#HibiscusChallenge Part 1: The Flower
Are you excited to start the new Stitch Along?
I hope everyone is ready, they have all the equipment. Otherwise, here is a new product just for you. You can take it at any time, do not be nervous :)
A few warnings before you start.
- If you do not have a template, sign up և view the welcome message to learn how to access և access the Resource Library. You will find the model there.
- There will be a lot of photos, so be careful if your connection is sensitive to too much data.
- This part is probably going to be the hardest part, so it's fine if you don't finish it next Wednesday.
- Take your time, take your time. The following pieces will be easier for you to catch.
- If you are new to shorts և shorts, you can take on this challenge. But that's why it's a challenge . :) Do not be afraid to practice.
- Do not worry if it does not look like this. All it takes is practice. If I had tried it a few years ago, my stitches would not be the same as they are today. Remember that I did not start embroidering by hand yesterday, I have already accumulated years of practice.
- Leave your questions in the comments or by feedback .
- Don't forget to post your results on Instagram with # hibiscuschallenge (և mention me so you don't miss your posts / stories) or email me at aminakdesigns [@] hotmail.com. It would be great if we could see each other's results before posting the next part to motivate each other :)
And now let's start.
The colors we will use today are A , B , C , D.
Today's points are:
In that order I will show you how the petals work. When I rotate the ring so that each petal is vertical, the order can be confused. so click on this box to find out which petal it is.
I will show you the 1st և 2nd petals from beginning to end.
And then, to speed things up a bit (well, from my subjective point of view), I'll show you how to work with 3, 4, 5 petals of the main color, and then add shadows to all three at once. .
You will understand!
To describe:
Before starting with long և short stitches, you should draw the sheets.
Use color A. Why? This color will stay on the edge of the petals, as we will make long և short stitches :)
Use it for reverse split stitch , thread 1 . (optional: 2-strand flower petal will rise slightly above the fabric surface (= slightly larger in size).
1. Remove the thread from the fabric և sew along the border.
2. Return to the farthest point from the previous end և dig from above։.
3. Repeat the previous step բաժան Divide the previous point again.
4. Continue working around the outline of each petal.
The split back is essentially the same as the back, but it splits the previous stitch when the needle is down.
The tube in the middle is called the style. We are working with Split Back Stitch again . Take the color C և yarn 1 :
5. Work on your style first
6. Then add a short line to fill in the blanks.
petal 1:
Take color A և thread 1 .
Draw straight lines on the fabric with a pen or pencil to make it easier to follow the seam in the right direction.
Rotate the ring so that the petals are upright, upwards if it is more convenient for you (I do).
7. Start working with the guidelines at the edge of the petal. As long as you do now, everything can be the same.
8. Then fill in the gaps between the movement points. Again, do not worry about the variety of lengths. For the first dotted line, its length can be similar.
9. Continue to fill in the gaps between the checkpoints. A two-point guide is like a cage that helps you create new points in a straightforward direction.
10. After finishing the first row, you can start a new one in the same way: first line up the points of movement, then fill in the gaps between them. When you start the second row, you can change the length of the rings. Also, if you notice, I've already worked on the sides.
11. Continue to work on the petals gradually, using the guide points. Try to keep the direction of the seams constant և change their length.
12. When you reach the edge of the next color field, change the yarn to color B.
13. By color B, you have almost reached the base of the petal.
14. Fill in the first petal by adding a few colored dots .
Now you can turn the ring և to see what it looks like :)
petals 2:
15. Now you can work on the second petal in the same way. Start with the main points ...
16. ... then fill in the blanks between them.
17. Work the second row in the same way, using the guide seams, filling in the gaps between them. Remember to leave an empty space to turn off regularly.
18. The middle parts are usually quite simple և easy to work with, so I personally prefer to start with the harder parts. In this case there will be a difference.
19. Fill in the center of the petal.
20. Take color B, work the empty space to the end. Follow the direction of the previous seams, try to be consistent when changing the threads.
21. Add a few small dots of C color inside.
22. The petal is ready.
3, 4, 5 petals
Now that you know how to make petals, the pictures will be more accurate. But the sequence is almost the same: work on the guide points, fill in the gaps between them.
23-24. Petal 3 has a smaller area of color A.
25. This petal is probably the hardest to bend. Our feathers are clear, they can not be folded, so we must be careful when working with your address. Watch carefully as I follow the instructions.
26-27. In such cases, it is often easier to shorten the strings to make a more subtle change in the direction of the seams. Do not change its direction abruptly, but gradually.
28. And the last petal. Everything is common here. Apply your guide's points and start filling in the gaps.
29. Do the same with all rows of stitches. Please note that I worked here from the left.
30-31 The direction of the points changes again to the left, follow this point. Trim the seams if necessary and make a gentle change.
32. Do not forget to leave space on the pattern.
33. Now take the color B , fill in the blank almost to the brim. Or if it is easier to access the root.
34. This happens after color B is added to all three petals.
35-36 Then add a few small dots of C color in the areas indicated by the arrows. For the fourth petal, you can match the last dots of color C.
37-38 Finally, take the D yarn եք tie the French knots . Take 2 threads and wrap them around the needle. Arrange the knots randomly,: you can give them an elegant look.
And so far so good.
Good luck to everyone in your work. Leave your questions in the comments.
Don't forget to show your points from Monday to next Tuesday (even if you haven't finished yet) before the next game is broadcast live :)
