Preoccupied With Flower Brooches

When I found out I was pregnant a little over a year ago, I was CONVINCED it was a baby girl. No doubt in my mind. I started looking for tutorials on-line to make those cute flower headbands that look so adorable on baby girls. I found a LOT of tutorials for various fabric flowers. Then it all came crashing down when I found out I was preggo with a BOY!
But the bug was planted, and I've still had to click over every time I come across a tutorial for a fabric flower. Because now I really want to make flower brooches. I think the right flower brooch could make a bland outfit pop or pull a slightly eccentric outfit together. I think a fabric flower brooch in every color and combination of colors MIGHT help make my life more complete. So on Sunday, of course I noticed that one of the contestants of HGTV's DesignStar wore a flower brooch in every scene. And I loved them. So here, in no particular order, are some of the fabric flower tutorials I've come across in the last year. One day when I finally find the time to MAKE one, I'll share that...
