Embroidery Design - Cast on Stitch Rose

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and had a great weekend.  Today I am happy to share with you an embroidery stitch rose.  The stitch I am talking about is cast on stitch. It is used in Brazilian embroidery and now a days it is used in most of the embroidery dresses designed in the boutiques.  It will take some time to master the stitch and only during practice we can get the tips and tricks in doing the stitch.   Back in 2019 I have practiced cast on stitch and you can view that flower here.

Today I will be sharing the design.  I didn't draw the pattern for this design.  Stitched the rose first and then randomly stitched the leaves. I have used tapestry needle to do this stitch.  Usually chenille needles are used.  Now onto the design.

I have used 3 shades of coral colours dark to light from inside out. For the leaves I have used straight stitches following the shape.  You can use fly stitch also.  

Anchor thread colours- All six strands are used.

Dark - 11 - 7 strands

Medium - 10 - 13 wraps

Light - 9 - 15 wraps

Leaves - 245 - 3 strands

Making of the flower

---------------------------

Tomorrow I will come up with the tutorial for doing cast on stitch and the steps to work a flower.  Till then have a happy time with your needle and thread.

Handmade Monday

Embroidered flowers

Hello all 

Hope all r doing good.  On the crafty side everything is going on well.  Mostly I am crocheting and doing kutch work embroidery.  In between them I have embroidered some flowers which I have like on seeing some dresses in an idea of doing it in kurti in future.  

The first one is a simple stitch - Woven spider wheel stitch.

The big flowers are woven spider wheel stitch and the dots are french dots.  Now a days in pinterest I am seeing so many pins with french knots used to fill  a design.  And it looks good too.  Instead of going for beads or stones it will be well and good to use french knots.  I love to do french knots after purchasing aari embroidery stand.  It is very easy to do if we fit the embroidery frame on a stand.  Moreover the flower looks cute when done in  variegated thread.  Important point to note here on doing woven spider wheel stitch is there should be odd number of spokes.  I used all the 6 strands of thread and for french knots I wound the thread once around the needle.

Next one - Cast on stitch

Here I have used variegated brown thread with all the six strands.  Leaves are lazy daisy stitch with 3 strands.  This flower needs practice to get it's shape.  Initially I struggled with it after a couple of stitches I succeeded.  

Next one - Ring knots

This is a variation of french knots with a ring.  In aari embroidery this stitch is used widely for flowers.  Here also I have used the 6 strands of thread.  The stem and leaves are done using aari technique just to practice.  I like this stitch .  Embroidering a flower with ring knots and outlining it with beads gives an elegant look in aari embroidery.  

Tomorrow I will be giving the update  on the ripple blanket and cross stitch cushion.  Also, Crochet purses are in line to appear here.  So do watch my space.  Till then, Have a happy time with needle n thread.

TAST 2012 - A catch up

Since I have some projects in hand I am unable to experiment with the stitches for the past 3 weeks.  As Sharon announced this week as catch up week I have decided to do atleast a sample row of each stitch and I have ended up with this.

 

Inside flower(red color) is Cast on stitch.  I found it easy after following the video tutorial from needlenthread.   You can find a lot of video tutorials and many more.

 

Then I have done Pekinese stitch and then tried Sheaf stitch.  Not able to experiment more.  Surely come up with more samples in the days to come.

 

 

 

Happy embroidering.
