I have intended to make fabric roses from cotton, linen, and silk for a long time. I just never got around to it. But this weekend I made up several sample roses from woven cotton for a custom order request. They are very different than the polyester roses, but they are still pretty. Some have folded edges, and some have rolled hems from the serger. Too many ideas in my head, so I’ll just show the picture and go back to drinking my coffee.

You made these? Very pretty!
I just bought some t-shirts and am thinking of embellishing them Anthropologie-style. Thanks for the idea!

Charissa, the T-shirt style roses are even easier since stretch jersey doesn’t unravel. I would suggest making them similar to the polyester rose technique, but don’t burn the edges. You’ll get a realistic looking rose out of the t-shirt material that way. I need to post some photos as an example of t-shirt roses, it’s on my to-do list.
