Inspired by 18th century men's fashion this embroidery depicts a part of an imagined waistcoat. Silk floss on dupion silk, it is a project from my book about thread painting and silk shading. One day I will stitch the whole waistcoat... when I have a few spare months. 🤣 . . . #threadpainting #threadpaintingbook #silkshadingbook #EmbroideryBook #embroiderytutor #EmbroideryTution #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume #menswaistcoat #stitchbook #longandshortembroidery #LongAndShortStitch #needlepainting #needlepaintingtutorial #threadpaintingtutorial #crowoodpress #needlepaintingbook #historicalcostume https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ61TjLjz6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Adding gold thread pips to a luscious silk floss embroidered strawberry. Notice how I am crossing over a stitch so that the gold does not disappear into the stitching, I am also using a large needle to allow the gold to slip through the fabric and embroidery smoothly, without dragging. A project from my silk shading book. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #threadpainting #silkshading #needlepainting #silkflossembroidery #strawberryembroidery #silkembroidery #embroiderytutorial #embroiderylesson #embroiderydesign #heytheremaker #embroiderybook #crowoodpress #inisewlation #isewlation #devereyarns #britishstitchers #stitchventure #ihavethisthingwiththread #creativityfound #makersmovement #britcraft #heritagecrafts #makersgonnamake #stitchedmodern #wearethemakers #exposeme #pinturadeagulha #handmadeisbest #threadincommon https://www.instagram.com/p/CAX2Ndkgfhy/?igshid=1qq3p5ufjrkrm
