With the onset of spring, nature blooms, and the air is filled with the smell of flowers. And with what plants are the first spring rays of the sun associated? Of course, with tulips - delicate, fragrant, bearing a full palette of rich shades. Unfortunately, fragile buds do not last long, but I would like the flower arrangement to decorate the room all year round. Using the pattern of a tulip from the fabric given in this article, you will learn how to sew an original floral bouquet.
Fabric and Tools for Sewing Flowers
Since the beginning of March, tulips painted in all colors of the rainbow have been on sale. Therefore, for sewing a flower, you can take any cotton or satin fabric in bright and rich colors. The material can be plain or with a fine pattern. Of course, gray and brown colors should be excluded, as the bouquet will turn out gloomy and unattractive, and least of all will remind of the onset of spring.
Since this work involves a flight of fancy, when sewing flowers on a tulip pattern from a fabric, a combination of different material samples in one plant is allowed. Bouquets of pink, white, yellow, lilac, red, green shades look natural. You can use color thin felt. From it, the buds will be soft with a velvet effect.
In addition to the fabric for sewing, you will need a filler that will give the bud a volume. Threads matching fabric colors will also be needed. To sew the stem and leaves, you need to purchase green material. Well, of course, you will need a tulip pattern from the fabric, a sewing machine, a marker, a ruler and scissors.
Making a bud
The base of the flower can be sewn in several versions. For example, not only from two, but also from three and four parts. To do this, you must:
- Transfer the tulip pattern cut from a thick sheet of paper onto the material and cut out the desired number of bud elements from the fabric.
- Leave about 5 mm of allowance at the edges of the part for suturing.
- Cut parts of the flower and dock with the edges facing each other inward, forming a bud.
- Next, stitch the connected sides, leaving the bottom for stuffing, iron the fabric and turn the resulting workpiece.
- Then the bud should be filled with a synthetic winterizer, lay a basting seam along the edge and tighten the part, forming a flower.
Stitching
The length of the twig can be taken arbitrarily, most importantly, observe the proportions. The stem should be at least twice as long as the bud. To sew it, you need a fabric of green shade. Transfer the template to the material and cut, considering the allowances. Fold the workpiece in half along the long side and sew on the typewriter along the edge, also processing the narrow part. The stems of tulips must be firm and stable, as they are held in hands, placed in a vase or decorated with a room. Therefore, a synthetic winterizer or cotton wool is not excluded, but it is more reasonable to use a solid object in the form of a pencil, sticks for sushi, a long skewer, thick wire and other objects that are appropriate in size.
Unscrew the part through the un sewn hole and place the stick in the resulting small case. Fill the voids with holofiber and put the finished bud on the stem. You can use another method in which the selected item is simply pasted over with a green cloth.
Leaf making
In order to make tulips made of fabric more natural, it is necessary to sew them large, characteristic of this flower. Transfer the petal pattern to the same material from which the stem was made, and cut out two details for each leaf of the tulip. Connect the elements with the wrong side facing out and stitch the edges. Then turn out the sheet, iron and, wrapping them in the stem, sew the parts at the base.
From the article, you learned how to sew tulips from fabric. Having created several flowers, you can add a bouquet of them and give them to your beloved mother or close friend.
