 Carol Daisy Crafts Blog! will be more of a focus
for me now as I get to spend more time crafting.
I shall spend time filming videos of SRE Stitch
tutorials to add to the posts on the
Silk Ribbon Embroidery site
hopefully making them easier to follow.
Should my SRE blog have had a positive
influence on your Embroidery skills, and
you would love to find more ways to put
your knowledge to work, please join
me on the

Carol Daisy Crafts Blogspot.




As an Aquarian, I have a creative side and a

desire to discover new possibilities.

Silk Ribbon Embroidery has been a love of mine

but my inquisitive nature has taken me to

discover more, including ways of adding SRE to

other projects. I would really love for you

to join me on this journey and hopefully discover

interests and Inspiration for yourselves.

Finding a feeling of peace in the Therapy of Crafting.



Unleash your creativity and imagination as I share

my crafting journey through various forms of

textile arts and embroidery, featuring

Sunflowers in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

-
Image
Re-creating a flower with a raised centre  as in the Cosmos Tutorial The Silk Ribbon I am using is a  hand dyed Dinky Dyes 4 mm. Wattle. One flower took less  than 1 metre. There are many varieties of Sunflowers with a varying number of petals,  but for this exercise I am  creating  24 Petals. So logically you need to average  6 petals in each quarter, slightly  crossing over into the next.  1 : On Main Fabric -  Mark out a circle for the  Sunflower with a diameter of  3.5 cm - 1 1/4 inches and an inner circle of  1.5 cm - 1/2 inch  Button: As per the Cosmos  Tutorial make the  centre of the  Sunflower, by working  it  separately on a piece  of calico or cotton. (Placed firmly in a Hoop )  marking the area  the same  size 1.5 cms. ( 1/2 inch).       2: Using Embroidery Thread,  fill the calico button   with...

Viola in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

-
Image
As I promised in my earlier posting of Pansies in SRE, this is my version of a Viola flower. Please keep in mind that I have worked this in  7 mm. ribbons to make it easier to see on your monitors. I feel these would be so much more delicate and  effective in a 4 mm. ribbon. For the purpose of stitching this flower I have marked  out a  circle with a diameter of 20 mm.   Three Ribbon Stitches in Purple.  1 o'clock,  12 o'clock  11 o'clock slightly overlapping the previous one. Keep the Ribbon Stitches as rounded at the tips as  possible, shaping them around your fingernail.   Two Ribbon Stitches in Cream,  with the tip of the petal just outside the marked  circle. 1- Between 2 and 3 o'clock     1 - Between 9 and 10 o'clock. Change over to Lemon Ribbon Two stitches at 5 o'clock and  7 o'clock.  Making these slightly longer than the previous two. With a single strand of black embroidery th...

Silk Ribbon Embroidery Tutorial - Tulips

-
Image
TULIPS Simply constructed in Ribbon Stitch, the effect of  the petals are  changed by  using Side Ribbon Stitch.  Instead  of taking the needle  through the centre of  the ribbon,   place the eye of the needle on the  left or  right seam  of the ribbon.  As the needle is pulled  through  the   ribbon curls toward the entry point,  thus  giving the  petal   a  slight  rolled edge.  1: Firstly a ribbon stitch for the centre.  2: Make 2 more ribbon stitches for the outer petals, just slightly shorter length than the centre.  3: The stem is tightly twisted ribbon as  in the iris  next add some leaves. Using a hand dyed ribbon, the colours  can be changed  as you progress to the  o uter petals. Even to the point   that   the  ribbon can be cut into sections, so  you  have  the...
