Folded Rose / Gathered Combination

-

 



Should you wish to create as above, first stem stitch

 the stem of the rose.

 1: Referring to the Tutorial for Folded Ribbon Rose

Create in 7 or 13 mm. Silk Ribbon a small Folded

 Ribbon Rose for the centre.

Put aside keeping the threaded needle attached.


 2:  With water erasable pen, mark a small circle. Thread a 20 cm length of the ribbon into

the eye of the needle.  ( No need to thread completely as this is only to draw the ribbon through the fabric).

 3:  As in the Carnation Tutorial gather the ribbon into petals, stitching each down.



Follow the outside of the circle marked and you have the 

option of two rows of gathering as I have done or just one. 




4: Re-thread the ribbon in the Chenille Needle. Take the ribbon through to the back. At the same time the last gathered petal is stitched into place. With a wet cotton bud, wash out the pen line. Allow to dry.

5:  Make a whole in the centre of the gathered ribbon.




6. With the premade Folded Ribbon Rose place the ends

 into the eye of the Chenille Needle and take through

to the centre. You may have to push the tails of the

 folded rose through to the back, gently pull into 

position. Stitch down with the thread at the 

 back of your fabric.

 7:  With 7 mm. Green Ribbon add Ribbon Stitch Leaves.

Instructions for the Rosebud on another post.

 For more clarity on the gathering you may wish 

to read the Carnations Tutorial.

Sunflowers in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

Hi  Everyone,  Sorry it has been so long.  You know what it is like,  not enough hours in the day. You have your day planned out and  then *** bingo, it takes a whole new direction.  These days most of my time seems to be taken up with administration and not so much time actually doing SRE.  It is so peaceful to just spend the time working with Silk Ribbons, sometimes I even get withdrawal symptoms. I took some photos of these brilliant Sunflowers while in Brisbane earlier this year. So large bright and cheery, even with showers threatening overhead. The Silk Ribbon I am using is a  hand dyed Dinky Dyes 4 mm. Wattle. Available from   Daisys Garden Online. 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 P...

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. Step 1: Three Ribbon Stitches in Purple. 1 st. - 1 o'clock 2 nd. - 11 o'clock 3 rd. - 10 o'clock slightly overlapping the previous one. Keep the Ribbon Stitches as rounded at the tips as possible, shaping them around your fingernail. Step 2: Complete Two Ribbon Stitches in Cream, with the tip of the petal just outside the marked circle. 1 st. - Between 2 and 3 o'clock 2 nd. - Between 9 and 10 o'clock. Change over to Lemon Ribbon 3 rd. - 5 o'clock 4 th. - 7 o'clock. Making these slightly longer than the previous two. With a single strand of black embroidery thread ,...

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. As with Iris the leaves are stitched in the same manner. With a fold, curled, straight, or twisted. Step 1: Using a side stitch for the centres. Step 2: Make 2 more ribbon stitches for the outer petals, just slightly shorter length than the centre. Step 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 outer petals. Even to the point that the ribbon can be cut into sections, so you have the variance in colour needed at each step. Hint: By placing fo...
