Easy blanket stitch flower embroidery for sarees and kurtis

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  

Whenever I think about creating a new embroidery design, it is only floral patterns that draw me in. Flowers are something that have always been attractive to me. 

 This time, I’ve come up with a simple floral design. It can be embroidered as individual, standalone motifs scattered across a saree.  If you create this design in a continuous, slanted pattern, you will get a neat and simple border design.

Rainbow Berries

 Hi all 

Hope all are staying safe and doing good.  Whenever I start to do an embroidery project I always get confused in choosing the colours.  Sometime the colour choices will work out, but most of the times my colours choices are not that much appealing.  For example you can see this cross stitch project.  After finishing I will regret for choosing those colours.  So always I refer the pins I have save in my pinterest board .  Have a look at the boards.  You can see amazing colour combinations saved from different webpages.

I love to see the rainbow and the colours of the rainbow always amazes me.  Different projects made using rainbow colors mesmerizes me and whenever I see such projects,  I always wanted to try one using rainbow colors.  And that's why this design came into existence.  

I have named it as rainbow berries because I have used the berry stitch in rainbow colours.  I will post the tutorial for berry stitch tomorrow.  Berry stitch is nothing but layered lazy daisy stitch.  Two layers of lazy daisy stitch has been done through out.  Instead of berry stitch, granitos stitch can also be used.  

Anchor thread numbers - 4 strands 

Red - 47

orange - 316

Yellow - 298

Green - 256

Blue - 140

Indigo - 155

Violet - 100

Hope all of you like this pattern.  Tomorrow I will be back with the tutorial for berry stitch and a design to practice that stitch.  Till then, have a nice day.

Embroidery flower design using ring knots

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well. Yesterday and day before yesterday I have posted the tutorial for doing ring knot and a design to practice it with only one round.  Today I am happy to share with you another design that uses two round of Ring knots.  Yesterday in the tutorial itself I have shown the steps.    These two round ring knots works well for a flower where petals overlap one another.  You can work this flowers in bunches to make it more attractive.  Come let's see the design.  

This design works well as sprays for sarees and also in kurtis.  I have used 6 strands of anchor threads for the flowers.  Attached a golden colour bead in the center.  For stems I have used backstitch.  You can use stem stitch also.  Leaves are worked in straight stitches.  Then stitched the beads here and there.  I have stitches a similar design in a kurti neck using this ring knots.  You can view it here.

Pattern for the design.

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

The dotted pattern is zoomed below.

• The black dot in the center is the place to attach the bead at last.  
• Start from the outer black dots.  
• Instead of working the ring knots in a circle first stitch in those places where these black dots are.  
• Then stitch between the space between the two ring knots.  
• The first round will be completed.  Now stitch on the purple dots in the middle.  
• Take care the ring knot in this round comes between two stitches in the previous round and overlaps them halfway.  

Once again I will show the pictures that I have shown yesterday.

You can stitch more rounds to make a big flower.  You can mark dots like above and can work accordingly that can give neater look instead of working in a drawn circle.  

Hope all of you like this design and hope you understand the working of the flower also.  I will be happy if you drop down a comment in the comments section.  Do follow my blog or subscribe me through email so that you can get my blog posts in your reading list. 

Tomorrow I will be back with a zentangle frame design.  So do watch my space.
