I did it! I used some Anna Maria Horner Voile! It’s been sitting there for months just mocking me and my inability to harm it in any way with scissors, but I fought the voile and I won! Ok, so I actually didn’t have to cut into it, I used a full half yard, including selvages, to make this. Baby steps.
Sidenote: I know some of you are just cringing at my ignorance and my relatives are currently shielding their faces as if they don’t know me, but the extent of my knowledge of horticulture is very limited, so to me, these flowers are “green” and “white”. I chose them for the same reason I choose any flower – because they were purty & smelled yummy. If you have more information than that and can provide it in a non-condescending way, I’d love to hear it! :)

pretty! Oh how hard it is to cut into some fabric – I feel your pain! This is great though. And I think your green flowers are a type of mum. :)

I love it! I bought this fabric in the olive color and loved sewing with it too. Isn’t it gorgeous?

i saw this on Disney’s blog and loved it and had to come see for myself. I totally get you and the whole ‘can’t cut it’ crisis! fabric where I live is really expensive and hard to come by, so it makes me freak out even more!! =P
