Sometimes the smallest discoveries make embroidery so much easier.
When I started working with detailed embroidery designs, transferring the pattern onto fabric was always one of the most challenging steps. Drawing directly on fabric is not always easy, especially when the design has many small details.
That is when I discovered water soluble stabilizer.
If you read my previous post, you already know how this project began—from a simple pencil sketch to a printed design, carefully transferred onto linen and ready for the first stitch.
Today, I'm happy to share the finished piece.
When I first started embroidering, I thought experienced stitchers never made mistakes.
I imagined every stitch was perfectly placed, every thread stayed smooth, and every project came together exactly as planned.
Now, after many finished pieces—and plenty of unfinished ones—I know that's simply not true.
Even today, I still make little mistakes.
A few weeks ago, I shared the beginning of this special project here on the blog.
At that stage, the embroidery was still just an idea slowly coming to life. A few floral stitches had appeared, delicate outlines were sketched onto the linen, and the tiny baby footprints were only beginning to take shape.
Today, I'm happy to share the finished piece.
Hello, summer!
The season of wildflowers, warm sunshine, open windows, and long creative evenings has finally arrived. And I can't think of a better way to welcome it than with a new embroidery project inspired by summer meadow flowers.
They begin with one tiny stitch.
One outline.
One thread.
One quiet thought:
“What if I try this idea?”
Back then, there was no YouTube, no endless blog posts, and definitely no Pinterest boards full of embroidery tips. I was just a beginner with a needle in my hand, a lot of excitement, and a lot of questions. I didn’t know what fabric to choose, which needles were “right,” or why my thread kept tangling like it had a mind of its own. I learned everything through trial and error, and I honestly wish someone had simply said: “Here’s the beginner embroidery supply list. Start with this.”
There’s something about the weeks leading up to Christmas that always inspires me to slow down.
The evenings feel quieter, candles stay lit a little longer, and my embroidery hoop somehow finds its way into my hands almost every night. It's my favorite time of year for small handmade projects—the kind you can finish over a few cozy evenings with a warm drink nearby.
This little Christmas tree ornament was one of those projects.
Every season seems to leave me with one flower I simply can't forget.
For autumn, it's always marigolds.
Every spring, I find myself reaching for softer colors.
The bright greens of new leaves, the first blossoms in the garden, and longer, lighter days always inspire me to start something new. This year, instead of decorating traditional Easter eggs, I wanted to create something that would last much longer than the holiday itself.
Прошло почти два месяца с последней публикации. Всё таки новогодние праздники для меня очень хлопотные. И вот я снова стала свободней и моё сезонное рукоделие - вышиваю и снимаю процесс. Если не сложно, поддержите меня и посмотрите. Я не против критики. Любой отзыв приветствуется!
Спасибо за внимание!
