Flower Embroidery Patterns
The delightful art of embroidery has been taught to young women for ages. Most items are done using already made patterns. Although beautiful and eye-catching they leave no room for using your own imagination.
If you’re interested in making your own designs, the patterns provided today will let you do that.
By arranging and transferring the flower patterns onto your choice of fabric, you can come up with your very own design. It can be as intricate or as simple as you’d like. From something like the sample below to using one flower to adorn the corner of a vintage hankie.
Marking a Pattern on Fabric
You’ll need to print out and then copy the patterns onto your fabric. Here is a good article on TheSpruceCrafts.com on Five Methods for Marking an Embroidery Pattern on Fabric.
The material you choose will depend on the item you’d like to make and embroider. Whether it is for every day use or a pretty bonnet for a baby. There are many ‘ready to embroidery’ items available or use a vintage item you’ve found.
Embroidery Stitches
To use these patterns you will need at least an elementary knowledge of embroidery stitches, but they aren’t too complicated that you wouldn’t be able to quickly learn how to do them.
There are many places on the internet that feature a how-to on stitches as-well-as YouTube videos you can watch and follow along as the person makes the stitch.
Do an internet search on the stitch you’d like to learn more about. In an earlier blog post I discussed some Important Embroidery Stitches.
Some of the stitches you’ll need to know are: Daisy, French Knots, Buttonhole, Chain or Stem, Satin, Coral or Feather, Double Back, Romanian or Fish-Bone, and Fern.
