Hutt Art Class – Dahlia

Create a three-dimensional Dahlia flower with buds and leaves using the addictive art of needle weaving.

Mary will bring along samples where she has used this technique in her “Ruins from the Wardrobe” series. In this series, she takes garments that have personal meaning but are no longer wearable and embellish with their stories. Vegetation takes over the garment in the same way a building ruin is invaded.

The kit will include four flower shades of Strand yarn, green yarn and the background linen/cotton mix fabric. There will be a choice of both background and flower colours.
​The materials cost includes linen and the Strand yarn.

Fantasy Tree Pink Embroidery Kit
Fantasy Tree Pink Embroidery Kit
Designed by Mary Self I come from South Taranaki where the trees are all windswept in one direction so this is a celebration of the effect of mother nature. The stitches used are blanket stitch, lazy daisy, split stitch, running stitch and French knots. In the following set of instructions we have described the threads and stitches that we used in our sample. However, please feel free to use other threads and your favourite stitches. This is freestyle embroidery and by varying the methods you use, your embroidery will become unique. The outlines of the leaves, branches and trunks are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material. You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.
