Tiny Rose Embroidery, Stem stitch rose

 Hi all 

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you the tutorial to embroider a tiny rose using stem stitch.  Hope all of you will like it. 

I am taking 6 strands of thread and two colours of thread.  The centre of the flower is done using a small knot.  Let's move on to the tutorial.

Video Tutorial Here

1)  Start with a small square.

2)  Bring the thread up at 1, In at 2 and again up at 3

3)  Pull through the thread.  You will get a straight stitch like the one below. 

4)  Pass the needle under the straight stitch with the tip of the needle pointing upwards and working thread below

5)  Pull through the thread and put the needle in at the 4th corner.

6)  Pull through the thread and you will get a small 'x' like structure with a knot in the centre and four legs.

7)  Bring the needle up between any two legs

8)  Pass the thread under the any one tail and pull through.

9)  Like wise pass the needle under the other three tails also with the thread under the needle.

10)  After passing the thread through the fourth tail pass the needle through the fabric and pick up a small stitch and pull through the thread with the thread under the needle. 

11)  Anchor the first color above the last stitch

12)  A tiny knotted centre is formed.  

13)  Bring the thread up with the second colour at any one point around the tiny knot.

14)  Start doing the stem stitches around the tiny knot till you get the desired size of the rose. 

15)  Anchor the thread.

After 5 rounds of stem stitches my rose looks like this.

Add some leaves and your tiny rose is ready.  I have added lazy daisy leaves.

You can use this tiny motif as an all over design in your dresses.  Or you can add 3 or 4 roses next to each other as a bunch.  You can also add a bead or pearl in the centre as an embellishment. 

Hope all of you like this.  Try this rose in your dresses.  If you want to see the video tutorial for this rose click here.
