I’ve been playing lately with lots of hand embroidery and honing my floral skills! It’s been lots of fun to get into a needle art that’s not crochet.
So I filmed a super quick (like under 10 minutes) video tutorial on how to embroider this little rose and leaf with just DMC thread and a needle.
It’s so easy, you won’t believe you’ve never done it before.
Then you’ll skip off to embroider ALL the things.
All you’ll need are:
-DMC embroidery thread in peach (or the rose color of your choice), and green
-Medium sized embroidery needle
-A small swatch of linen or calico fabric (you can use cotton, but it won’t be as clean a finish)
-Chalk pencil
-Scissors
-Optional: Hot glue or craft glue to finish it off
Watch the video below to see how I did it, lickidy split!

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE! I was wondering how you were doing some of those! I didn’t realize it was so simple! I got into embroidery kindof as an afterthought, but I’m really liking all the possibilities, and its super portable! I don’t have any embroidery WIPs right now, but I’m looking for my next pattern to try something fun 🙂

Love this! I haven’t embroidered since I was little and I’ve been wanting to try again! This video makes it seem much less intimidating.
