Raggy Flowers

Recently, I discovered prodded rag rugs made by Heather at The Patchwork Heart. You have to check out her Cath Kidston inspired rug.

While researching prodded rugs, I found a tutorial for Raggy Flowers

I had to make them. The first one I made was denim. I didn't like how it turned out so I washed it several times, thinking that fraying would improve it. Not so much, huh? So I made a second denim one. Nope I don't like denim ones.

Next, I made one from the same flannel that I made the winter outfits for the girls I like this one much better.

But my favorite is definitely the one made from pink knit.

Isn't it pretty? It is the same fabric as K's leggings. I think I will put it on a headband for her.

I'll be sharing these at:

  1. Those are all pretty cool. I like the second denim (I like the fray and curl of it) one and the pink one the most, I think. Perfect for a headband.

  2. Melissa they are great, lovely to see the t-shirt one. I am going to try using finer strips and hoping for a flat corsage will put buttons in the middle ... keep watching my blog, thanks so much for the link :)
