How to make a fabric flower

A fan on facebook asked me how she could make this brooch and I thought I’d post a simple tutorial so that you can use up your fabric scraps in a eco-fashionable way. I saw some beautiful flower brooches, hair clips, headbands and fabric necklaces on Etsy and I, too, wondered how to make these flowers.
