Tutorial Tuesday: Botanical Fern Embroidery Project
The end of our first Tutorial Tuesday is here! January’s mini project is this gorgeous fern, full of lovely details and perfect to practice all the stitches we just focused on this month.
This was a fun little embroidery art to complete, using the three stitches we learned this month! We covered:
Whipped Back Stitch, Long/Short Stitch & French Knots
Ready to make a fern to add to your botanical embroidery collection?!
Below is the video walking you through the completion of this sweet fern! And text boxes written out below!
Using 2 strands of the 3011, whip back stitch your stems focusing on one section at a time.
With 3 strands of 3011 and 1 strand of 934, long & short stitch the leaflets. Focus on one section at a time and allowing the angle to change as you move through each section. Stitch from the outer edge towards towards the stem. 3011 is on the outside and 934 on the inside.
With 1 strand of 950, add french knots around the stems and around the outside of the leaves for extra texture.
You did it! Join us next week for the start of a new cycle of learning and applying stitches!!
