Picot Flower

I have gotten such a good response for my Flowers by the Seaside hat that I wanted to create a flower for it that was all my own.  After a lot of trial and error I have finally succeeded.  Introducing the "Picot Flower by Home made hats ~  

I hope you enjoy making this flower as much as I enjoyed creating it!
