About this pattern

There are lots of ways to add texture to your embroidery and here is a lovely raised stitch with two simple variations: woven and whipped wheel. Both versions are made in two stages, beginning with a set of foundation stitches that pass through the fabric, before thread is woven in and out. Once you have mastered this, you can begin to make these sweetie jar labels, adding wording worked in chain stitch.

Essentials

  • Fabric: cotton, plain
  • Thread: embroidery, six-stranded,
  • bright colours; sewing, coordinating
  • Needle: crewel; tapestry; sewing
  • Ribbon, satin, narrow, 70cm

    Create a sweetie label

    1. Measure the girth of a jar by wrapping a tape measure around it at the widest point to give you the length of your label, then measure the depth of the widest part of the jar to give you the height. Draw a rectangle of these dimensions on a piece of cotton fabric. The labels shown here measure 6.5cm x 30.5cm and 5.5cm x 29cm.

    2. Transfer the lettering of your choice onto the centre of the label. Then using coins or buttons of various sizes as templates, draw a random scattering of circles around the lettering, within the rectangle, making sure they are not too close to the edges.

    3. Stretch the fabric in
