Needlework is one of the most constructive types of hobbies. Firstly, we create useful and practical things, and secondly, we decorate the house and ourselves. Thirdly, needlework hobbies very calm nerves and help to relax.
Among the growing hobbies are not only traditional knitting or sewing. You can do decoupage or quilting, scrapbooking or macramé. Tatting lovers create small lace masterpieces.
Ribbon embroidery patterns, available in needlework magazines, allow you to create beauty with your own hands. This type of hobby has become popular in the last decade. In stores now you can buy and patterns of embroideries with ribbons, and the basis (outline), and the materials themselves. For creativity, you will need a needle with a large eye and a rounded end. As a basis, you can take a fine canvas, and just a ribbon or other loose fabric. The weave should not be too thick, although it all depends on diligence and accuracy. Also, look for embroidery patterns with ribbons. Whether you want to make a tablecloth or pillows, paintings or napkins - the basic techniques for creating flowers (this is the basic motive) are the same. Learning to make buds, stems, rose petals, gladioli, irises, you can decorate any item with such a decor.
An interesting type of needlework, especially suitable for beginners, is partial embroidery. It is understood that only a fragment of a pattern or picture is decorated with threads or ribbons. Therefore, the time for such a product
will be spent a little, and the effect, like the process itself, will delight for a very long time. To create
three-dimensional paintings or patterns, woolen threads for embroidery are great. Fine yarn can be used to make delicate miniatures. And thick threads are used for pillows, covers, large patterns. Patterns of
embroideries with ribbons most often offer a certain fragment that can be placed on the product arbitrarily. The method of transferring such a pattern to the fabric is tracing or flattening. Similarly, you can
embroider Richelieu and smooth surface. But paintings and other products decorated with a
tapestry seam or a cross are most often done according to a pattern printed on paper.
For lovers of needlework is now a real paradise. In stores you can buy any materials for creativity. There are a lot of threads for embroidery alone. In addition, if you are not very interested in reproducing a pattern or diagram created by someone, you can make them yourself using computer programs.
Such applications process any photo or drawing. Automatically, creating a scheme, they will count the number of threads and indicate the numbers from the palette of the selected manufacturer. This is important to consider, especially if you are doing everything yourself, and not buying ready-made sets. The same pattern or picture will look different if made from threads of different manufacturers.
Embroidery ribbons can also be bought at stores. Usually, satin or silk braid with a width of 0.2-0.3 to 1 cm is used for this. Sometimes this embroidery is combined with stitches with large threads.
