This isn't all of it there is more! These squares were cut and sewn by someone...I found a bag of these in the thrift store. The person had top stitched all the squares with the gold colour thread that is on most jeans. I took all that stitching out...I think it looks better to me...now...what to do with them! π

This is a larger size... maybe 2-3x
The tag was cut off. π€·
This is an embroidered sheer fabric...I used heat and bond then fussy cut the flowers out...ironed them on the jacket... then free motion stitched them...then I went around the edges with stop fray...lots of work but it turned out great! I can add some to the front if the customer chooses.
