Additionally

Wire for flexible iris stems; water-soluble fabric - 2 pieces 20x20 cm; embroidery hoop with a diameter of 15 cm

Seams

Daisy stitch; reverse “piercing” seam; “extended stitch” seam; twisted "stretched stitch" seam; twisted “extended stitch” seam with a bend; seam “forward needle”; “tightly wound” seam; rose pattern; pattern "rose with cobweb"

Iris flowers

2For each iris you will need 55cm of pale yellow silk ribbon ("butter"), 7mm wide. Insert the ribbon into a #18 chenille needle.

Start with Iris 1, following the diagram provided.

3Petal 1: Pull the needle from the wrong side to the right side, leaving a 2 cm long “tail” on the wrong side. Make a fluffy free “daisy” stitch about 1.5 cm long. Bring the needle out again in the place where you started, piercing at the same time the one left on on the wrong side there is a “tail”, as shown in the figure.

4Make another daisy stitch, this time using a custard ribbon, over the first stitch; make the repeat stitch slightly shorter than the previous one to make the flower more voluminous.

5Follow petals 2 and 3 in the same way, although it is not necessary to use a double daisy stitch for the side petals.

6 To petal 4, add an “extended stitch” as a base to make the petal more fluffy. When you place a double daisy stitch on the base it will add extra volume. When inserting the needle into the back or right side of the work, turn the hoop over to see where the needle went before pulling the ribbon through. Be careful not to pierce the previous stitch. If this happens by accident, you will simply ruin it, because the fabric on which the flowers are embroidered will later dissolve and the stitches will become “airy”. Be sure to pierce the “tail”, securing the stitches, and make sure that it is always on the wrong side of the work.

Advice

Irises should be placed on water-soluble fabric about 1 cm apart. The fabric will dissolve later, so each petal must be carefully attached to the next one with a thin silk thread so that the flower does not fall apart.

7Similarly embroider irises 2 and 3. For the upper petals of each of these irises, add two “extended stitches”.

8Insert a single thread of yellow rayon into an embroidery needle and tie a knot at the end. Attach the iris petals to each other using elongated stitches in the center of each flower.

9 Turn the hoop over and use the needle to grab the remaining ends of the ribbon (“tails”), sewing them to one of the stitches on the wrong side. Trim off excess tape.

Iris buds

1Sew buds 4 and 5 in the same way as the top petal of the first iris, that is, using a #18 chenille needle with two daisy stitches, one on top of the other, but use only pale yellow ribbon (“butter”).

2Along the pale yellow stitches on the sides of the bud, make two more daisy stitches using yellow-green silk ribbon. Make green stitches shorter than yellow ones. Do not forget to pierce the “tails” with a needle.

3Secure the stitches and tails in the same way as when making the flower, and trim off the excess tape.

Freeing the flowers

1Cut out the iris flowers and buds, leaving 5mm of water-soluble fabric around the edges.

2Place the flowers in a glass of water. Let sit for 5 minutes until the fabric dissolves. Carefully remove the flowers from the glass.

3Put the flowers on a towel and let them dry.

Attaching flowers

1Sew the iris flowers to the base using small stitches using single yellow rayon thread, securing the center part of each flower.

2Attach the buds to the base using the same thread. If you want the bud to be more magnificent, grab the wrong side of the bud with a needle and sew it to the base, giving it volume.

Advice

Attach the buds to the fabric loosely, with just a few stitches, so that the wire stems can be inserted under them.

Iris stems

1You became familiar with the technique of making embossed stems while embroidering aloe flowers. Measure the amount of wire required for each iris stem and add another 1.5 cm.

2Secure the wire at the base of the iris and sew it with a “tightly wound” seam in the same way as for aloe. Use double mustard green silk thread and a straw needle. When finished, insert the needle into the winding stitches.

3 Do not attach the stems to the irises so that they do not disturb you until the leaves are ready.

Iris leaves

1Referring to the drawing, first make several leaves from yellow-green organza. For the long leaves behind the stem of Iris 1 and under Iris 2, use a twisted “extended stitch” stitch

2For the outline of iris leaves 1, take mustard green silk (“millet”). Sew the edges of the leaves with small stitches using a “forward needle” seam (this fixes the tape to the fabric and produces a flatter leaf).

3 Stick the wire stems under the flowers and buds. Secure each stem with a needle and silk thread left in it. Using yellow-green silk ribbon, embroider small leaves on the stem with a bud using 4 thin elongated daisy stitches.

