Here is the Chiffon Carnation Tutorial I promised you!
 |
|
Step 1: Cut a strip of chiffon 3” wide by 75cm length (same
as in the rose tutorial), however don’t trim starting point on an angle.
Instead of folding first 1.5” to start flower, use a basting stitch to gather
up about 2”. Wrap gather into a circle, stitch securely and begin overlaps to
form petal layers.
|
 |
|
Step 2: Work in the round like you did with the rose but
with deeper overlaps than you did with the rose.
|
 |
|
Step 3: Same as with the rose, work the overlaps out,
working base tighter with each round.
|
 |
|
Step 4: In order to get the right shape when finished, draw the fabric together
tightly using your fingers to pinch from the base on the flower down to the
center.
|
 |
|
Step 5: Begin stitching through the body of the flower,
going around and pulling thread tightly as you go in order to create a tightly
gathered flower base.
|
 |
|
Step 6: Once you get this effect flip the flower over, using
very sharp scissors (embroidery scissors work best!) trim the center of the flower to the same level as the outer
“petals”. Using the same technique
as a rag quilt, slash up all layers of chiffon to create the petals!
