Embroidery with lilac ribbons. Lilac branch: master class

In the circle of needlewomen, interest in voluminous paintings increases , where the flowers turn out to be real in shape and color. Especially the technique of creating inflorescences is unique. Let us consider in more detail how embroidery with lilac ribbons will be performed in different ways.

Techniques of embroidering lilacs

Lilac consists of many flowers with three, four, five petals and the top consisting of closed buds on legs. No matter how the inflorescence is embroidered, each flower is created separately. For beginners it's worth trying all the ways to choose your "own" method:

• Ribbon seam;
• French knot;
• Colonial petal;
• Fabric assembly;
• The creation of individual flowers.

Let's start the analysis from the ribbon seam, it was with him that embroidery began with lilac ribbons. The stitch is simple in the technique of creation, so it is popular with beginners. Each petal of the flower is embroidered separately. The needle is removed from the middle, adjusting the tape from the inside. Form the length of the petal, holding the top of the hand, insert the needle into the point near the exit. Also do the other four petals.

Do not forget to attach the volume, from the wrong side of the flower spend with the needle back and forth, do not tighten the tape. Thus, a whole bunch is embroidered. Bunches consist of a single ribbon seam. In this case, one-layer inflorescences are obtained. This is a very laborious and laborious embroidery with ribbons (lilac, photo # 1). In this variant, leaves and branches are embroidered immediately.

French and colonial suture

Another way to create flowers is a French knot. Bring the needle to the front of the fabric. With the underside of the ribbon spread, pulling it, make the right amount of winding around the needle. Holding them with your fingers, enter the needle next to the exit point, gently pull the tape to make a nice bundle.

Due to the number of windings, the size of the lilac is created. Professionals recommend two girths for opened flowers and one for buds. Buds are made by the seam "French knot on the leg". That is, the needle with a coil enter not into the exit point, but a few millimeters further. Such embroidery with lilac ribbons is shown on the photo with a rose.

The colonial suture looks like a French knot, but it differs in technique. That is, the accent is not circular, like the French stitch, but the "eight". Next, holding the navigating, insert the needle next to the exit point through the tape, and simultaneously tighten the working edge so that the "eight" forms a knob. Then the needle goes to the underside of the tissue through the nodule.

"National team" embroidery: schemes for beginners

To create the splendor of the flower itself, the masters began to "build" them on the fabric, embroidering twigs at the same time with threads of mulina and leaves with ribbons. To create a flower, bring the needle to the wrong side, another with a thin needle, thread a few stitches with thread in the ribbon. Pull it out, forming a "wave", remove the needle with the tape on the wrong side at the point next to the "exit" of the stitch. Thread the position of the flower.

This method requires simultaneous work with different threads and ribbons, creating a single image, which is difficult for novice craftsmen. Therefore needlewomen invented a different method of making flowers individually.

Embroidery with lilac ribbons for beginners involves the following actions:

• Cut a 5-millimeter tape length of seven centimeters;
• Fold it several times in half to form 4-5 segments;
• Fold lines strongly;
• Expand the ribbon;
• Tap the tape along the segments starting from the top;
• On the fold lines there is a double stitch;
• Holding the ends of the tape with the palm and fingers of the left hand, pull the right thread gently, correcting the immediately received petals;
• Fix the thread from the wrong side of the first and last petal.

Such flowers are needed a lot, for one twig - 7 meters of tape.

How to create a lilac leaf

The technology of creating leaves is also diverse, like embroidery with lilac ribbons. Small leaves are embroidered with a loop. That is, take out the needle at the base of the sheet, pull the tape and straighten it. Insert the needle next to it and print the leaf at the top. Around the tip, wrap the tape, pull out the needle, forming a loop. Ribbon spread on the top of a leaf, insert a needle into it, fixing the seam.

Middle leaves are formed by straight stitches. Just remove the tape at the base of the element, and insert the needle into the tape at the top of the leaf, from the wrong side, pulling one or the other edge.

The same picture can contain all kinds of leaflets, which creates unusual, voluminous, colorful embroidery. Schemes for beginners when creating individual elements are simple. Draw the shape of the sheet, cut out, singing fire, correct the bends. Leaves are arranged singly or collected in a shamrock. Sometimes veins are painted with acrylic paints, stitched or guillocheted with a soldering iron.

Secrets of needlewomen

To the picture was natural, you need to correctly convey the color and shape. Ribbons can be bought ready-made lilac, pink, blue shades or take only white color, which is painted with acrylic paints. To the lilac was natural, you sew the center with a yellow thread a French knot. Sometimes used beads.

How to paint? Slice the satin, silk into pieces (30-50 cm). Dye them on a dry or wet surface, then the paint falls in different ways. Mixing shades, get different transitions. Next, dry them in a microwave oven.

If there is no experience or handicraft shops are scanty for assortment, then purchase sets (mixed technique, print or fully embroidered ribbons). The sets are comfortable with the availability of material with a stock, understandable instructions, affordable price. Just do not take professional cumbersome pictures, start with children's stories. Once you master the stitches, you can use the circuitry from the logs. Professionals create any pictures on ordinary photos.

Embroidery lilac with ribbons: master class

How to create a picture from a photo? Draw a schematic pattern, for example, a bouquet of lilac in a vase or basket. Create a background of paint on batik. If the bouquet is on the table cloth, first fasten it. Then make a basket or a vase.

In the first case, the basket is sewn with vertical lines, wrapping them with ribbons, creating a thickness. And then, twisting the lines, dragging the horizontal tapes. You can embroider the basket with woolen threads. To create reliefs, the thread is rewound several times, forming bumps.

The vase is cut out of cardboard, you glue the sintepon, tighten it with a cloth, decorate it with tape or draw with acrylic paints. Now go to the embroidery of lilac. You can embroider from any place. If there are large elements in the bouquet, embroider them first as well as the "bottom" elements of the background (leaves, petals of flowers, branches).

At first, beginners will find it difficult to embroider ribbons. Kits with different technologies or plot will help to make experience faster. Then you can ready the pictures "dismember" the stitches.

Rules for beginners

1. For work, take a cloth gabardine, which stretches and does not create distortions.
2. Use a ribbon that is four to five millimeters wide for colors.
3. Buds create from a 1-3-millimeter ribbon. Find them difficult in hand-made hypermarkets, so immediately order in online stores.
4. You can make flowers from the air loops, which are sewn with beads in the middle. That is, one stitch equals a flower. From the straight seam, the loop is different in that a pencil is inserted under the stitch, which creates the size of the flower.
5. For the volume, a second layer of flowers is sewn according to the shape of the branch.
6. For the leaves will fit ribbon width of one to three to five centimeters.
7. Tapes can be made from natural fabrics (satin, silk). Rote on share cloth, cut off diagonally with scissors or cut with a round knife along the scythe. Tapes dry for three minutes at the maximum temperature in the microwave, placing a glass of water in the center of the bowl.
8. The background is created with the help of paints and sea salt. Simply paint the background, cover with salt, and as soon as the cloth has dried, remove it with a brush. Salt gives specks and stains.

Summary results

Beginners should start with kits to learn the basics and understand the principle of work. Professionals can draw information from magazines, examining the work of needlewomen.
