Tilde tulips on March 8

To make Tilda tulips, take:
- fabric of a suitable color for buds and stems;

If you use fleece for buds, tilde tulips will be soft and cozy. Using faux satin or satin will create flowers that sparkle beautifully. Redraw the details of the plant onto the canvas using this template.
Here are the dimensions: the flower has a height of 9 cm, the width in the middle is 5, 5 cm. The height of the leaf is 16, 5 cm; the height of the stem is 20, and its width is 2 cm. Cut these blanks with allowances for the seams.
For the stem, you need one piece that folds in half, for the bud and leaf, cut out two pieces.
Fold the stem in half and sew from the small and large side edges. Press down on the small sewn side with a pencil, turn this blank onto the front side.
Leave a pencil or Chinese wooden stick inside the stem, but on the wrong side.
To prevent the fabric from fraying at the edges and the sewn sheet blank from wrinkling, cut these parts with zigzag scissors. Fold the two elements right-side up, sew, leaving the bottom of this part unprocessed for now.
Iron the seams, stitch the sheet along the sides, stepping back 3 mm from the edges.
Fold 2 blanks for a flower with the right sides, stitch to the edge on the wrong side. Turn through the hole left at the bottom of the bud. Through it you will fill the flower with filler, insert a solid stem here. Sew the joints of these two blanks firmly with a needle and thread.
Sew a leaf to the tulip so that it slightly covers the bud on one side.
See what a wonderful bouquet you get! Unlike cut flowers, such flowers will not fade for a long time, and they will cost much less than purchased ones. Any woman will surely like such unusual gifts.
