Tender dance

The focus is on satin flowers with bright red stitches.

The motive is at the top, at the beginning of the article, next to the photo of the model.

You will need

Dress, white satin: for each flower flap size. OK. 20 x 40 cm, template, pencil, marker with self-disappearing paint, red threads for embroidery, scissors, a sheet of paper, a needle for embroidery with a sharp tip, pins.

Step 1

The motive is to copy and enlarge (or reduce) to the desired size. To cut. Fold the sheet of paper four times and lay the motive on it, aligning the corners. Circle the contours. Cut and lay out the pattern.

Step 2

Pin the pattern to a half-folded satin and cut with a 5 mm seam allowance. Stitch details face to face. Cut allowances close to the stitch. In the corners, cut close to the stitches. On the outside corners of the allowances, cut obliquely close to the stitches. Cut one piece in the middle to a length of 4 cm (this will be the bottom of the flower). Twist the flower through this cut. Iron the edges.