4Using a twisted pull stitch using 6mm organza ribbon, stitch the remaining leaves from bottom to top. As you do this, overlap the wire stems with leaves where they intersect. Using a single mustard green silk thread, using small stitches using a “forward needle” stitch, sew the outline of the leaves, giving them a bend in the right places.

Small roses

1Make two flowers from a coral-colored ribbon in a “rose with cobweb” pattern, using the pattern to determine where to place them. At the desired point, use a straw needle to make warp stitches using a single red-purple silk thread (“dark fuchsia”), and then use a No. 20 chenille needle to pull a coral silk ribbon between the warp threads.

2 Make two rose patterns using lilac-pink chameleon ribbon.

3Use green ribbon to embroider leaves using a daisy stitch.

4At the base of the irises and between the roses, use a straw needle to make “French knots” with double mustard green silk thread to give the embroidery a more prominent shape. Add French knots between the rose leaves using double dark fuchsia thread.

Forget-me-nots

1Thread a #20 chenille needle with indigo blue silk ribbon and embroider the forget-me-not petals using flat reverse piercing stitches. In the center of each flower, add tiny French knots of yellow rayon (single strand, single wrap). To do this you will need an embroidery needle.

2Depict individual petals with single “French knots” using blue silk ribbon (“indigo”, one winding). Between the forget-me-nots, add French knots with red-purple and mustard-green silk threads and embroider a few leaves with a daisy stitch with green silk ribbon (“bush”).

For those who, together with the Cross Stitch, are mastering the basics of ribbon embroidery, the master class will teach you how to perform simple basting stitches, as well as basting stitches with wrapping, which are also called twisted stitches.

Basting stitches or entwined basting (as embroiderers also call them) are used mainly when embroidering flower stems.

The stems are voluminous and very beautiful. Therefore, it will not hurt for beginners to embroider with ribbons to master the technique of making basting stitches!

Simple basting stitch

Even a novice needlewoman will not have any problems with this stitch, because it is essentially the “forward needle” stitch familiar to many, only here we embroider with ribbons instead of thread.

In order for your stitches to be even and beautiful, they should be longer than the width of the ribbon.

Fasten the ribbon on the wrong side and make as many stitches as you need. The main thing here is to tension the tape correctly and make equal spaces between stitches (from B to C).

Wrapped basting stitch

The entwined basting stitch is made from a simple basting stitch.

1. After making a basting stitch using a ribbon of the same color, secure the ribbon to the wrong side.

2. Attach a ribbon of a different color at the beginning of the track (you can take a ribbon of a darker shade than the main color, or lighter - it’s your choice). Pull the tape up.

3. Pull the needle and ribbon under the main stitch. The tape should twist freely.

4. Through the second main stitch from top to bottom, pass the ribbon again. The second tape should not tighten the main one.

5. Having completed the row, secure the ribbon and straighten it with a needle.

This is what an entwined basting looks like when embroidered with ribbons of the same color:

1. Using a simple basting stitch, secure the ribbon to the wrong side.

3. Second row. Change the color of the ribbon to a contrasting one. You can take a narrower ribbon, then your stitch will turn out to be three-color.

4. Repeat steps 2-5 of the single wrap, but this time placing the third tape on top of the second.

When wrapping, adjust the degree of tension of the tape yourself, but the base fabric should not be pulled.

If your ribbons are the same width, then the main ribbon will not be visible and the stitch will turn out to be two-color, but it will be more voluminous.

If all 3 ribbons are the same color, then you will achieve excellent volume, but playing with color in this case will no longer work.

Master class on ribbon embroidery of a wicker basket

Now see how you can embroider a wicker basket using simple basting and wrap stitches.

Use tailor's chalk to draw the outline of the basket and its handle. Then, starting from the bottom up, make long stretches so that the tape lays evenly, slightly overlapping the previous row.

Then, using a simple basting stitch, follow the line of the basket handle and wrap it around it in the manner we already know.

The same basting stitch will help create an imitation of a wicker basket. Fasten the tape from the wrong side, bring it to the front side and sew the seam “forward with the needle”, passing the tape alternately UNDER and OVER the horizontal rows of ribbons.

Embroidered paintings depicting flowers (violets, forget-me-nots, pansies) can decorate any interior. Embroidery of wild flowers or embroidery of pansies looks especially impressive. A composition with elegant small flowers embroidered from satin stripes will serve as a wonderful gift.

