Pleated corsage finished

After some trouble with my sewing machine yesterday, finding the right materials, I finally made my first pleated pin.
I picked a pink 100% cotton fabric bought at Stoff and Stil in Malmö. The button comes from a little store in Paris for long time ago.
Safety pin and the sheep piece is cutted of a Ikea carpet.

The pattern is easy and the result is satisfying. I will make more of those.

You can have it on a bag, blouse, or hair band...
