Cutting Instructions: Green Yellow Orange Pink Print Yellow Print Blue Print Multi Print Blue Purple Stems & Leaves Fold one 1 1/2 x 42 green strip in half lengthwise, right sides together. Using a 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Cut three 1 1/2" x 42" strips for the six stems. See instructions to cut the leaves. See instructions to cut the daisy petals See instructions to cut the daisy centers See instructions to cut the daisy petals See instructions to cut the daisy centers See instructions to cut the poppy centers See instructions to cut the poppy See instructions to cut the poppy See instructions to cut the poppy centers Cut one 6" x 42" strip for one rose Cut one 6" x 42" strip for one rose 1/4 seam allowance, sew down one long side of the folded fabric (Fig. 1). Repeat with the remaining two 1 1/2 x 42 strips. Turn the three sewn strips right side out. Cut the strips in half to make six stems. Turn under one short end on each stem a 1/4 and then a second 1/4 to make a closed finished edge. Top stitch the folded end close (Fig. 2). Repeat with one end of each of the remaining stems. Slide one 1/8 dowel into each stem and close the other end of the stem. Turn under the open short end on each stem a 1/4 and then a second 1/4 to make a closed finished edge (Fig. 3). Top stitch the end close careful not to stitch over the wood dowel. This will create a scunchy fabric stem. Cut out the leaf template from the pattern. Fold the remaining green fabric in half, right sides together and press. Trace twelve leaves onto the top layer of green fabric with a fabric pencil. Cut out each leaf template from the two layers of green fabric. Sew around each leaf pair, leaving an opening for turning (Fig. 4). Turn each sewn leaf right side out and topstitch the opening close to make twelve leaves. Press. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Leave open for turning Page 2
Assembly Instructions Daisy 6. 7. 8. Cut out the daisy petal and daisy center templates from the pattern. Fold the yellow fabric in half, right sides together and press. Place the folded fabric on top of a piece of batting and pin the folded fabric and batting together. Trace the eight daisy petals and two flower centers onto the fabric side of the folded fabric/batting sandwich using the petal template and fabric pencil. Place a pin through the folded fabric and batting in the middle of each drawn petal or flower center. 9. 10. Cut out each flower petal sandwich and flower center sandwich. Stitch around each petal sandwich, sewing together the two layers of fabric and batting. Leaving the bottom of the petal open (Fig. 5). Clip the curved edges around each petal. Turn each petal right side out through the opening at the bottom and press. Repeat with the remaining petals. 11. Stitch all the way around the flower center. Clip the curved edges of the flower center. Make a small slit in the top layer fabric to turn the flower center right side out (Fig. 2). (The slit side will be glued to the petals and will not show in the finished flower.) Repeat with the flower center. Fig. 5 12. 13. 14. 15. Repeat Steps 2-6 with the orange fabric to make eight more daisy petals and two flower center. Arrange seven yellow petals on top of a work surface (Fig. 7). Once you have the petals the way you like them, apply glue to one orange flower center on the slit side and press down onto the center of the petals (Fig. 8). Let the glue dry. Carefully pick up the orange center with the petals glued to it and flip it over so the glued orange center is on the bottom. Position a stem from Step 3 on the flower and glue in place (Fig. 9). Glue the remaining orange center on top of the petals and stem (Fig. 10). Glue two leaves to the stem to complete the daisy. Repeat Steps 13-15 to make a orange daisy with a yellow center.

Assembly Instructions Cut out the poppy and poppy center templates from the pattern. 19. 20. 21. Poppy 16. 17. 18. Stitch all the way around each poppy petal circle and each poppy center circle (Fig. 11). Clip the curved edges of the each circle. Fold each poppy petal circle in half and press to make a creased center line. Cut each circle in half following the creased center line to make six poppy petals (Fig. 12). (You will only need five petals.) Repeat with the three poppy center circles to make six poppy center petals (Fig. 13). (You will only need five petals.) Turn all the poppy petals and poppy center petals right side out and press. Using a needle and a running stitch, sew across the straight edge of the petal going through both layers of fabric (Fig. 14). Carefully pull the stitches tight gathering the fabric on the thread to form the first petal (Fig. 15). DO NOT CUT THREAD. Fold the blue print fabric in half, right sides together and press. Trace the three poppy circles using the poppy template and fabric pencil. Place a pin through the folded fabric in the middle of each drawn poppy through both layers of fabric. Cut out each poppy circle on the drawn lines. Repeat Step 17 with the poppy center template and pink fabric to make three poppy center circle. Fig.11 Fig.12 Fig.13 22. Once the first petal is strung on the thread, add the next petal. Repeat until all five poppy petals are strung onto the thread and gathered. Tighten the thread and arrange the petals in a circle. Once you are happy with the flower shape, tie off the thread to complete the poppy flower (Fig. 16). Fig.14 23. 24. 25. Repeat Steps 21 and 22 with the five poppy center petals to make one poppy center flower (Fig. 17). Glue one 2 button to the center of the poppy flower to cover the hole in the center of the poppy (Fig. 18). Flip the poppy over so the button is on the bottom of the Fig.15 poppy flower. Position and glue one stem to the poppy flower (Fig. 19). Glue the poppy center flower on top of the stem (Fig. 20). Glue one 1 button to the center of the poppy center flower to cover the hole at the center of the flower center (Fig. 21). Glue two leaves to the stem of the flower. Repeat Steps 17-26 using the yellow print for the poppy flower and multi print for the poppy center flower to make a second poppy flower. Fig.19 Fig. 20 Fig. 21 Fig.16 Fig. 17 Fig.18 Page 4

Rose 26. 27. 28. allowance, sew down one long side of the folded fabric (Fig. 22). Turn the sewn strip right side out. Turn under one short end on each stem a 1/4 and then a second 1/4 to make a closed finished edge. Top stitch the folded end close (Fig. 23). Repeat with the other end of the strip. Take one stem and glue it to one end of the blue strip (Fig. 24). Roll the blue strip around the stem one time and glue in place at the bottom of the strip to make the rose center. Twist the blue strip to create the first round of petals (Fig. 25). Glue the strip to the center every few inches to hold the petal in place. Twist the fabric again to make the next run of petals. Glue the strip in place every few inches to hold the fabric in place. Continue the process until you are at the end of the strip. Glue the end of the strip to the bottom of the rose.
