........and I "invented" it! (also made a wheel the other day.... :oops: )
I was looking for a 3D butterfly and could not find one. I hope you like the idea and maybe someone has ideas for improvment. Granny from an ugly flower to an ugly butterfly [ATTACH=CONFIG]81031[/ATTACH] as it was too much 3D to me I made the lower part as applique (part of an butterfly machine embroidery design) and for the body I added a piece of piping [ATTACH=CONFIG]81035[/ATTACH] playing around with 3D blocks I came up with this ugly flower that almost looked like a butterfly [ATTACH=CONFIG]81113[/ATTACH] as it was very late I twisted clouds and upper wings...... [ATTACH=CONFIG]81114[/ATTACH] so this morning I did draw another shape [ATTACH=CONFIG]81115[/ATTACH] made "stencils" of the shape [ATTACH=CONFIG]81116[/ATTACH] put fabric right sides together and sewed with little stitches, then cut the seamallowence [ATTACH=CONFIG]81117[/ATTACH] turned inside out and fixed it with spray to the background fabric [ATTACH=CONFIG]81118[/ATTACH] just try to picture the lower wings a bit further apart, the upper wings a slightly littler...........wouldnt it be a beauty? [ATTACH=CONFIG]81121[/ATTACH] |
that is really neat, thanks for sharing, Love butterflies

Thank you for sharing your idea with us :D:D:D
I can see a lot of different possibilities with this block :D:D:D |
Thanks ! Great Job :thumbup:
|
This is a block with lots of possibilities. By the way, I reinvent the wheel everytime I do anything. Maybe that is why it takes me so long to get anything done.
|
How cute! Won't we have to stitch down the top wings so that when it's washed, doesn't crumble up? This is a wonderful idea, keep creating more !
|
By the way...li like that 1st photo of the flower!

i made 1 with similar concept, with crinkly plastic toy filling between layers of batting a couple months ago, in a quilt ive been working on for a friends baby due in July
butterfly for Cassandra [ATTACH=CONFIG]81330[/ATTACH] |
What a great idea with the crinkly plastic toy filling! Where did you buy that?? As I will not use that particular block I did not sew it down, but I think a similar stitching like on the lower wings would be fine. Maybe also put some thin batting under the applique of the lower wings to make it a bit puffier.
Look forward to more input, thanks so much. Ever thought of a ladybug in 3D? Granny |
Thanks for sharing
