Today we were to be inspired by some wonderful Freshcut Textile patterns.
You can see the one I chose to be inspired by here: http://freespiritfabric.com/core-pag...141&sw_id=1101
I used a fun dress pattern from my new Origami book - Minigami by Gay Merrill Gross published by Firefly Books 2005 that I purchased at Borders Books.
I had some origami paper that was close in color and had flowers on it so used that for the dress. I cuttled the bg panel with a floral folder.
I added primas and a flower brad to the corner. The ovals are cut with nestabilities. The oval and sentiment are attached with dimensionals.
These were absolutely wonderful fabric designs to be inspired by - great challenge Stef!
