Craftswomen and needlewomen of the whole world bring to life the most tender and touching feelings, capturing them on the canvas.

What is embroidered metric?
Such a wonderful event as the birth of a child is a special, most joyful stage in life for a family. I definitely want to keep it in my memory, and even the most beautiful postcard is not able to convey all the strength and gamut of light feelings associated with it. But embroidery (personally for a man who was born) will always evoke those bright emotions that family members experienced when a tiny living package in the house appeared. Especially if, in addition to the name, the first data of a small person will be reflected on the canvas: height, weight and hour of birth.
In anticipation of replenishment, sometimes the expectant mother herself wants to embroider a metric for the unborn child, but more often this is done by friends or relatives who know how to embroider the usual cross on the canvas. Even beginner needlewomen can do this easily. In addition, a number of superstitions are opposed to the expectant mother holding a needle and thread in her hands before childbirth, but those who are not prone to prejudice understand that embroidery can tire a future mother in a long pregnancy.
How is the metric for newborns, schemes and ideas for the gift
However, embroidery metrics for newborns does not always require much effort. Very often, preparing such a gift for an upcoming event, the main details are embroidered in advance, and at the last moment they leave data on the name, height and weight of the newborn baby. Sometimes data of birth time of up to minutes is also embroidered. Quite often, a figure is used for the metric, where the baby is sitting on the scales, ready-made images on the canvas are simply supplemented with the necessary information. Sometimes, instead of a picture of a baby, images of a small palm or heel are used.
Standard schemes are performed in pink or blue, but if the fantasy is not fully realized, choose any gamut - the main thing is that the combinations are not too bright, and the image on the embroidery conveys tenderness. For this, the metric for newborns, the schemes of which can be performed independently, is immediately printed in color. Kits, which are sold in specialized needlework stores, sometimes contain the necessary thread colors in the kit.
How to make a pattern for embroidery yourself?
If among the ready-made schemes there is no suitable option for such, of course, a completely special case, you can find any suitable picture and work with it in the photo editor. Many of them are equipped with vector graphics functions, that is, you can split the spectrum of colors into pixels using the grid. The size of your embroidery will set the necessary parameters for the image size in pixels. Under each color, it will now be easy to choose the right gamut.
In this case, you can only recommend not to get involved in very colorful pictures, because it will be more difficult to convey a semitone than tones.
All that is needed in the future is:
- canvas;
- needles;
- floss or other threads;
- hoop;
- frame for design work.
Gift for mom
Of course, an embroidered metric for a newborn is a gift, first of all, for a future mother. It is she who will forever save the most expensive figures in her memory: the hour and minute of the birth of her precious baby, weight up to tens of grams and every centimeter of growth. From time immemorial, mothers at discharge took away metric tags from the handle or legs of their child and treasured them all their lives. Today, it has become possible to make this tradition a wonderful memorable gift.
Imagination can tell a lot of interesting and touching options for designing a picture that shows a newborn baby: with a mother gently holding him in her arms, or with the first toy, while feeding or a relaxing sleep. Allegorical images of the baby on the scales or with a dummy, a rattle are only symbols of how wonderful, beautiful and healthy the baby was born.
A finished metric for newborns, the schemes of which can be purchased depending on the gender of the child, in classic blue tones for a boy or pink - for a girl, as a rule, the whole one should not be embroidered. On the canvas, areas that are embroidered with threads are indicated. Typically, the kits include all the necessary threads of the right colors, selected on a gamut.
Embroidery Options
Fairly beautiful and neutral options without gender, depicting adorable babies, can be made with the image of the attributes of a newborn: strollers, booties, vests, bottles, toys, etc. In general, the children's theme of the image allows embroidery to be such that the metric for the newborn will remain festive , even though the baby’s name may not be embroidered. Sometimes a beautiful metric also contains astrological data - the child’s zodiac sign, year of birth on the Chinese calendar, etc.
Unusual metric
If a custom embroidery pattern is chosen, the metric for a newborn can combine several birth dates of babies - the eldest and youngest, or all children in the family. Such embroidery can be made original by placing, for example, the figure of a stork with a newborn (ready-made patterns of such subjects are very popular and widespread) and surrounding it with embroidered data on children born in the family. If twins or twins were born, you can embroider mirror embroidery, this will symbolically emphasize the connection of the babies with each other. Another unusual way to make a metric for children of different ages is to place children's photos in the windows cut into the canvas.
A baby sleeping in a cabbage, a portrait of a baby, or just booties and dates - whatever you choose for the image devoted to the baby’s metric, it will be a touching and unique gift in any case. The most important thing is the emotional memory of the event, which is captured on the canvas.
