  5. French Knots (optional) – Can be added to accent the flower centre for texture.

Fabric Suggestions:

  • Cotton (white or off-white) – Easy to stitch on and holds the pattern well.
  • Linen or Khadi – Perfect for a traditional, handmade look.
  • Avoid stretchy or synthetic fabrics.

Step-by-Step Tips:

  1. Trace the pattern onto your fabric using a light pencil or transfer method.
  2. Place the fabric in a hoop, tightening it so the surface is taut like a drum.
  3. Start with the outline, using chain or stem stitch.
  4. Fill in sections like flower petals and swirls using satin and scroll stitches.
  5. Add details like leaves, vines, and knots to give the design life.
  6. Finish neatly at the back, trim excess thread, and gently iron from the reverse side.
