Magenta And Burgundy Flowers

These are some new fabric flowers I've been working on lately.

They're really a version of this flower but much smaller in scale and I've been trying to make them closed tighter, more like a bud than a fully open flower.

The fabric is new and I adore it! Not only is it in two shades of purple, magenta and burgundy, but it also singes like a dream and makes wonderful petals which in turn can make all sorts of wonderful flowers.

I made these into men's boutonnieres but I'm sure they will also make the cutest floral bobby pins.

And a brooch for the lapel of my winter coat....
