SUNDAY MORNING (indoors) PROJECT IDEAS for Patterns + PEEL.STICK.STITCH. Packs
Nothing better than a slow sunday morning
While PEEL.STICK.STITCH. packs are all about you and your creativity, this is the place to be if you need a little extra guidance or project inspiration! This page will continue to evolve as Sarah dreams up new applications for these designs!
Project Idea: Hoop Art
Use your PEEL.STICK.STITCH. pack to create a new artwork for your wall!
suggested materials:
Pre-washed fabric in a color of your choice cut to at least 9 x 9 inches. The sample is stitched on vintage linen.
7-inch embroidery hoop
Needle(s). Size 5 embroidery needle or size 20 chenille needle are both great options
Scissors for fabric, thread, and stabilizer
Hot water for rinsing away excess stabilizer
suggested colors:
DMC Embroidery Floss: 371, 414, 415, 436, 543, 581, 606, 701, 823, 904, 919, 3031, 3822, 3826
DMC Perle Cotton: 310, size 8
method:
Stretch your fabric in the hoop.
The Sunday Morning packs work well with repositioning different objects to create a room of your choice. Cut out each object with a maximum amount of white space around it.
Peel the backings off of the Sunday morning objects and position them in the locations of your choosing. Make sure none of the designs are directly overlapping the edges of the hoop. If you hold the hoop up to a bright window, you should be able to see where those edges are.
Fill each object with a satin stitch using your selected color of embroidery floss or perle cotton. Try out following the outline shape of the objects to determine the direction that your stitches follow. If you need a refresher on stitch techniques, you can find an illustrated stitch glossary here.
After your satin stitch is complete, outline each shape using perle cotton and the couching technique.
Rinse off excess stabilizer using hot water and let dry. Hang directly on the wall using a small nail.
