Nhi from The Houndstooth Detective shows how to make this beautiful circle flower scarf. Each flower on the scarf is made from 8 circles stitched together, with the overlapping curved edges making the petals of the flowers. Make it from fleece or wool felt. You could also use one of the stitched flowers as an embellishment on a throw pillow. Go to The Houndstooth Detective to get the tutorial.

I just discovered your site and I will certainly visiting on a regular basis. I am new to sewing. I recently bought my own sewing machine and is excited to know I can stitch my own bedroom, and living room curtains. I plan to make a bedskirt for the Christmas.
I like your flower scarf. I try to access the tutorial but unable to do so.
Thanks
