Embroidered Name Tag

For my in-person stitching class, we were asked to make name tags. And the lovely teacher, Barbara, suggested a 3D element. There butterflies and dragonflies, but I chose a flower.

The petals are edged with floristry wire, which I then covered in blanket stitch using one strand of DMC cotton.

The centre of the flower is a french knot slip. On another piece of fabric, I draw a circle and covered it in french knots – using Pearl Cotton 8 in two colours. I stitched a running stitch around the circle, stuff it and pulled it tight. And then attached it to the background – (I added the petals after).

My name is stem stitch using pearl cotton 5, and outlined it using a metallic thread.

Feather stitch, stem or vine and a chain stitch border.

I have laced it to a piece of card.
