INSTRUCTIONS
begin
Transfer the mini garden pattern onto your fabric. Secure your fabric into your embroidery hoop.
continue
For the stem: Satin stitch the stem using 2 strands of brown floss. Start at right top corner of the pattern, end at left bottom, work downwards in lines.
For the leaves and waves: Start back stitching the outlines of the leaves and waves using two strands of floss in green and blue respectively. To fill up the leaves and waves, satin stitch using 3 floss strands in the correct color. Make sure you start from the outside of the outline covering the back stitches. Important to start from the middle of the leave and wave, stitch to one end, return to the middle and stitch to the other end.
For the flowers: Repeat as leaves and waves using the coral floss. As the height of the flower is longer than the leaves or waves, we recommend using 2 short satin stitches on top of each other instead of making 1 long satin stitch.
end
Be as creative as you can, leaving some floss unstitched and dangling loosely. -x-
