 Tales of a Quiet Book, Button Flowers and Bugs

I found this page on the blog Made by Molly and saw no reason to change it. I created a new pattern which is posted below, but it looks essentially the same. I did, however, create a bug page that works for boys. Stephanie, my neighbor, did the sewing on that and went with snaps as opposed to buttons. If you would rather do snaps, follow the method used on the cupcake page, posted a couple of weeks ago.

Materials Needed:
* Fabric (remember to prewash all fabrics)
* Fabric with flowers that have a diameter of at least 1.5", bigger is better
* Felt for the back of the pocket and the flowers
* 5 buttons with a 3/4" diameter
* Green 3/8" ribbon
* Steam a Seam
* 9"x9" square of reinforcement for the back of the page
* Pattern (I've included patterns for the bug page as well)

Stems:
* Cut 5 strips of the ribbon, each about 6"
* Using the template, arrange the ribbons and pin into place
* Sew ribbon to page using a zig-zag stitch (go through the reinforcement)
* Satin stitch the top of the ribbon to prevent fraying
* Sew buttons to the top of the ribbons

Pocket:
* Cut the pocket from fabric and felt
* With right sides together, sew the felt and pocket material along the top of the pocket
* Understitch the inside of the pocket
* Iron the pocket
* Baste the pocket to the page

Flowers:
* Cut flowers from fabric and steam a seam
* Iron flowers to felt
* Satin stitch around the edge of the flowers
* Make button hole in center of flower
* Cut flower from felt

Add 1 1/2" binding to side.
