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

Hope You like It
