Raised Cross Stitch flower stitch - Embroidery Stitch tutorial

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you a simple and easy stitch to make a mini rose like flower.  It is raised cross stitch flower stitch.  It is an excellent stitch for beginners to embroider a mini rose.  

Video Tutorial Here 

Let's move on to the tutorial.  I am using six strands of embroidery floss here.  

Start with an upright cross.  

Bring the needle near the centre of the cross in the right hand side.

Pass the needle under the spoke in the right side without picking up the fabric.  The working thread should be under the needle.

Turn the work 90 degrees in clockwise direction and again pass the needle under the right side spoke without picking up the fabric.  

Repeat the above step in clockwise direction until the spokes are covered.   

Anchor the thread under the next whipped stitch.  A cute little flower is formed.

Add a bead or button to the centre of the flower/rose.  

You can add some straight stitches for the leaves and a little spray motif for your dresses is ready.

Mirror work - 6 using lazy daisy stitch variation


Hi all
Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you another mirror work done using lazy daisy stitch variation.  
Here I am using a 0.5" sequin. 


1)  Fix the sequin using glue or using the stab stitch through the holes in both sides of sequin.

2)  Draw a circle around the sequin with a gap of 0.5 cm from the sequin.

3)  Stitch two straight stitches vertically over the sequin.

4)  Stitch two horizontal stitches over the previous vertical stitches.

5)  Bring the needle up near the sequin.

6)  Pass the needle under the base stitches and pick up a small length of fabric near the outer circle with the working thread over the needle .

7)  Pull through the needle.  First stitch is made.

8)  Bring the needle up next to the first stitch and repeat the same.

9)  Pass the needle under the base stitches and pick up a small length of fabric near the outer circle.

10)  Loop the thread over the needle.

11)  Pull through the thread and anchor the stitch outside the stitch as we do for lazy daisy stitch.

Repeat steps from 8 around the sequin.

The mirror is beautifully framed.
