Silk Ribbon Embroidery Design

 

Petite Rose Corsage

 Running Stitch / French Knot Combination

A simple way to make your work shine and step up a 

notch is to make use of a Hand Dyed Ribbon / Variegated

 Ribbon. The changes in colour as you progress gives the

 finished result more dimension and reality. 

Plus I feel the dye adds a stiffness to the ribbon and

 presents the petals in a firmer way. This is a Stitch which

 can be executed with 4 mm or 7 mm or even

(13 mm with some patience and difference in appearance ).

My preference is in 7 mm. which is used in this instance.

Using a plain silk dupioni or another fabric with a loose weave.

Follow the images below or go to my earlier post -

SRE- Running Stitch / French Knot Combination 

Add some Ribbon Stitch Petals, Leaves, Wrapped Stem Stitch 

 and the Corsage is complete. Additionally you could add small 

beads to the Rose Centres or scattered between the roses. 

Turn your completed embroidery into a Fragrance Pouch and 

fill with Rose Petal Potpourri, Book or Phone Cover, or add it 

to your Crazy Quilting Blocks.
