The butterfly
You will find information regarding the download of the drawing or the purchase of the printed fabric and the silk threads in the previous article.
In the explanations, I used the DMC color numbers but for those of you who chose to embroider with the Silk threads, please find here the list of the corresponding numbers between the DMC threads and the “Soie d’Alger” threads.
DMC – Soie d’Alger
3371 – 3416 3031- 3415
Ecru – F13 355 –2646
3830 – 2635 3832 – 2945
3716 – 3012 931 – 1714
932 – 1713
Here is how to embroider the butterfly from this design.
You will notice that in the drawing, I put the minimum of details. I did it intentionally, because not being sure of the way to embroider, I wanted to avoid being bothered by useless lines marking the fabric.
So, I advise you not to hesitate to use a pencil (preferably water erasable) to mark all the details you will need before you start embroidering.
The outline of the wing is embroidered with 2 rows of stem stitch outlined on both sides with back stitch, all with 1 thread, Ecru and 3031 colors. Decorate the edge of the wing with small straight stitches.
Having great fun embroidering the butterfly
