I do love flowers, and cone flowers are one of my favorites. I have had this magazine page pinned to my bulletin board for some time now, and this was my inspiration for this new pattern.
Who would have thought that FLEECE would be a great medium for making flowers? Well, it is!
Just in time for MOTHER’S DAY,
these flowers are so quick and easy to make you can have a bouquet made up in no time at all.

Stretch the petals. This will make them curl up slightly. |
![]() |
Do this to all 8 petals. (The top of the petal will be curled up edge). |
![]() |
Double thread your needle with a knot at the end. With the curled edges up, fold the petal in half lengthwise, and stitch to secure in place. |
![]() |
Join two petals together, with the tops facing up (curled edge). Alternate colors if you are using more than one color. Stitch back and forth a few times to secure. |
![]() |
Continue stitching petals together until you have joined all eight. |

Turn flower over and join the first petal to the last. Stitch around one more time catching the back of each petal. Pull tight and knot. Cut your thread. |

Using the flower center pattern piece, cut out one center using the color of your choice. You can use felt or fleece. |
![]() |
Using a simple basting stitch, sew around the outer edge, about 3/8 inch inside the outer edge. |

Poke the needle to the outside and pull slightly to gather in edges. Fill with stuffing, or I just like to use little pieces of scrap felt. It works great. |

Stitch back and forth to secure in place. Don’t worry too much what your stitches look like, as they will not be seen. Knot and cut thread. |
![]() |
Dab a little bit of hot glue to the back of your flower center and press firmly onto the front center of your flower. |

To make a cute stem, simply paint a bamboo skewer green and cut out a felt leaf. Using the glue gun, add a dab of glue to the bottom 2 inches of the leaf. Place the stem on top. |
![]() |
Add just a little more glue and fold the edges over. |

Tadah! Wasn’t that easy and fun. |
Send me a note if you have any questions or concerns while sewing these up.
I have designed a fun pattern with 5 other types of flowers using felt and fleece. You can check it out at my craftsy shop or my etsy shop.
Enjoy!

So cute! Thanks for sharing!
