Congratulations on your wonderful work!
Everything works fine and I like all the thread color improvements. It's hard to find the right one during a ban, so feel free to adapt this project to what you have.
Where to get a plan:
- If you are not registered, you can register . In the first welcome message you will receive information about the library and a password to access it. Now the model is stored there for free.
- If you are already registered, go directly to the resource library, where you will find detailed information.
The instructions remain in this blog and will not be deleted. So you can start the project at any time!
The last part was easy and I hope it was a relaxing embroidery session for you. Now we're back to a little harder work, so roll up your sleeves! Let's take it.
Highlights today:
Today's colors are G, H, I, J.
Palm leaf
Use 1 strand of colored thread and pull the centerline into the split stitch . Then draw a small piece of paper in the same place.
2. Remove the outline of the skin and fill it with small long and short stitches . This post may be useful, but you can deploy it here in a relaxed and familiar way. Do not think too much about the technical details here, just place the dots as you drew.
3. Make sure that the sheet is completely closed and does not look inwards.
4. Repeat for other leaflets.
Here is the end result.
It might seem quick and easy ... and a little easier, but not too fast, haha. Pamphlets are small, so they need extra care and attention, and may take longer than you expect.
If you want, even if the leaf does not look very thin, you can try using 2 wires to speed up the process a bit.
Also, if you prefer, you can first list all the sliders together and then fill them one by one.
Wolf's letter
(Disclaimer Some of you may want to make a Monstera letter in 1 color. Very well, choose a color you like and use it for the whole environment).
5. Use 2 G-wires and suture the blood vessels in a split stitch .
Then make contours with Split Back Stitch 1 thread of color I or J (do not use).
7. Then start plugging the leaf with long and short stitches. Take 1 thread and match color J to the syare J and color under the syare I. Use the tips here to make your life easier.
8. Here, long and short stitches should be a little easier when working with flowers, as there is no change of direction. Most stitches are easily straightened. Be careful to cover the contour and reach for the grain below.
9-10 Look closely as I sew the guide stitches and "hug" the contours side by side. It can be very difficult to cover these points while maintaining the general direction of the sea. As you can see, I was slightly distracted at this point.
11. Separate each space or lighten each space and then change the color to black. Which is more convenient for you! I alternate both. Sometimes it processes each field separately, sometimes several fields of the same color.
12. [Optional] If you left thread H, you can use the back seam lines separated at the bottom :)
This is the end result!
And here, did you guess it?
If you like, you can add a letter to the center: a name, an inspirational quote, an important date, or anything else you like.Here and on this topic there are articles with some tips and links.
What challenges did you overcome while working on this project?
Take a moment to complete this project as you wish, and when it's ready, send me a photo so we can have a gallery like Cecilia Rose and Magnolia , and celebrate our success together.
They appreciate your ideas about this project , how it went, how difficult and easy it is, and what lessons you will take with you for your future projects.
Send it to aminakdesigns [@] hotmail.com or tag me on Instagram @stitch_floral and use #hibiscuschallenge .
Personally, I hope you have helped #HibiscusChallenge to easily develop your sewing skills and maybe learn something new.
Difficulty means overcoming some of your inner doubts, limitations and fears. Sometimes we are afraid of a certain technique, a certain balance of the project, or we may find it difficult to carry out the task. What's more, most of us are currently in a difficult situation. Therefore, it is worthwhile to reach the final line. Some of you have tried long and short stitches for the first time and this is a good start :)
We invite everyone and I look forward to your work!
Thank you to everyone who participated and we will continue to expand and improve our skills!
