Design A Day-Day 3

Here I am with another small pattern. Today Day-3.This is a very simple and easy pattern.

 I started with this pattern drawing it directly on the cloth.
These were the 6 strand cotton floss I used for embroidery. I used only 3 strands.
Stitches I used were button hole pin wheel, buttonhole, chain, detached chain, stem stitches.
Here is the pattern for you slightly changed. 

These are the designs created by me. You can use them for your personal use only. If you use them, please send me the pictures 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. Please Don't Post the patterns on your site or blog. I hope you will respect my request.

Hope you like it. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, either leave a comment on my post or mail me.

Design A Day-Day 2

Day 2-here I am. I love Roses. So I tried one in a different way.


I drew the pattern directly on the cloth on one of the corners. In fact all my of patterns of these projects, I first drew them on the cloth, finished embroidery and then recorded my pattern on paper. Sometimes, I made changes in the pattern or the threads used or added more stitches as I was embroidering. I love this kind of freedom-that is starting with out any set pattern or colour scheme and improving upon as I progress. Well results may not always be good but this is a challenge which thrills me.

So the pattern may be  slightly different from the one I stitched.
 These were the two variegated cotton floss, 6 strand which I used. 
I used, chain, stem and detached chain and all 6 strands of the floss.
Here is the pattern for you. I think this will look good on blouses, children s' wear, Kurtis, pillow/cushion covers, and many more. You can use different stitches.

These designs were created by me. You can use them for your personal use only.
