1. 

   

   Download and print this pattern . You will have to click on the image to view and print its true size.

2. 

   

   Fold the pieces in the middle and sew. For the oval pieces, fold from the farthest points. Leave a half-inch allowance for turning inside out. After sewing, turn inside out.
   
   it's never a good idea to use a pointed thing for this part. i am using the blunt handle of my machine brush here.

   ready for assembly

4. 

   

   Take your smallest piece and tuck the part that you did not sew into the half circle. Hand sew the bottom straight part (using running stitch) and pull until you have a petal-shaped piece.

   stitches gone a-runnin'

   first petal, yay

7. 

   

   Do not cut the thread. Continue by attaching a button (or bead or anything pretty) to the part of the petal that you gathered.
   
   thank god for crystal buttons

8. 

   

   Now work on your second smallest piece using step 2. Attach this to the other side of the button.

9. 

   

   Follow step 2 when working on your medium pieces. Attach them to the assembled rosette this way:

10. 

    

    You can attach now attach this to a blouse, bag, dress, etc. Or you can attach a pin (secured by a bias tape to hide the gathered areas) under your rosette to make it movable.
    
    it is better to use a matching bias tape for this part. that's why mine looks ugly.

    The photo below was taken the next morning. This shows the true color of the fabric. When I’m taking pics for a tutorial, I kinda don’t care about adjusting the camera’s white balance. Hehe.

sorry for the multiple "post comment" clicks, but I'm just astonished at how you can be the NUMBER ONE PROJECT... and only have two comments [if you count my 3 as one]...

People are weird :D

I just made one of these brooches and it took me 2 hours and ended up umm...demented looking.

I blame that on my own level of expertise though, and not your tutorial!

I'll try making another one soon to see if I can make it good enough to wear out of the house :)
