I love this pattern. Thank you so much.
My future Daughter in Law has chosen this garter for me to make for her wedding.

I do not see the flower you used listed in the pattern. How did you make this?
could you please post the directions for the flower, I really would like to include this on her garter.

Thank you so much,
Toni
