Venetian Inspired Embroidery Pattern


Here's a new free pattern for all of you lovely stitchers!!


If you want to add the colour blotches to your fabric, this is how I did it. I use the old fashioned pencil tracing method especially for this because...

 
you need to soak the fabric. 


I mixed food colouring with salt. Let the salt dissolve then dab the colour all over the fabric. This won't last if you plan on washing the piece when finished. You should use proper fabric dye if you want your colour to be waterproof.


Getting the fabric completely wet allows the colour to bleed out all over the hoop. Make sure the fabric is completely dry before you start stitching. 

Have Fun! I can't wait to see what you create!!
