Description
Ready to create an embroidery piece that truly stands out? The Stumpwork Strawberries Hand Embroidery Kit by Melissa Galbraith for M Creative J is perfect for intermediate stitchers who want to explore the playful world of stumpwork embroidery. This DIY kit guides you through creating delightfully ripe strawberries and sculptural, moveable leaves that pop off the fabric, bringing a new level of texture and dimension to your project.
Stumpwork is a unique type of embroidery that uses padding, wire, and special stitches to make your design elements stand away from the fabric, creating a stunning 3D effect. With this kit, you’ll learn techniques like the stem stitch, pistil stitch, detached chain stitch, berry stitch, couching, satin stitch, buttonhole stitch, and the corded detached buttonhole stitch—all while crafting charming strawberries and leaves that seem almost lifelike.
