This fabric rose tutorial shows how to make a chiffon rose and turn it into a finished choker necklace. Use a small piece of fabric left over from a sewing project, or choose something especially for the necklace. The method also suits other natural-fibre fabrics, and the finished flower can be used for a brooch, headpiece or garment embellishment.

By the end of the course, you will know how to create a textile rose from fabric and turn it into a wearable choker.

I’m Ksenia, a textile artist, designer, and embroidery educator based in the UK. My work brings together hand embroidery, textile manipulation, wearable accessories, and contemporary craft.
I created this tutorial for people who want to make something finished and wearable, while also learning a practical textile technique they can use again. The project is simple enough to follow at home, but it still gives space for personal styling, colour choices, and future adaptations.
This course is suitable for beginners and creative people who enjoy wearable textile projects. It is especially useful if you like handmade accessories, fashion details, costume, textile jewellery, or fabric flowers, and want to learn a technique that can be adapted beyond one project.
You do not need previous flower-making experience. Basic hand-sewing confidence is useful, but the process is shown step by step.
This course is not for you if you want a very quick, no-effort craft project. The choker is not technically difficult, but it does require careful cutting, shaping, assembling, and finishing.
Absolutely! Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting, my step-by-step video tutorial is designed for all skill levels. I'll guide you through every stitch, ensuring you create a stunning rose choker regardless of your experience.
Lightweight fabrics like cotton, silk, or organza work well for making it. Best of all, you don't need much. You can use leftovers from your other projects.
To make a choker, you will need fabric of your choice, scissors, a needle, thread, and metal wire. A sewing machine will make the process a bit faster, but it is not mandatory. A detailed list of tools is included.
Inside, you will find recommendations and ideas on how to style this flower. So you can apply this knowledge to make something different, but equally stylish.
I spent approximately three hours making the final piece, including choosing the fabric.
On average, it takes a few dedicated hours. But feel free to pace yourself. The beauty of this course is its flexibility - you craft on your terms.
If you enjoyed making the Rose Choker, take the idea of textile flowers much further with my Rose Jumpsuit course.
This time, you’ll learn a completely different way of creating dimensional fabric roses and use them as part of a full garment composition. I show you how I make the flowers, arrange them across the jumpsuit, embroider the leaves and bring all the elements together into one bold, wearable design.
