Last year when I subscribed for the Anchor Needle n thread magazine i got a small kit with the first issue. It contains a small design to be embroidered in a hankie with the fabric, thread and needle. I have decided to do a simple project in between my new chikan kurti project. so I have taken the kit and embroidered this design.
The embroidery is done using Satin stitch. The edges of the hankie has to be completed. I thought of doing a simple crocheted border. Now, have a look at the design.
I didn't get the direction of the stitches right. Should try more in satin stitch. Currently, I am doing a project on chikan embroidery kurti and a cross stitch puppy. In between some crochet works are also going on. I will meet u with a crocheted doily in next post. Till then, Happy embroidering.
That's a nice design. The Satin stitches are plump, did you base them with some straight stitches?
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lot of project on the go at one time! Have fun!
I guess I too have that kit. They sometimes send the same kit twice.
ReplyDeleteOther than the outer part of petals which have a bit less smooth finish, I don't see anything wrong with direction.
