Sewing through Sunflowers: 6 DIY Sunflowers

August 20, 2014 by Seams and Scissors 1 Comment

Waistband Bow SkirtA gentle breeze kisses you while you walk, barefooted, through a green meadow. The temperatures are in the high seventies. On a bright day like today it’s easy for you to spot the awesomely massive sunflowers ahead. Their gold petals compliment the bursting sun above you and upon approach you welcome a feeling of overwhelming contentment.

Sadly, days like this are few and far between. Most of the time you only capture a taste of a beautiful day from some fleeting photo on Pinterest; your stolen 5 minute break at work adding more anxiety to your day rather than rehabilitation. Yes, strolling through sunflowers may not always be possible, but sewing them is. All it takes is a tutorial, some material, and the will to create and have fun. Do you have it in you?
