Flowers, Flowers Everywhere

With my Darling Daughters Wedding less than 3 weeks away, I thought I had better start working on the flowers. Above is a picture of a portion of the flowers for the wedding, I was able to get the flowers colored today and most of them wrapped with stem tape. Tomorrow after work I will go and buy some leaves for the corsages and work on them tomorrow night, I will post some pictures of the bouquets and corsages when I get them done.......

Steam-A-Seam 2 by The Warm Company

Have you ever had to make dozens of items in a hurry?
I am making all sorts of things for my daughters upcoming wedding and today I had the perfect solution for what I was making.

Above is a picture of the tools I used to make 24 15" square runners to be used under the centerpieces on the tables during the reception.
A rotary cutter, mat, ruler and Steam-a-Seam 2 by The Warm Company.

Place the Steam-a-Seam 2 along the edge of the fabric.

Pull the tape off the Steam-a-Seam 2.

Fold the edge up, which is easy since Steam-a-Seam 2 is a Double Stick Fusible Web.

Iron to permanently bond edges.
Quick and easy, which is what you need when doing a lot of items!
