Sunflowers in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

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.

Tutorial - Folded Ribbon Rose

Image
  Once you have mastered  the basic folding  technique  of these Roses,  they can be created from a wide  variety of Ribbons. The photo above shows them in Satin Ribbon, Satin Ribbon / Organza Ribbon Combination  and Organza with  a Gold Thread Edge.    Hand Dyed Silk Ribbon 25 mm. For a much softer effect of course you would use  Silk Ribbon.  The Hand Dyed Silk Ribbons which are available in the wider  sizes are ideal for this.   The variance in colour through the  ribbon becomes  shading in the petals,  making it more  realistic. Ribbon Edged Organza Ribbon  20 mm.  1 :  Cut the Ribbon edge at an angle. Fold the ribbon forward diagonally,  leaving a tail.  2:   Fold over the ribbon starting from  the  right, making a firm centre for the rose. Stitch to hold in matching thread.   3:   Fold the ribbon diagonally...
