Design A Day-Day 15

Here I am with  pattern for Day 15. Once more it is a small pattern with simple stitches.

 I stated with this pattern. I drew it directly on to the cloth.
I used 6 strand cotton floss and all of the 6 strands-2 shades of blue, light green and pink. Stitches used were, Detached Chain, Back Stitch and Chinese Knots. I added the Chinese Knot buds later which was not in the pattern I originally started with to fill in the spaces between the flowers.

After finishing the embroidery I realised that thought it was looking great, I should have used 2 strands or even pearl cotton as the ground cloth was fine cotton. It would look more delicate. Next tine I will do that.
Here is the pattern. I have altered it a bit and made it more symmetrical. It would look great on Kitchen/bed linen, blouses, kurtas, napkins, hand towels, children wear etc. You can use different colours or stitches and see how it looks. 

I am very happy that I kept my promise and posted for a fortnight without a break. Hope you like my patterns. I will take a break for this week end and see whether I can come up with more patterns. 

These designs were created by me. You can use them for your personal use only. If you use them, please send me the pictures of your work, which I will post on my blog or if you post them on your blog or site please link to the original pattern here on my blog and let me know about it.

I hope you will respect my request.

Keep an eye on my blog and watch out for more patterns and my work as I am determined to finish all my WIPs and also start new projects....

Design A Day-Day 13

Day 13 and I am here with one more pattern for you.
 As usual I started with the pattern drawn directly on the cloth.
 These were the 6 strand cotton floss I used.
The center of the flower is Chain stitch-3 strand. All the rest is 6 strand. I have used Chinese Knot stitch for the flower, Stem stitch for the stems and Detached Chain for the leaves. 

Actually I wanted to add just one row of knots but some how I was not satisfied with the result. So I added one more round to make it look like a proper flower. Later on I also added the four leaves at the bottom which was not there in my pattern I started with.

 Here is a closer look at the flower.
 Here is one pattern.
Here is the final one. This pattern will be good for corners and if repeated will look good as a border too.

Hope you have liked my pasterns so far. I am enjoying this project very much.

Please drop in your comments and suggestions if any. I would appreciate that very much.

Design A Day-Day 9


So Day 9 and here I am with another small and simple pattern. Roses! We all love them. They are quick and easy to embroider.
 Started with this pattern.
6 strand cotton floss used. Used all the 6 strand.
This is the final product. Stitches used: Ramblers Rose, Feather, Detached Chain.
 This is the pattern and also a slightly changed pattern for you. Hope you like these.
These patterns are good for blouses(around the neck, hem and sleeves), childrens' wear, kitchen linen, saris, kurtis, purses, pouches and bags, table cloths, doilies and so on.

Ramblers Rose as I found out is a very easy stitch. One can complete it very quickly. Just try it and see.

Design A Day-Day 8

Day 8: So I am here with another pattern 

I started with this pattern
 I used Pearl cotton threads but substituted light red for blue while actually embroidering. 
This is how it turned out. I used blanket wheel or buttonhole wheel, stem and detached chain stitches.
My mom remarked that for a hand kerchief, this was a big pattern and I should have used a smaller one. I agree with her, I added too many leaves. But I liked the result.

I have altered the pattern while recording it in my sketch book and tried to make it into a square pattern. 

I think this will go well with, kitchen linen, table mats, pillows, bed linen etc and also on blouses and children's wear. If  you don't want this big a pattern you can use only the central part and do away with so many twigs and leaves. 

These designs were created by me. You can use them for your personal use only. If you use them, please send me the pictures of your work, which I will post on my blog or if you post them on your blog or site please link to the original pattern here on my blog and let me know about it. I would appreciate that very much. If you want to share them please attribute the work to me, with link back to this blog. Do not re-publish. Please Don't Post the patterns on your site or blog. I hope you will respect my request.



Hope you like it. Watch out for more....

Design A Day-Day 7

Day-7: I wanted it to be a small pattern. I started with 5 circles drawn directly on the cloth. I used 3 strands of cotton floss through out. Used 3 shades of blue, green, lilac and pink shaded floss. Stitches used were Eyelet, Feather, Stem and Chinese Knots.

Actually I thought I would add a few twigs and leaves but ended up with this. I have not used Chineese knots before except for practicing the stitch. The stitch is easy and looks beautiful. So I could not stop my self and kept on adding them.
 I have altered the pattern and recorded as given below which is much easier to stitch. 
Here is the pattern for you. Hope you have liked it so far.

These designs were created by me. You can use them for your personal use only. If you use them, please send me the pictures of your work, which I will post on my blog or if you post them on your blog or site please link to the original pattern here on my blog and let me know about it.

I hope you will respect my request.

Thought I would do this series for a week. Now I will add some more patterns for another week. Let us see if I can go beyond that too....
