Description of embroidery colors

Let's try to do something simple, using a detailed description of each stage of the session. For example, volumetric embroidery pansies. It can be produced on clothes or used as an ornament of some souvenir.

• Base fabric and more dense material for bulk elements.
• Wire.
• Embroidery frame.

After preparing everything you need, let's start the needlework.

Procedure of

1. First of all we will prepare petals. Each of them is executed separately. On a fabric to translate a template

And to embroider a contour a suture seam.

The inside of the part is filled with a shady surface in the following way. The first row of stitches is one color, the second - to another. Finish the petal follows the ray-shaped divergence of the stitches from its base with threads of a black mulberry. Their size is 3 quarters of the length of the petal. Then the element must be carefully cut. In the same way, make 5 petals for one flower. They can be made any number, depending on the intent of the work.

2. Attaching the petals to the fabric using a seam "for a needle".

The petals are sewn on 2, first the back, then opposite the front ones. The last( 5th) is superimposed on the last part sewn on the details by the front surface, fixed in the central part and turned away. The center of the connection of the petals is denoted by nodular seams.

3. Bud making. It is made of sepals. Patterns are transferred to the tissue. The outlines of the elements are performed with loop stitches with green threads, inside the sepal is filled with smooth. On the upper edge of the part from the back side, too, is applied a stitch seam, which coincides with the stitches of the smooth surface. Sepals are cut as close as possible to the edge. Now we need to collect the details. This is done using a wire that is fixed on the wrong side. Then the petal is folded and fixed with green hair. The other end of the wire wraps the sepals in the lower part. Thus, the wire stem is obtained.

4. The leaves are transferred to the fabric, the contour is embroidered with a stitching suture with light green threads, inside - with a smooth surface. For the main vein a caulis is used, for the side stitches, which are embroidered with silk thread. In the end, all the details are cut out.

5. Composition of the composition on the main tissue. Leaves can be placed on one or both sides of the flowers. Some of the leaves are covered with flowers, and several colors can be covered with leaves. This will add to the naturalness of the plot.
