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.
