I’ve always wanted to try my hand at embroidery, and finally got down to it earlier this year with three mini projects – teachers’ day gifts, and two small pouches as birthday gifts to my precious precious friends.
After much research on the different types of stitches and embroidery techniques, I decided to go with a simple design that only required back stitch, stem stitch, and that leafy cross stitch. Drew the designs on my iPad, and traced it onto the cloth with a random black pen (I should probably get washable ink for future projects).
I think I’m most satisfied with the line art design on the small pouch, probably because the lines are the most well spaced out. I think I drew the other designs too closely so there wasn’t much space to stitch the actual product. Lesson learnt!
But anyway, just documenting it here for keep sake! (:
