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.

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.

Design A Day-Day 6

Day-6: Here I am once again. This is my 6th handkerchief. All the patterns I have tried so far are simple, small and easy to embroider. I took only half an hour to complete one hand kerchief-that is from drawing the pattern to finishing my embroidery.

 I started with the pattern drawn directly on the cloth.
I have used Pearl cotton thread. I have used one more shade of light green, which is not shown in the picture.

Stitches used were Stem and Detached Chain. With just two stitches and two colours, I could get this beautiful floral embroidery. 
Here is the pattern for you. You can use different colours and stitches as per your choice.

Hope you have liked my patterns so far. 

If you use these patterns, please send me the pictures, or post it on you blog/site and let me know.

Design A Day-Day 5

Here is Day-5. With many power cuts, I have to schedule all my tasks within the short time that power is supplied. So I am posting it very late today. Sorry for that.
As usual started with the pattern drawn directly on the cloth.
These were were 6 strand cotton floss I used. I used 3 strands mostly except for the stems and few leaves where I sued all 6 strands.
After stitching the three big flowers, I added two small ones. One more colour- pale pink floss was also used. 

Stitches used were: Stem, Chain, Detached Chain, Eyelet, star stitch and French Knots. For the bigger flowers, I used eyelet and French knots. For the smaller ones, I used star or double cross stitch. 

My eye let stitch used for the bigger flowers was not at all satisfactory. I could have done much better. Perhaps I should have used only two strands instead of three. I wanted to do them again but finally decided to let them be. 
So this is the final pattern. Try it out and see. You can use any other stitches you like. 

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.

Design A Day-Day 4

So far so good. I could post for three days with out interruption, which is a great achievement for me :). Well here is the Day-4 Pattern.
 I started with this pattern drawn directly on the cloth.
I used these colours of 6 strandcotton floss. I used 3 strand for the center and petals and 6 strand for the stem and leaves. Stiches used: Chain and Straight stitches.
Actually for the petals I just wanted to use a few straight stitches. But it was not up to my satisfaction. So I went on adding straight stitches round and round and it ended up  like this.

Here is the pattern for you.
Well you can just mark these four lines (for guidance) as shown below for the petals instead of drawing all the petals and add stitches one after another. 

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 in the next posts......
