Texturize

I can't wait for some free time. Then I shall make some yo-yo's. No, not the toy, but the kitchy little puff of fabric! Google them. I'd love to decorate a dress with these. When it comes to clothes, I've got a weak spot for texture.

I'd also like to make some of these surprisingly easy but beautiful fabric flowers:

First you burn the edges of synthetic fabric circles. They curl.

You have a plethora of pretty petals!

Sew concentric circles together w/ contrast color thread, decorative stitches, or even beads/sequins.

This awesome tutorial is by no means my creation, but found here: http://jo2308.typepad.com/blissedoutknitting/2008/07/hand-made-flowe.html Anybody want to try these with me? We could go thrift store shopping beforehand for manmade fabrics. I guarantee these would spruce up an otherwise plain dress.

And dress shopping this weekend, maybe?
