How to use real leaves to inspire an embroidery design using felt and simple stitches!

If you weren't able to join me in the trees for my Forest Embroidery class then here is a great project you can join in with! I show you how to connect with your environment and bring inspiration from outside into your embroidery projects. In this video I concentrate on using just leaves from my local park and using felt and some simple stitches, I show you how to make and embroidery from the leaves that you find.

Stitches used (clockwise from left):
Leaf 1 - Whipped running stitch, chain stitch, double seeding
Leaf 2- Chain stitch, blanket stitch
Leaf 3 -Running stitch, chain stitch, star stitch, V seeding
Leaf 4 -Running stitch, chain stitch, detached chains
Leaf 5 -Blanket stitch, fly stitch
Leaf 6 -Back stitch, chain stitch, fern stitch
Leaf 7 -Blanket stitch, fly stitch
Leaf 8 -Straight stitches, chain stitch, eyelets
