I offer you a master class on flower embroidery innon-traditional technique of volumetric embroidery with satin stitch. It is aimed primarily at students in grades 7-9 and will be useful for technology teachers, teachers of additional education, and all creative people. This embroidery can be used in different ways. It can be a handmade gift, a decorative ornament for clothes, interior, and so on. A few words about the history of embroidery Embroidery is the decoration of fabric with an embroidered pattern. This craft has its roots in ancient times. As early as the 14th-15th centuries BC, it was practiced by craftswomen of Ancient Egypt. A ceremonial royal robe embroidered with a colored ornament was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. In Peru, embroidery was used to decorate fabrics 8 centuries BC. In China, green silk fabrics embroidered with multi-colored plant and animal patterns were made in the 1st-3rd centuries. A red-figure Greek vase (450 BC) depicts an embroiderer working with a trapezoid hoop. At that time, two embroidery techniques were known: satin stitch and cross stitch. Both wealthy women and slaves were engaged in embroidery. They embroidered scarves, bedspreads, and chitons. Slaves embroidered for sale, and city women - for entertainment. In Ancient Rus', embroidery with gold threads was known since the 11th-12th centuries. Initially, embroidery was practiced by women of noble families and nuns, but gradually the art of embroidery began to spread among all strata of the population and became the main occupation of peasant girls. Embroidery techniques, patterns, and their colors were improved from generation to generation. Free satin stitch embroidery is the embroidery of a plane of a pattern partially or completely with straight or oblique stitches. Volumetric satin stitch embroidery is made on the basis of double-sided and artistic satin stitch. In this technique, you can make a wall panel, a boutonniere, a decoration for a hairpin, etc. I suggest embroidering the queen of flowers - a rose. People have composed many poems, legends and fairy tales about this flower. Persia is considered the birthplace of the rose. In ancient Persian, the word "rose" literally means "spirit". It was loved, worshiped, and sung about since time immemorial. The rose - the queen of flowers - is an object of admiration, worship and ardent love. The very first information about the rose can be found in ancient Hindu legends: it was so honored in ancient India that there was even a law according to which anyone who brought a rose to the king could ask him for whatever he wanted. There are many legends about the birth of the rose. According to one, it was born from the snow-white foam that covered Aphrodite's body. Seeing this lovely flower on her, the gods immediately sprinkled it with nectar, giving it a wonderful aroma. According to another legend, the rose was created by the goddess Chloris, turning a dead nymph, whom she failed to revive, into a beautiful flower with the attractiveness of Aphrodite, the intoxicating aroma of Dionysus, the joy and brightness of the Graces... There are many legends about how the white rose became red. So we will embroider a red rose.Materials and tools: For embroidery using the 3D satin stitch technique, you will need the following materials, tools and equipment:
- thread of a mulina of red and green hues,
- needles number 2-5, thimble,
- scissors,
- embroidery frame with a diameter of 15-20 cm,
- simple pencil,
- non-woven fabric,
- wire for weaving beads with a diameter of 0.3 mm.
Sequence of making the product Draw and cut out the templates of petals and leaves. The number of petals and leaves is chosen independently depending on the expected volume of the bud.
Stretch the interlining in a hoop.
Trace the petal (or leaf) template ontothe back side of the interlining. Place the wire along the outline of the image, crossing the ends of the wire 1.5-3 cm long at the base of the piece. Sew the wire in place with single-threaded threads.
Turn the hoop with the interlining over to the front sideside. Using double folded threads, embroider the edge of the piece, capturing the wire, with a loop stitch alternating short and long stitches from the center, first in one direction, then in the other.
Fill the detail field with double-sided satin stitchalternating short and long stitches. You can use threads of the same color as the loop stitch threads. You can use artistic satin stitch techniques with a chiaroscuro effect.
Using a single thread, make individual shading strokes on the field of the detail, fanning them out from the base.
Use manicure scissors to cut out the product detail close to the buttonhole seam. In doing so, be careful not to touch the embroidery threads.
If the product is intended for a celebration, sew the contours of the parts with beads using an “over the edge” stitch, stringing 2-3 beads on a needle.
Embroider all the petals.
Embroider the leaves in a similar manner.
Collect all the petals together.
Collect the leaves into a twig.
Fasten the flower and leaves together by twisting the ends of the wire together.
For a boutonniere, attach a pin to the wire.
To decorate a hair clip or headband, you need to attach the finished flower to the base using wire or universal glue.
If you attach a flower to a stem (for example, to a cocktail straw), you can put it in a vase and use it to decorate your interior.
Based on this technique, you can make a variety of flowers. You just need to use your imagination a little!
I wish you good luck!
