Tricolour Design

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  We celebrated our independence day on August 15th.  To celebrate it I have designed a small flower like design that uses the three colours of our flag.  I was not able to post on that day.  So posting it today.

This design uses the simple stitches so that beginners can also give a try.  I have included the lettering also so that one can practice to embroider letters.  Let's move on to the design.  

Video Tutorial here

Center of the design is done using straight stitches that represent chakra in the flag.  It has 24 spokes and I have included 24 straight stitches that emerges from the centre.  Then comes 3 round of fly stitches with green, white and orange/saffron colour.  Then the fly are again layered to get a thick and bold look.  The lettering is done using back stitches.  

• Straight stitches are done using 2 strands.
• Fly stitches are done using 6 strands.
• Lettering is done using 2 strands.  

Pattern for the design.

Corner design - An update on my saree project

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  I have started to embroider a saree on July and I have blogged about it here.   I am using  the simple stitches like buttonhole, back stitch and lazy daisy stitches.  On that post I have shown a small motif that is going to be embroidered along the borders.  

I have extended the same design and form a corner design .  That is what I am showing it now.  I am using 3 strands of threads for all the stitches. 

I have extended the following pattern to form the corner design.

Hopefully I will be finishing this saree within next month.  Now I am in the phase of designing a simple neck  pattern using the above pattern for the blouse.  

Hope all of you like this design.  I will be back with  a crochet finish in my next post.

Wall hanging Verse 2

>

 Hi all 

Hope all are doing great.  Today I am happy to with you a new embroidered wall hanging verse.  In the beginning of this year I have posted another verse.  You can have a look at it here.

Stitches used:

Verse - Back stitch

Stem -  Stem stitch

Flowers - French knots

Leaves - Lazy Daisy

I have attached two designs which I have sampled last year along with the verse.  The first is stem stitch. The second one is portuguese stem stitch.

On the joined edges I have stitched a line of feather stitch and then added french knots to it.   I have sandwiched the embroidered piece with a layer of cardstock at the bottom, then a thin sponge sheet, then the fabric, then the transparent sheet. Used fabric glue to stick the four sides of each layer.  Then to make a simple frame I have attached a glue sticker like stone and pearl border on all four sides.  The frame is ready.  

I have misplaced the pattern file for this design.  I will update it soon.   In my next post I will come up with a small cross stitch finish.  Till then, have a happy time with needle and thread.

Kasuti Yoke

kasuti embroidery is the one with geometrical shape. when worked perfectly it gives an elegant look.  I have learned kasuti embroidery through Mridulas school  of embroidery that too thru distance education.  After that i have purchased a book from them which have detailed explanation with the patterns, routes and diagram for churidhar tops.  from the book i have worked one yoke pattern that can be stitched later.  I have worked in a black color silk cotton fabric.

The pattern consists of motifs, filler patterns that altogether forms the shape of a necklace with a pendant.  I have used anchor cotton embroidery floss. Have a look at the work and give  your feedbacks.

Now I am working on the matching border for this yoke.  I will be back with another post in crochet.  Till then, Happy embroidering.

Embroidered verse - 2

I love to embroider verse.  I found a free verse pattern here.  You can find so many cute patterns there.  Used simple stitches to embroider this.  Planning to complete this as a hoop frame to hang it on the wall. I should purchase a plastic embroidery hoop from pony craft stores.  Have a look at it.

Some close ups

The stitches used are back stitch and straight stitch.  My first embroidered verse is here.

Little one's dress with the touch of my embroidery

I have purchased a dress for my niece who is going to be 1 tomorrow.  First up all I thought I will crochet  a skirt for her.,  But because of lack of time I was not able to do so and bought a dress.  In the bottom part of that dress It was plain on the right side.  So thought to do some simple embroidery and come up with this.  Just added the word "Happy Birthday Candy" and back stitched it.  Then added some daisy flowers.  I am happy with the outcome and how about you?.

 

Waiting for your comments and suggestions.

Happy embroidering,
Shami Immanuel.
