Origami Butterflies…

We all know the traditional  paper origami, but have you ever had a go at fabric origami?

I wanted to make butterflies, and found this amazing tutorial by Ralph Matthews at origami-instructions.com, on his site he has a whole heaps on inspiration…

Take two different  pieces of 4.5″ x 6″ fabric, lay RST and sew all the way around 1/4″ from the edge. Leave a 2″ gap.  Turn right way out through the gap, and hand sew up the gap using a ladder stitch. Press, then begin at step 4 here:
