 This is taken from an earlier Lingerie Pouch
 I had as a Kit.
The flowers can be linked together with 
stem stitch woven  through for the branches 
and Fly Stitched leaves.





Notes for Guidance:
As the work area is so concentrated, do not skip over stitching down your ribbons, it is far too easy to catch 
other areas and pull through your previous stitches.
If you wish to replicate the full design or part of,
 you may find it easier to do all of the bases 
that are the one colour at a time.
Then progress to all the top petals and lastly the green tips.
