Shadow work embroidery, A perfect design to practice shadow work

Delicate, graceful, and rich in tradition, shadow work embroidery is a timeless technique that creates a beautiful, subtle effect—almost like a whisper stitched into fabric. Known for its translucent look and soft elegance, it’s perfect for adding charm to baby clothes, handkerchiefs, and home linens. If you’re new to this technique or looking for the ideal pattern to refine your skills, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’ll introduce a perfect design to practice shadow work—simple enough for beginners, yet satisfying for experienced embroiderers who love classic handwork.

In this design I have used double back stitch and stem stitch with 3 strands of thread throughout.  I have taken this design from the net.
