Table Cloth - Chain Stitch

Hello readers, hope you are all doing well. 

In this post, I am presenting a beautiful table cloth. This hand-embroidered table cloth pattern done with only chain stitch. You can observe there are two lines of chain stitch is used, to make the outline thicker of this free-hand design.

To make the work simple I have done only outline instead of filling. In all the colours (i.e. blue, green and orange) two shades of threads are used. The outer one is with a dark shade and inner is the lighter one. Silk thread is used on cotton cloth.

 You may try this pattern, a very easy project and doesn’t take much time to finish. If you try this let me know your experience.

Hi, Readers

Hope you are all well.

This a beautiful peacock pattern of hand embroidery. The major part of this peacock pattern is done with long and short stitch. This stitch can be beautifully used in filling especially for blending of two or more colours.

In one of my earlier posts also you have observed peacock design. In both patterns, similar stitches and colour combinations are used. But the present one is a smaller design. So it has not taken much time to finish. This pattern can be used for wall hangings or table cloths.

The stitches used are long and short stitch for feathers with multi colour thread, stem stitch for other fillings, chain and satin stitch in between.

Rajasthani lady - Machine Embroidery

  Hi, readers How are you?
This design is a blend of machine embroidery with patchwork.  Machine embroidery is an art embroidery method in which a sewing machine or embroidery machine is used to make designs on cloths. It is faster compared to hand embroidery. Machine embroidery is mainly used for commercial purposes. In our collection, we have only two machine embroidery pattern. Soon I will post another pattern also.

This time I am posting one of the oldest patterns of our collection. This piece of art is done by my mother long back. Do you believe it is almost 30 years old? She preserved it so well.  

This Rajasthani lady portrait has vibrant colors and delicate work. It is one of my favourite piece of work. Hope you also like this.
