Sew close to the edge on one side, stopping in the spot where you want to add smaller ribbon {1/8″ wide} for the leaves. Take a small length of ribbon and make a loop. Tuck it under the ‘stem’ and keep sewing, being sure to catch the ‘leaf’ ribbon in the stitches. Do the same with the other side of the ‘stem’
Place your fabric flower {either handmade or store bought} at the top of the ‘stem’, making sure to cover the raw edge at the top. Place a button in the center of the flower and sew it on by hand. I used a contrasting hot pink thread for this. Next, using a less noticeable white thread, secure the flower by sewing between the petals, so that the stitches won’t be seen. A simple straight or back stitch will do.
And there you have it. A cute Flower Tank Dress for your little one.
