The desire to decorate a room for a special event is a completely natural desire. Any holiday, be it an anniversary, a wedding party, etc., always wants to make it so that they are remembered not only by the owners, but also by the guests. And the refined interior of the hall in this case plays far from the last role. Today, to give a formal appearance to a room, decoration with cloth and flowers is often used, and not only walls are decorated, but also windows, furniture, tents for events on the street. Depending on the theme of the holiday and the chosen design style, a wide variety of types of fabrics and plant motifs are used.
In especially solemn occasions, it is customary to use the services of specialized firms where qualified specialists work. But you can independently decorate a room for holding a festive evening with family or friends. To do this, you will need to acquire some decorating skills and make
flowers from fabric with your own hands. According to the masters, it’s not very difficult to master this process if you are careful, observant and accurate.
Making a flower pattern
For those who know how to sew, the statement that the success of sewing any product depends on the correctness of the pattern will not be news. If desired, you can use ready-made drawings, which are easy to find in special magazines for needlework. Nevertheless, the masters are advised to look at the "works of nature" - living plants.
First you should carefully consider the structure of the bud, then carefully disassemble it into petals. It is the patterns taken from them that will help create the most beautiful flowers from the fabric. It should be noted that nature rarely exactly repeats the shape of a petal. That is why, for greater reliability, it is necessary to remove patterns not from one, but from several.
When disassembling the flower, you also need to pay attention to the order in which the small and large petals are located. If the lines of adjacent objects perfectly coincide, then they can be combined. Such a convention is permissible if we consider that we are working with material completely different, and not with the one that nature uses. It is also not ideal to copy all the bends of the petal lines - nature is characterized by a certain “irregularity” of forms. The main task in the manufacture of patterns - to catch and convey the nature of the fabric bud.
By making flowers from fabric, it is possible to combine small petals of the same shape and size into segments, this will greatly facilitate the work without affecting its result. Before transferring the patterns to the material, the number of identical particles in the bud to be made should be counted and the numbers on each of the blanks made.
Before
stitching flowers from fabric, you should also make a pattern of future leaves. There is no particular difficulty in this - you can simply outline the contours of the plant, very small slots and protrusions can be missed - they will not be visible on the finished product. Having cut out the required number of petals and leaves, you can start assembling.
Fabric flowers. The advantages of self-made patterns
Making blanks for making flowers from fabric on your own is a rather useful exercise. Firstly, it becomes possible to produce unique buds, patterns of which are not found in any books on needlework. Secondly, when they are made independently, useful skills are quickly acquired, a “hand gets full”, an opportunity arises to show your own imagination and experiment. It is also important that in the process of work knowledge is acquired about the structure of the flower and leaves - without understanding this, creating beautiful and unique products is simply impossible.
