Free Decorative Embroidery PDF Pattern

Today I would like to share a free embroidery pattern which I created. This motif will look attractive when stitched as a repeated design along the edges of curtains, table cloths, or skirts. You can also embroider it on bibs, tote bags, cushion covers, or even t-shirts. Here is the pattern:



This is just a rough sketch which I drew just 20 mins before.

Here is the one I drew using the graphic software, to give you some color ideas.








Suggestions for the stitches to be used:

For the flower center use, french knots or satin stitch. For the layer around the center, use buttonhole or satin stitch of contrast color, or you can fill it with two rows of stem stitch or chain stitch. The leaf-like petals can be stitched with satin stitch. I you want to have two color shades you can fill it up with long and short. You can also just outline the pattern with chain stitch or back stitch. 

Sew a shisha mirror at the center and beads arround the leaves or inside the leaves for an embellished look.

I have not tried this design yet. However, if you try this, please send your work to this email id: flora.flowers.boo@gmail.com. I would be happy to show your work to others.

Also follow up with the upcoming posts. I have plans to provide a lot of free designs. I will update on the progress of my sweet pea project tomorrow. Happy stitching. Have fun.
