Lavender in Silk Ribbon - French
A flower quite often worked in Silk Ribbon Embroidery on Perfume Sachets, Pillows, gifts bags etc. It is an easy flower to replicate in SRE and can be created in a few different ways. You may have seen a much simpler design with the flower petals fanning out as a leaf. However, I prefer to put a little more effort into the design myself. So this is my impression. 1: Mark out a simple design as pictured, these are then worked in Stem Stitch with 2 strands of embroidery thread. I have used a Forest Green. 2: The flower heads are created in this instance with 4 mm. Cascade House Silken Ribbon 5300 Ribbon Stitch beginning at the tip of the stalk and working backwards up the stem. Have the hoop with the flower tip closest to you. 3: Each Ribbon Stitch is made at a slight angle, loose and full ( not flat on the fabric ) ....
