DIY Flower Embroidery

Printable template for this flower window embroider hoop!

See Vacations Are for Explorations post for more details on: *What materials you will need *How to set up your hoop *How to transfer the template to your fabric *How to finish the back of the project

Details for this project: *I used all six strands in the embroidery thread for everything *The only stitch I used on this hoop was the back stitch, see tutorial here: Back Stitch Tutorial

*I only drew the outline of the flower, not the shading *The template is for a 4 inch hoop, but it can be easily printed for a bigger sized hoop using the attachment above

Below are the colors that I used for this hoop (DMC Floss): Dark Pink – 352 Medium Pink – 3824 Light Pink – 353 Dark Green – 611 Light Green – 370 Navy – 823

DIY Embroidery

The first thing I did was transfer my template onto my fabric by tracing the template with a permanent marker. To do this I taped the template onto the back of my hoop and then put the hoop against a window (makeshift light box) and then traced out the main lines of the template.

I started with the navy outline (back stitch), then did the outline on the inside of the triangle, then lastly did small stitches for the “shading” in my last three colors.
