Lavender in Silk Ribbon
Step 1: Mark out a simple design as below, these
are then worked in Stem Stitch with 2 strands of
embroidery thread.
Step 2: The flower heads are created in this instance with
4 mm. Cascade House Silken Ribbon 5300
Ribbon Stitch beginning at the tip of the stalk and working
backwards up the stem. Have the hoop with the flower tip closest to you.
Step 3: Each Ribbon Stitch is made at a slight angle, loose
and full ( not flat on the fabric ) .
This is acheived by making a larger petal than required
and then pushing it back to give a slight rise in the ribbon
The Petals can be coming from each side of the
Stem Stitch Branch, but in this example I have
taken some across the stitching and then
the alternate stitch is tucked in under it.
I feel this makes it appear more dimensional
and hides some of the stem.
after all you would not see all the stem in the real flower.
I prefer to alternate the stitches rather than working
down one side and then the other.
Step 4: Embroider all the flower heads, keeping them
as uniform in size as possible.
Step 5: Add Ribbon Stitch Leaves as shown.
in 4 mm.
Step 6: An option is to add a Bud with Ribbon Stitches overlapping
and a few green leaves at the base.
