I love this idea of making vintage flower bouquets from old laces and fabrics, bleached fabrics and left over remnants.

I have tried this before and found that if I dye fabric and then string the bottom edge to form a ruffle and wrap I get pretty unique flowers, add old lace, add fabric that has been painted and you have your own make your mark flowers. This was the photo that inspired my creations.
