Tutorial: Shirred fabric flowers from your knit scraps

July 13, 2012 by Anne Weaver

I have a bucket full of scraps of knit fabric left over from refashion projects.  I can’t bear to throw them away, but I haven’t yet found a good use for the smallish pieces of fabric.  That is, until I saw this tutorial by Ashley from Make It and Love It.  She shows how to turn them into gorgeous fabric flowers using elastic thread shirring.  Genius!!  Get the tute.

Sewing Pattern – Paper Bag Pants Pattern

The paper bag pants pattern is a favorite of casual chic dressers. It is a super easy project perfect for sewing over the weekend. If you pair it with a cardigan and booties, vans shoes or sandals it is sure to become your favorite outfit when you are hoping to look cool but not overdressed.

Two pockets in the front will ensure you can carry a few things like your phone and wallet.

The elastic waistband gives you room for a curvy bum or gives shape to a flat one. Two pockets in the front and a belted waistband to tie your pants around your waist, tapered legs that fall just above your ankles round up this very comfortable design.
