Because many people have commented favorably about
the cover for Crewel Intentions, the
Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mini-Mystery that takes place between Death by Killer Mop Doll and Revenge of the Crafty Corpse, I thought
I’d post the pattern for the embroidered rosebud.
The great thing about embroidery is that it’s so
versatile. By reducing or enlarging the pattern, you can make the rosebud any
size you want. You can stitch on a variety of fabrics with either floss or
tapestry yarn. Don’t want a pink rosebud? Swap out the light, medium, and dark
shades of pink for shades of yellow, coral, red, or white. Use your
imagination, and have fun.
Materials:
Fabric and floss or yarn of your choice; transfer
pen, pencil, or paper; embroidery hoop; tissue paper (optional;) embroidery
needle in size that works with chosen floss or yarn; scissors.
1. Print out the pattern in desired size.
2. Using your preferred method, transfer the pattern to
fabric of your choice.
3. Insert fabric into embroidery hoop. If using a
wooden hoop, place tissue paper between the fabric and hoop. Tear away area to
be embroidered. This will prevent the wood from discoloring the fabric.
4. Use stem stitch for the dark green (dotted lines.)
5. Work all other colors in satin stitch.
