About this pattern

We’ve use fern stitch to create a stunning embroidered dreamcatcher, which Native Americans believe will trap negative dreams and only allow pleasant ones through. With lettering and a web of threads worked in split stitch, hang it above your bed for sweet dreams. Fern stitch is ideal for leaves, petals and feathers. Composed of a series of three straight stitches, it’s really easy and quick to do, but looks very effective. It forms a lacy appearance and can follow a straight or curved line.

Essentials

  • White or ivory linen, 35cm x 45cm
  • Erasable marker pen
  • Embroidery hoop
  • Six stranded embroidery thread coral, royal blue, bright green, grey
  • Crewel needle
  • Picture frame, approximately 27cm x 33cm

    Stitch a dreamcatcher

    1 Download the template. Print and trace onto paper. Transfer the design onto the fabric centrally, with an erasable marker. If you cannot see the lines through the fabric, try using a light box, or tape the paper and fabric to a window.

    2 Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop. If the whole design doesn’t fit, work on a small area at a time, adjusting the position when necessary.
