Fabric Rosette
Materials:
- Fabric Strip (4 inches x 24 inches)
- Matching thread
- Hand sewing needle
Step 1: Cut your strip of fabric. You can make it any size you like really. I used a 4" x 24" strip which made rosette with a 5 inch diameter.
Step 2: Fold your strip in half lengthwise. I folded so that wrong sides were facing, but this will give a a raw edge. For a cleaner look, fold so that right sides together and turn right side out after gathering. Sew along the edge with a basting stitch. Now you should have a long tube.

Pull the gathers along the length. Try to keep them even. Keep going until your strip is about have the size as the original length. In my case, 12".
Step 5: Stitch along your original seam to hold the gathers in place.
Last Step: Roll your fabric around itself to create the flower. A tighter roll will make a smaller flower; looser rolls make larger flowers. Hand sew the raw edges to hold them in place.
