Friday Free Patterns

Here is today's pattern

It is Sunflower embroidered on a pure cotton handkerchief. 

The base is pure cotton fabric. I have used Pearl cotton threads- single strand through out. 

I first embroidered the edge of the circle using dark brown thread and outline/stem stitch. Then I filled up the inside with Chinese knots using the same thread. 

Then, I used yellow thread to stitch the petals, using lazy daisy stitches, starting from one end and stitching around the circle and ending near the place I started. Note that the stitch anchoring the chain is a bit longer and I left a little space between the stitches.

Then using a shade lighter thread, circled each of the chain stitch, passing through the anchoring stitch of the chain. 

I stitched the stems using stem stitch and the leaves using satin stitch.

Stitches used: Stem, Lazy Daisy, Satin, Chinese Knots.

This pattern can be used on hand kerchiefs, blouses, children's frocks, kurtis or tunics, saris, hand and bath towels, table linen, kitchen linen and bed linen.

This is the pattern. You have to size it according to your requirement while printing this.

Hope you like this pattern.

Sunflower Birthday Card

Here is one more birthday card. The theme is sunflower, for sending some sunshine during this monsoon.

I have chosen, cream coloured shimmery card stock as base. I attached the self adhesive black and silver tape. Then I attached the sunflower dimensional sticker.

I added a few butterflies to make it more colourful. 

Then I stamped out the sentiment on a punched out circle from yellow hand made paper. I coloured the edge with yellow and orange pencils to match the sunflower and attached it with double sided foam tape to give it dimension.

This is very easy and simple to make.

Materials Used:

Cream coloured shimmery handmade paper

Black and Silver self adhesive tape

3D Sunflower Dimensional sticker

Butterfly Stickers

Yellow coloured hand made paper

Circle Punch

Sentiment Stamp

Black Ink

Yellow and Orange colour Pencils

Fairy Birthday Card

Hi there. Its been raining here for the past few days. Just showers on and off through out the day as well as night. It is all wet and muddy outside. I am not venturing out to markets unless it is absolutely necessary. 

So I am doing some cleaning and weeding out trash and also reorganising my huge stash of hobby materials, daily for some time. Then, I am spending time on my crafts and also trying out new recipes. 

Here is one more birthday card:

This card has been designed for a little girl.

I started with a soft pink textured card. First attached the blue printed tape. 

Do you believe in Fairies? I certainly do. I feel children should believe in Fairies and miracles. That is why I chose the Fairy theme and attached a fairy with the magic wand. 

What do little ones want on their birthday? Gifts, isn't it? So I attached a gift near the wand - as if the gift materialized by her magic. 

Then, I came across the wonderful dimensional sticker sentiment. This suited the theme of the fairy I chose. 

Next I stamped out the Birthday sentiment, on a circle punched it out of light blue hand made paper.

I always like CAS cards; easy to make and specially for children, I prefer not much clutter on the card.

I am making more cards but they are in various stages.

I don't much like the stamping part. It is all messy and I need to have all my supplies around me. One has to be very careful, in cleaning the stamps and our hands every time we stamp as there is always the danger of using an uncleaned stamp on an ink pad or smudging the greeting cards. 

So I am keeping the stamping part for the last. One day I will stamp out the various sentiments required for my finished cards.

Then there are also the envelopes. I am trying to make matching ones. Here the problem is getting the matching colour or design paper and in right thickness. Here we don't have the availability of materials is very limited and mostly what we want may not be available. So one has to make something out of the available ones.

If I have to post, it then, I have to keep in my mind the weight of the card along with the envelope.  Postage is costly. 

Hope you like my card.
