* embroidered flower patch
Posted on July 12th, 2006 by maitreya. Filed under Crafty Book/TV Review, Cross Stitch/Embroidery.
I picked up Sew Stylish by Katie Ebben at the library the other day. It’s a pretty good book. They are mostly simple, immediate gratification projects, like edging a shirt with silk ribbon, adding a founce/tier to lengthen a skirt, and a little clutch. The demo clothes in the pictures are just great; there’s a trench coat in particular that totally distracted me from the flower pin that was the actual project. The chapters are organized around techniques like patching and hemming and trimming, and each chapter starts with a couple of pages of basic skills before applying them to different problems. The ideas are better than the advertised uses. Like this flower patch, used as an actual patch in the book. I think I might put a pinback on it and attach it to my purse. It’s machine embroidered using a tight zigzag stitch and my much beloved darning foot. My new Swiss embroidery hoops performed admirably, although after nabbing a similar one at Joann’s last week (on sale for 99 cents!), they seem less exotic.

I like the flower that you made. I think the amazing fabric and it’s color would “pop” more if you were to use a contrasting color instead of just white. Still very lovely!

Nice flower! Are you using an interfacing or some kind of backing? (I’m new to sewing, so I love picking up any new tips or techniques). Thanks :)

Love the patterns of the machine stiches. The threads look so comfortably curving and holding together. :0) Cute flower!
