• 5.5 x 5.5 white fabric squares
• black fabric

How to Make Flower Pillow Cover

Step 1:

Get the black fabric square and a round plate a few inches smaller than the square. Place the plate upside down on the center of the square and trace it.

Step 2:

Take one of the white squares and fold it in half diagonally. Place in the sewing machine. Sew from one tip to the opposite side, scrunching it up as you go. See the photo below for reference. Repeat with the other white squares.

Step 3:

Sew the first layer of petals on the black fabric square using the drawn line as your guide. Make sure they do not overlap. Sew them in place.

Step 4:

Add the next layer by placing the petals in between the first layer of petals. Place them on the black fabric, not on top of the petals. Sew them in place. The diameter of the circle should get smaller as you add layers. Repeat until the last layer only has 3 petals.

Step 5:

Get some fabric scraps and wrap them with a black fabric scrap. Use a thread to keep it tied. Cut the excess fabric, then hand stitch on the center. It should be big enough to cover the center of the flower.

Step 6:

Cut two pieces of rectangles from the black fabric. The width should be the same as the black square, but the length should be longer since they need to overlap. Fold one of the short edges of the two rectangles twice then sew. Place them on top of the flower, right side together. The sewn edges should be facing the center. Sew on all edges.
