Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Rikka from Ricochet and Away! shares a tutorial showing how to create a stunning layered fabric flower called the Tudor Rose. The pattern and tutorial for the dimensional fabric flower were originally authored by SavvySeams.com, a website that is no longer available. Rikka found the PDF pattern through an archive, and shares a tutorial on her own blow showing how to assemble it. Get the links to the pattern and her tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Thank you so much for the feature! I’m hoping many more people will enjoy this unique pattern.
My mom and I are using the archived pattern to make the purse it features. We’re using gold and cream damask with a red lining. Unfortunately, not all the pictures for making the flower loaded correctly, so this tutorial is awesome! Thank you so much!!!
