A simple master class for beginners will show you how to embroider an autumn leaf in the technique of "isolate".

Autumn is rich in holidays – Teacher's Day,Knowledge Day, Day of the Elderly. And all these are just official holidays. And the symbol of the autumn holidays is, of course, the autumn leaf. A bright multi-colored leaf, it is very festive in itself. The autumn landscape of the period of "golden autumn" or "Indian summer" is the brightest and most saturated in color of all the seasons. There is something mysterious and at the same time attractive in its beauty. Therefore, it is quite natural when we put a leaf on a postcard dedicated to the autumn holidays. There can be any techniques for making an autumn leaf. In this master class, I suggest you embroider a leaf using the "izonit" technique. This is quite a beautiful and even elegant technique. In any case, the postcard will turn out beautiful and unique. For work you will need:

  • a sheet of colored cardboard or velvet paper (on it embroidery will look chic),
  • sheet of white cardboard (the basis of the postcard),
  • sheet of writing paper,
  • graphite pencil (simple),
  • eraser (just in case),
  • an English pin (for piercing holes),
  • threads of autumn colors (shades of yellow, orange, red),
  • sewing needle,
  • scissors,
  • glue-pencil, compasses,
  • figured scissors.

Getting Started If you are new to this topic,If you are using the "isonit" technique, you should not be afraid of it. It is enough to master two embroidery techniques: a circle and an angle. When embroidering a leaf, we will need to embroider a circle. First, let's practice embroidering a circle on a separate sheet. 1. Draw a circle with a compass (small, with a diameter of about 8-10 cm). Divide the line into 16 equal parts (in half, each half in half again, each quarter in half again, and each 1/8 in half again).Embroidering an autumn leaf using the isonit technique. Photo #12.
