Fabric Flowers Created By The Crafting Challenged

Ever since I got engaged, I’ve been reading bridal blogs like I’m studying for a PHD in Bride-ology. And ever since I started reading them, I’ve been completely obsessed with hand-made fabric flowers. So, of course, I’m going to incorporate them into my wedding plans.

Few problems with that idea.

I’m not all that crafty. I’m super-creative, but in the “master-plan-idea” way. Execution isn’t always my strong point. Coming up with a vision, having someone else execute it and managing them is.

I’m talking about a serious amount of these little babies. On top of other crafty projects I probably have no business doing.

I have very limited sewing abilities. My mom actually sewed my final home-ec project for me in 8th grade because I suck so bad. (Jennifer Cook, please don’t tell your mom! I don’t want to have to repeat 8th grade because my superfly pink and purple plaid pillow was actually a Sandra Lastrapes creation.)
Did I tell y’all I suck at execution? Because I so do.

Luckily for me, my mom can both sew and is super crafty. So a few Saturdays ago we sat down and tried some out. Surprisingly, I can actually execute these! I’m not completely craft challenged after all! *Cue angels singing*

Here’s a few that we did. Some are made from scrap fabric, some from actual ones we’ll be using at the wedding. I love how they came out and can’t wait to see them all finished in their rightful projects!
