  • How to sew a fabric flower brooches. Diy: Rosette And Lace   Refashioned Tee - Step 1
    Step 1

    NOTE: You may want to practice the steps and see if you like how your rosette looks before attempting to sew it into position.

    1. Cut the bottom of your tee (the hem) to yield a 36cm strip. You can use a longer strip to make a bigger flower or a shorter one to make a smaller flower.
