Fabric flowers are fun to make, a great way to use scraps, easily dress up an outfit, and are terrific gifts. How to get started?
Paganoonoo has a set of illustrated instructions that walk you through every step. You will learn about sizing, fabrics, construction techniques and more.
This example uses shirting fabric from a man's shirt (perfect way to use leftovers from making Paganoonoo garments) and cashmere salvaged from a moth eaten sweater:

One option for a flower center is a faux seed head.
In this case cashmere was selected in a matching color. Other options include a carnation like center and one that looks more like stamens.
Once attached the flower is complete:
In this example quilting cotton was used and the seed head fabric is left over from a dress shirt:
Below: In the top example the center is carnation-like.
The one on the bottom is more like a stamen type.The one on the left is a variation using pinked felted wool circles in the center.
