Here it is how to create a little and very nice flower with fabric.
Material and advice :

thread, we used C-Lon thread AA Rose.
A needle.
A pair of scissors.
Step 1 :
Place the fabric square flat, the back towards you.
Take a round object which will be also the pattern (with a diameter of about 30 mm) like a thread bobbin for example, or you can use the template & Ruler.
Position it on the fabric.

Let the thread like shown below.
It will serve to gather the petals together and to fix them.
Step 9 :
Make 6 petals more like the one you just have done and slip them on the thread.
Step 10 :
Sew together the two petals which are on the ends, to create the flower.
For a better relief, make a second flower identical as the one you just have done and sew them back to back.
Lay the square of fabric flat, with the back of the fabric facing you.
Take a round object that can be used as a template (with a diameter of about 30 mm) such as a spool of thread for example, or you can use the Template & Sizing Ruler.
Position it on the fabric.
Trace the circle by marking the inside of the template with a pencil.
Cut out the circle with the scissors.
Take the circle with the print towards you.
Fold it in half.
Fold it a second time.

For even more relief, make a second flower identical to the one you just made and sew them back to back.
