February’s Tutorial Tuesday Final Project is ready!!

Pink Flowers With Only 3 Different Stitches!

Those stitches all of our stitches from this month: Chain, Seed and Fishbone stitches! Hooray! This is our second full project completed for 2022. I’m just so excited to see how this little commitment to provide resources each week and a final project each month will turn out at the end of twelve months!

Thank you to everyone who’s shared their work along with the Tutorial Tuesday and who have participated in learning a new stitch or perfecting the ones they already knew! As the year processes, we will continue to get harder, more complex stitches going. We are going to learn A TON together!

We are moving on to our next project and this month will have FIVE new stitches to cover! So now that we wrapped up this adorable pink flower design, we’re ready for the next one!

Wildflower Embroidery Kit Design

Most of my embroidery kit designs are inspired by my life. This bundle of earthly colors and textures has long been a favorite of mine.

This wildflower kit design was inspired by my daughter. She loves to collect flowers. She always puts together the most delightful bundle of wildflowers she picks. We put some water into mason jars and place her wildflowers in the jar. The make-shift vase holds a predominate place on our kitchen table often. She loves looking at them, pointing out the different flowers, and smelling their fresh fragrance. It is the cutest thing.

Tiny Bow Posy embroidery grew out of these sweet moments and I love how the design turned out. It’s been a staple kit in our shop ever since. This bouquet of wildflowers has goldenrod, and daisies.

If you are feeling intimidated by embroidery, a kit a lovely place to start, with all the materials and info down to what colors and stitches to use, loads of photos, and step-by-step instruction, you’ll be stitching like a pro in no time!

Remember we’re having our HUGE kit sale this whole, entire month!! There is only less than a week left of enjoying these beautiful kits at HALF OFF. The Tiny Bow Posy is a great one to start with and a great gift for your flower loving friend.

Welcome to February’s Tutorial Tuesdays!! We’re ready for more stitches to improve and a new mini project that brings them all together!

This week is the Chain Stitch

It’s an easy one to do, but looks complicated with its interlocking appearance.

This week we’re working the chain stitch. Here I am using 3 strands of floss.

Start by pulling your floss all the way through the fabric until the knot catches, then run your needle through the same spot and pull the floss through. This creates the loop!

Before pulling your floss all the way through, bring the needle through the loop, about one stitch lengths away from the beginning of your loop. Then pull the floss through, and that is the beginning of your next loop. Repeat this over and over! Experiment with different stitch length as you fill in the line.

As you practice the other shapes, keep your stitches short and tight around the curves. The tighter the curve, the smaller your stitches should be.

You did it! Join us next week for another fun stitch!

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!!