You can use ribbons to embroider not only lush roses: garden daisies, sunny cosmos, bright dandelions - all these flowers will wonderfully decorate embroidered panels and pictures. A bouquet of such flowers in a vase looks lovely, and an embroidered umbrella with flowers is also very cute. You can choose a design for your future embroidery on the Internet for free, print it out and create your own embroidered masterpiece based on it.

A master class on embroidering flowers with satin ribbons, as well as patterns for embroidered paintings, can also be easily found on the Internet.

In order to make embroidery from satin ribbons with images of flowers, it is necessary, first of all, to carefully study the diagram of the selected work, and also attend or watch a training master class on video. It is advisable for the master class leader to explain the technology of embroidering flowers with satin in as much detail as possible. Before embroidering flowers, you should prepare everything you need. You will need:

• Scheme of work, preferably in color. To make embroidering more convenient, the pattern can be printed on a printer in an enlarged form.
• A hoop or stretcher to stretch the embroidery base.
• Needle and thread.
• Base fabric for work.
• Embroidery ribbons. You can take regular satin ones, but the best ones are special ones for embroidery, which are sold in handicraft stores.
• Baguette or passe-partout for decorating an embroidered composition.

If there is a video with a training master class, before you start making an embroidered picture, the content of the master class can be noted in detail. In order for the result to meet expectations, you must carefully follow the scheme. Experienced craftswomen can draw a diagram on their own; for beginners, it is better to take a ready-made version.

Embroidery with ribbons of flowers: master class

Very popular among embroiderers daisy images. To make the flowers look natural, swirl stitches are used to make daisies. The middle is usually embroidered with yellow floss threads; the most popular stitch for making the middle of a daisy is the “rococo” stitch.

Poppies also look impressive. Embroidering poppies is very simple: you need to take scarlet threads and sew the flower petals in one row, leaving a place in the center for the embroidered center. The middle can be embroidered using black or dark brown threads.

To make stems and leaves, satin ribbons of various shades of green are used, depending on the overall color of the picture. If you twist the green ribbon several times while sewing. It will curl into a flagellum, and you will get a very elegant thin stem or leaf.

Ribbon embroidery of pansies

Floral motif "pansies" enjoys constant popularity in ribbon embroidery. To make pansies you will need soft satin ribbons in the following colors: purple, hot pink and light yellow. To make leaves and stems you will need light green ribbons. Before work, it is recommended to singe the ends of the tapes over a fire so that they do not fray.

The ribbon should be folded at a ninety-degree angle and secured with a sewing pin. Then take another ribbon, a longer one, and bend its ends so that they look down. Secure with sewing pins. Next, you need to sew both pieces using a basting stitch, carefully fold them together and sew them to each other. The rest of the flowers should be done in the same way. The number of pansies can be arbitrary, depending on the size of the composition, but a large field of small graceful flowers looks most impressive. Next, you should use green ribbons to cover the leaves and stems.

Embroidery of forget-me-nots with ribbons: master class

Blue forget-me-nots will not leave anyone indifferent. This flower is traditionally one of the most popular embroidery motifs. A composition with the image of forget-me-nots will perfectly decorate a tablecloth, pillowcase, or children's dress.

To make forget-me-nots, you will need bright blue satin ribbons, as well as light green ribbons for the leaves and stems. The centers can be embroidered with yellow threads interspersed with black threads. The more forget-me-nots and the smaller their size, the more impressive the finished picture will look.

The most suitable seam for sewing leaves and stems is seam using a curl. Curls make flowers look more natural. To get the thinnest and most graceful stem possible, the ribbon can be twisted several times to form a thin flagellum.

A forget-me-not flower has five petals. All five loops must be the same size for the flower to look beautiful and symmetrical. When the flowers are ready, you can embroider the yellow centers with floss threads. The tighter the knot is tightened, the smaller the size of the finished flowers. And, conversely, the looser the knot, the larger the forget-me-nots will be. The size of the flowers depends on the composition and preferences of the craftswoman. The picture with many small forget-me-nots looks most impressive.

In order for the result to meet expectations, you must keep in mind important practical recommendations:

Embroidery with satin ribbons opens up limitless scope for creativity. The main thing when doing work is attentiveness, patience and perseverance. It is also important to have artistic taste. And then work will bring pleasure.

FORGET ME NOT. How many legends have been invented about this delicate flower with a poetic name.
But I like this one.
They say that Forget-Me-Not holds the whole world within herself. In the very middle of it there are yellow stamens - the Sun, and around blue petals - the Sky. There is a belief that Angels, flying over the Earth, drop blue flowers on it so that people do not forget about Heaven. That's why it's called FORGET-MENT.

