step until you have enough petals
for the desired fullness. When all the petals are complete just join
the thread ends together and shape by hand. It's that easy.
