About this pattern

Long and short stitch creates a rich surface embroidery, used to fill areas of a motif; it’s like ‘painting’ with thread. It is a variety of satin stitch and is great for covering larger areas to create a neat, even result without distorting or puckering the fabric. Split stitch and chain stitch have also been incorporated into this pretty floral bird design which we've to decorate the back of a plain denim shirt.

Essentials

  • Denim shirt or jacket
  • Erasable marker pen or pencil
  • Embroidery hoop
