Wild Flowers Embroidery Kit
Designed by Mary Self
In nature, flowers are not all perfect but exuberate nevertheless.
The stitches used are running stitch, chain stitch, Fly Stitch, French knots, buttonhole stitch, and seed stitch.
In the inclosed set of instructions, we have described the threads and stitches that we used in our samples. 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
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.
