Customer Reviews

Just what I was looking for!

I was very happy to have found and received this book. Easy to understand directions, nice illustrations, and nicely written. If you like to wear flowers, I highly recommend this book.

A Useful Book - I've enjoyed owning it

I own about every how to textile book in print; so I really do know a good craft book when I see one. This is a good one. The directions are clear and easy to follow, the examples are good, and there are plenty of variations offered for each method. I would certainly highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to make fabric flowers to use on garments, journal covers, collages, gift boxes, and a myriad of other possibilities. I checked it out of the library before buying it and ordered it as soon as I had read it, as it's one I know I'll use over time.

A Flower for Every Occasion

This is a book filled with really simple fabric flowers. When it arrived my craft group each chose a design and we made them at the next meeting. The directions are easy to follow and the range of designs from small pieces of fabric is very appealing. A different flower to dress up every garment is very achievable.

WOW! Wonderful book !!!

This is exactly the type of book I've been looking for !!! Thank you Elizabeth Searle for writing it and designing all of these ***fantastic*** flowers. The directions look to be very informative and easy to follow. What an awesome assortment to choose from. I AM SO EXCITED !! I just received it today and can hardly wait to begin making some myself. The only problem I foresee is choosing which design to make first !! Got to go ! I can hear the fabric calling me !!! THANKS AGAIN !! PS: BUY THIS BOOK NOW !!!

Awesome assortment of Fabric Flowers!

This book is all it promises to be! There is a huge assortment of flowers, lots of different fabrics used, and excellent, step-by-step instructions for each. Plus basic "getting started" instructions that apply pretty much to each type of flower! Excellent book, and worth every penny!
