Fabric – Silk Organza
Fabric – Silk Organza
$5.21 – $10.42 USD
The silk organza fabric is a fine transparent fabric that is strong, non-stretchy, non-shiny and non-glossy unlike some organza fabrics. It makes a great fabric for shadow work embroidery as the embroidery becomes the feature and not the fabric. The embroideries in the pictures opposite are worked on silk organza fabric in herringbone stitch.
Colour: Off White
Width: 55 inches
Recommended Supplies
Needle Painting Iris Kit
The Iris is worked in needle painting also known as thread painting and long and short stitch. This is the most realistic form of surface embroidery which is worked in staggered straight stitches in a single strand of embroidery thread on a closely woven fabric, blending rows of colour to create a very realistic embroidery. The sheen of the threads adds to the soft effect of the petals and leaves.
The Iris is an intermediate design, please visit the Needle Painting Information page for more information on needle painting and rating of the designs from easy to hard.

Shadow Work Forest
The Shadow Work Forest is an intermediate surface embroidery technique.
The shadow work embroidery is made up of bands of herringbone stitch at the back of the fabric that show through at the front as a shadow of colour. The technique was traditionally used for table coverings as the stitching was on the back of the work so that it was protected from being snagged/damaged.
I have designed my shadow work embroideries as pieces of art. The forest looks lovely mounted between two window mat boards and hung from the corners like a mobile so that both sides of the embroidery can be seen.

Stretcher Bar Frames
Stretcher bars are inexpensive wooden embroidery frames in which the fabric can be pulled really tight. The end of the bars have teeth that you slot together to form a frame at any size that you require for your needlework. I recommend the stretcher bar frames to work my hand embroidery kits in because they are very quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame.
I highly recommend purchasing the brass thumb tacks which are stronger and sharper than office supplies thumb tacks or quilters thumb tacks.

Pendant – Metal Thread Pendant
The Metal Thread Pendant is a beginners project.
The embroidery is worked by sewing down strands of pearl purl which is a coiled metal thread, the stitches are hidden in the coils of the thread. In-between the lines of pearl purl are sections of gold soft metal beads.
I have also include a brooch pattern and brooch pin in case you prefer to make a brooch instead of a pendant.
