Floral Alphabet embroidery

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.    Today I am happy to share with you another simple embroidery design which I was longing to do for a very long time.  Floral alphabets are very popular in the embroidery design world and the way they are finished into hoop frames are simply awesome.  I wanted to do one for a very long time and last week I printed one free pattern from the net and have embroidered it. So here it is.

Video tutorial 

close up of the design

I have chosen the first letter of my name and so it is ‘s’.  The centre flower is done using satin stitch with French knots in the centre.  The other two flowers are done using woven rose stitch.  Leaves are done using fern stitch and lazy daisy stitch.  The alphabet is embroidered using back stitch.  I love the outcome and I finished it in a hoop and glued white round beads to the edges of the hoop.  

Threads used

Woven roses - 329, 328 (6 strands)

Planning to do more of these kind embroidery in my free time. Hope all of you like it.  There are lots of alphabet designs available online.  Do try one and enjoy.  I will be back with a stitch tutorial soon.  Till then happy embroidering and have a nice day.

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.
