Leaf Embroidery Pattern

$0.00

I designed this leaf embroidery pattern to embellish a basic linen skirt. It’s a simple design that would look nice as hoop art, an embellishment on a bag, or as a hand-stitched detail on a skirt or blouse. The organic shapes and lines make it easy to stitch, even for a beginner.

For a different look, you can experiment with other stitches or stitch around the leafy branch outlines.  My philosophy on embroidery is that the imperfections are what make the design unique. Don’t worry too much about getting all of the stitches straight or perfectly spaced. Just enjoy the process and add some love to your handmade projects!

  • Description

Product details

The pattern includes the design mirror images. You can transfer by tracing if your fabric is somewhat sheer. If your fabric is opaque or needs stabilizing, try using something like Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy. You’ll need an 8″ hoop if you use the design at full size, or you can scale it down when printing for a smaller size.

To stitch the design as I have, fill in the leaf shapes with horizontal running stitches. You can make several stitches at once by weaving your needle in and out of the fabric before pulling it all the way through. I used 3 strands of embroidery floss on white linen for this sample.

Instagram post 2193176466435226971_232207174 Warm & cozy. This is an older pattern that I reworked to fit in the Christmas collection I’m building with @smcnabstudio ‘s #christmasartcountdown prompts.

I wish I could order fabric and stich up a cute zipper pouch collection, but a mock-up will have to do for today 😊

Instagram post 2191506267319459831_232207174 These patterns for the #christmasartchallenge are for “snow” & “red”. The plaid ended up more pink than red for color balance, but I’m loving how this collection is coming together!

What do you think...festive notepads?

Thanks for organizing this @smcnabstudio 😊

Instagram post 2190280279549834279_232207174 Today’s prompt for the #christmasartcountdown with @smcnabstudio is “light”. I’m normally a white lights girl, but for a festive Christmas design I thought some retro colored lights would be fun!

I even made a gift wrap mock-up and coordinating ribbon design. What do you think...would you use gift wrap like this?

Instagram post 2190116868090358075_232207174 I’m participating in @smcnabstudio ‘s #christmasartcountdown this year. 
Yesterday’s prompt was “jolly”. I initially thought “tis the season to be jolly”, but ended up using another line from Deck the Halls for this design.

May your homes be filled with joyous song!

Instagram post 2186548202094497241_232207174 We’re stuck inside with the rain today, but we’re hoping for some nice weather this weekend. One of Thanksgiving traditions is a family hike!

Time in nature and away from the screens always provides inspiration and motivation to be creative.

Instagram post 2164095073994453782_232207174 I finally designed my own phone case!

This is my 3rd case from @society6 but I have always loved designs from other designers better than anything I designed myself. (The latest two were both from @patbravodesign 💕) This time I used one of my own designs and it just makes me happy. 😊 I know I have really found my signature style this year and I’m hoping to find time to put together a full surface design portfolio by the end of this year. And maybe a fabric collection someday...for my sewing friends 🙌🏻 #society6 #surfacepatterndesigner
Instagram post 2141433828682452245_232207174 I’ve been sketching a lot of bouquets lately, including the one in the pattern in my last post. This little bouquet seemed right for a housewarming card!

Do you still give paper cards to people? I haven’t as much since I got busy with little kids, but sending cards is a practice I’d love to add back in my life.

It seems like the gesture might mean even more to people now that it is more rare to get a handwritten note. 📝
