handmade holidays- flower monsters

2009 October 14

This colorful and very soft corduroy fabric is part of a work in progress for the holidays. As soon as I saw the bright and colorful flowers, I knew it could be used to make something really fun for the little ladies.

As I continued to stare at it, I started seeing bright colored monsters with big, bright, flowery eyes made of felt!

Perhaps, the flower monsters will look something like these-

      I’ve got to post pictures of a quilt I got from a family member recently with that type of fabric – though not nearly so beautifully bright. It is gorgeous.

      What lovely fabric. Is it difficult to sew through corduroy? I’m new to sewing and trying to figure it all out. How do you pick such great fabric and do you go often to the fabric store?
