He he, just whipped this up this evening after a particularly long day at work. I often daydream of what I'm going to make on the sewing machine when I get home.







Okay, enough with all the pics... sorry Tongue

Do you think the flowers look okay with all the frayed edges or does it just look sloppy? Should I use some sort of interfacing on them if I do this project again?

My goodness this is so cute! I love the frayed edges, they add a lot of character to the piece.

I love the colors and the simple shapes -- I also love frayed applique, have done several things like that, and they just get better with age.  I say leave it, and do more like that!  Smiley

This looks really cute!  The frayed edges look cute too.  I'd love to do some of these on a piece of felt for a wall hanging  Cheesy

Love it!

Looks great on you and the colours go really well together - and buttons are always good Smiley

I think the frayed edges suit the material that the flowers have been made out of, so go with it!

I love it, the colours, the buttens, the frayed edges... and I know those daydreams, but my problem is (like the dreams I have at night) I forget about them too quickly Cheesy

Beautiful! I love it Smiley What would you call that? It's not quite a scarf... When it's down it's almost like a cowl-neck sweater without the sweater...??

Lol, I call it a neckwarmer but it could be a "cowl" too. Smiley