Smooth, rigid stem; long leaves;
lilac buds;
blue petals and the yellow sun of stamens...

Let's try embroidering?..

Consider the diagram. It presents
already familiar seams:

seam No. 1 “stitch with a curl” is a little complicated;

seam No. 3 "knot";

seam No. 6 "twisted";

And,finally, seam No. 8, which we will study today is:

"loop under the spine".

We will embroider the stem using a “twisted” stitch and consolidate our skills; We will embroider leaves using a “curl stitch”, just complicate it a little; "nodules" - the centers of flowers and buds; and using a new “loop under the spine” stitch we will create petals.

The complexity of this work lies only in its elegant size. The height of the stem is 15-16 cm, the diameter of the inflorescence is 2 cm or less.


For embroidery you will need 6-7mm ribbons: blue, yellow, lilac, 2 types of green (if available). Floss threads or simple cotton threads of light blue color.

Transfer the pattern onto the fabric. Determine the direction of the stem, branches, leaves, mark the centers of flowers and buds.

Let's start with embroidering the stem.
Using light green tape, place a “twist” stitch along the drawn lines of the stem and its shoots.

Now let's study stitch "loop under the spine".
Pull the needle and ribbon onto the right side of the fabric next to the marked center circle.

Straighten the tape. Now insert the needle close to the point where it came out, right “under the very spine” of the tape.

Pull the tape from the wrong side, determining the desired stitch size. Pin it in place with a safety pin so you don't accidentally pull the stitch when you sew the next seam.

Continue moving around the circle, forming stitches and securing them with pins.

Having made 5 petal loops, fasten the ribbon on the wrong side.

These are the “spine loops”!

Using yellow tape, make a “knot” in the middle and pull it up. And then, using light threads, sew along a “ray” from the “knot” to each petal.Pull the thread through the ribbon and fabric.

Thus, we brought the flower embroidery closer to its original and secured the seams to the fabric.

To embroider a bud, take a lilac ribbon. We will embroider the buds with knots.
To make the “knot” elongated, insert the needle with turns not next to it, as usual, but 5-7 mm from the spine.

How cool embroidered forget-me-nots look, just look! Today we will learn this.

We will need the following materials:
- textile;
- hoop;
- white floss threads;
- needle with a large eye;
- blue, yellow, lilac, 2 shades of green ribbon 6 mm wide.

Here is a diagram of the future flower. It shows several types of seams that are used when embroidering with ribbons:

1 – “stitch + curl”, 3 – “knot”, 6 – “with twist”, 8 – “loop at the base”.
We will need number 6 with a twist to work on the stem, number 1 we will embroider leaves, the knots will be useful for the centers of forget-me-nots and buds. Using seam No. 8, we will make petals. The work is not difficult at all. The only difficulty may be its miniature size. The length of the stem is 14-15 cm, the size of the flowers is up to 2 cm in diameter.

First we will mark the pattern on the fabric. Estimate the direction of growth of the stem and its branches, leaves, and mark the location of the inflorescences and buds on the fabric.

Let's start with the stem. Using green tape of a lighter shade, you need to lay a seam along the outlined lines of the stem and its branches.

But now we need a seam called “loop to base” (or “to spine”). Insert the needle with the ribbon from the inside out onto the face near the place where the middle of the forget-me-not is planned.

Straighten the ribbon well. Insert the needle close to the place where you removed it, that is, to the very base of the ribbon.

From the inside, you need to tighten the ribbon in accordance with the required stitch size (and petal). Secure with a pin so that the petal does not become deformed when you sew the next seam.

Now let's embroider the yellow center. Use a yellow ribbon to make a knot in the middle of the forget-me-not and tighten it. Now let’s take white floss threads and make a ray stitch from the middle along each petal. This will not only add liveliness to our forget-me-nots, but will also make embroidery more practical - it will protect the petals from deformation.

Carefully secure the seams to the fabric. Now we will embroider the buds. We will need purple ribbon. We will again use a knot stitch. To make the seam slightly elongated, the needle must be inserted at a distance of 6 mm from the base of the tape. It is important to remember that if you want the bud to be larger, you do not need to tighten the knot. In addition, the more turns of ribbon you make on the needle, the larger the bud will be.

Now let's move on to the leaves. Using a green ribbon of a darker shade, embroider the leaves using a stitch + curl stitch. The leaf should turn out elongated and upside down, as in the photo.

Hooray! What a beautiful forget-me-not we got!
