About this pattern

This project uses seed stitch to create a pretty cloud design with inspirational words below in split stitch. Hang it with ribbon to instantly brighten up a room.One of a family of detached stitches, seed stitch is useful for covering an area of a motif with pattern and texture. The name refers to the fact that they resemble small seeds. They are best worked on an opaque fabric, as the thread is carried across the back of the work and if it is too fine or transparent, threads will show through from the front.

Essentials

  • Pale blue linen, 30cm square
  • Embroidery hoop, 26cm diameter
  • Six stranded embroidery thread, white, navy
  • Silver metallic embroidery thread
  • Crewel needle
  • Coordinating ribbon, 50cm
