Okay Now let's look at the long skinny flower petals.

Here is the 2 layers of fabric turned face to face and sewn around the edge. I sew off the end and then come back on from the side of the end to get the point.

I folded the edges into the middle and sewn across the end

Turn it right side out. I use a turning tool and gently pull the edges of the fabric down over the tool. I sewed a finishing seam around the edge of the petal.

Here is the petal ready to add to more

Here is two petals together. ( They look like bunny ears!! LOL )

I held the two petals together and where they meet I sewed along that line. At first I sewed up towards the top end and then decided that was too much so ended up ripping it out so I had it sewed only about half way up from the bottom.

Here are three petals sewn together. I almost wished I hadn't had so much fold on the sides at the bottom. They could have been more flat.. You can overlap the petals instead of folding in the bottom edges. They would be more flat that way.
