Today's stitch is from Elizabeth Healey's book 'Stitch, Fabric & Thread' - the Sycamore Stitch.
It's easy maths, Lazy Daisy Stitch x 2 + Straight Stitch x 1.
Work it like this:
Make a single slanting Chain Stitch
Anchor at top and come out in the
same hole again.
Make a mirrored Chain Stitch
and add a Straight Stitch
As I said, easy math, beautiful result.
Homework:
Practise doing sums on these samplers.
This reminds me of a tiny plant, just starting to grow.
ReplyDeleteSycamore Stitch is organic, like a little seedling or little petals from a big head of hydrangea. Good tutorial.
ReplyDeleteYou could use lots of them at different angles to make the head of an angelica flower..
ReplyDeleteAre you going to use this as a line or fill stitch?
