Baby shower present for the mum to be- fabric corsage

In helping to plan a crafty baby shower for my lovely friend, I came across a beautiful fabric flower corsage from Michele from The Scrap Shoppe. I thought it would be such a nice idea to make something special for the mum-to-be as most presents bought for a baby shower go straight to the new bub!

Here is a picture of Michele's beautiful fabric corsage:



I love the colours and the rolled roses and since I am using blues, yellows and whites in the theme I thought I would try to make my own version after being inspired by Michele's version.
Here are some dodgy pictures of the finished product taken with my phone camera (as I am too impatient to wait for my husband to take a good one!)


  
I am really happy with how it turned out and it was fun to make. I want one for me now too!

To make this fabric flower corsage, I first made a cuff for the base using what looked like doily ribbon, some satin and some felt and closed it with a pretty snap. Then I made some fabric flowers using this fabric flower tutorial for the big blue flower, this fabric flower tutorial for the burnt edged white one and a rolled rose tutorial for the yellow one. Then I just stitched them into place. Done!

I hope she likes her little present. I'll be sure to try and get a picture of her wearing it on the day!

What do you think?
