This master class will tell you how to embroider a pillow with silk ribbons. The main motif will be bright, sunny sunflowers.
Materials for embroidery
Before you begin, select all the necessarymaterials: the front side, on which will embroider, rear side airbags, a needle with a wide eye, hoop, marker for tissue and photo of our pattern, referring to that, we will embroider.
Ribbons should be bright, rich colors,so that the pillow embroidered with ribbons immediately attracts attention. For embroidery of petals, we choose silk or satin ribbons in yellow shades, for leaves and stems of various shades of green. For greenery they should be a little wider than for flowers.
The more shades will be used inwork, the more natural the embroidery will look. Since we will be making a decorative pillow that will become an exquisite piece of furniture, it needs to be beautifully decorated around the edges to give it a finished look. To do this, we will use a velvety cord for embroidery fringe, which we will use to trim the edges of the embroidered pillow after finishing the work. You can see in the photo what the finished product will look like after finishing the work.
The process of embroidering sunflower flowers with ribbons
Fix the fabric in the hoop and begin to work.
Before we start embroidering the pillow, we needmark the base so you know where to embroider each piece. This will be the embroidery pattern. To do this, draw the contours of the design onto the base using a disappearing fabric marker. We draw the outlines of flowers and leaves as they are shown in the photo. If you want to embroider sunflowers, the design of which you came up with yourself, it is important to remember that large fragments are always placed in the center of the embroidery, smaller ones at the edges. A master class on fabric marking can be viewed on our website.
Having drawn sketches of the drawing, we proceed topetal formation. We will embroider them with yellow ribbons. We fasten the ribbon of the selected color to the wrong side using a flat knot. It is done as follows: bend the tip a few millimeters, pierce it in the middle, pull the needle through this hole, pulling slightly. We get a flat square; any embroidery with ribbons is secured with such a knot.
We bring the needle to the front side, measure the lengthpetal, checking the diagram. Having measured the required length, we stick the needle closer to the top of the petal, bring it to the wrong side, without pulling, make sure that the ribbon does not twist. We should get a round-shaped air loop - a curl. What an embroidered curl should look like can be seen in the photo. If the curl turns out to be too flat, you can pick it up and pull it out with another needle.
A flower embroidered with ribbons should lookNaturally, therefore, the length of the stitches can be lengthened or shortened, and the ribbon can be turned over to the wrong side. We embroider all the flowers using these stitches with curls.
Embroidery core, leaves and stems
For embroidery core, we will use brown, you can combine different shades.
We secure the tape from the inside with a flat knot andbring it to the front side of the pillow. We wrap a ribbon around the tip of the needle, making two or three curls, stick it into the base next to the exit point of the needle, forming a round ball. We pull it to the wrong side, without tightening it too much, and we get a round knot with a depression in the middle. We fill the cores of all sunflowers with such knots. A master class on making various types of knots can be found on our website in the section dedicated to ribbon embroidery.
Now let's start embroidering the leaves.Leaf embroidery is done in various ways. We fasten the ribbon on the wrong side, bring it to the front side, twist (twist) several times to form a small elongated spiral, stick it into the fabric, making a straight stitch. When embroidering, stitch lengths need to be combined to make the greenery look natural. The stems of sunflowers are embroidered in the same way, only they are made longer and secured to the fabric with small stitches, using regular threads of the same shade. The leaves can also be embroidered using straight stitches, or using the same embroidery method used to form the petals.
Completeness and sophistication of any embroideryRibbons add small details, so regular embroidery can also be used in the work. Using floss of a suitable color, we embroider the veins on the leaves of the sunflower, on its petals, on the core, combining various seams. The more and more varied techniques we use in our work, the more exquisite the pillow embroidery will be.
