Beaded Embroidery Add a dash of pretty to your projects by stitching on a few tiny seed beads. Use your disappearing ink marker to mark dots in the areas you'd like to accentuate, then insert a beading needle up through the back of the fabric and out through the front of the dot. Slide the bead onto the needle and then insert the needle back down into the fabric so that there's enough room for the bead to lay flat against the fabric. Secure the bead by stitching it in place twice. #beginnerembroidery #handsewingbasics #embroidery #handembroidery #beadembroidery #embroiderytutorial #basicembroidery #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/CCgrJbbDVko/?igshid=xk8ub289es5j

✨Fun Tip: did you know that you can use two different shades of the same coloured embroidery thread to create a varigated look? Try it, it's fun to experiment! #handsewing #handsewingbasics #beginnerembroidery #beginnersewing #handembroidery #didyouknow #funfact #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZw1uKDbAy/?igshid=100nbyrll89e3

I've created a free embroidery video tutorial for beginners which you can find on my blog: http://gingermelondolls.blogspot.com/2020/07/introduction-to-hand-embroidery.html?m=1 This is the first lesson in a series of tutorials I'll be sharing on various aspects of dollmaking. I'm hoping you'll find them helpful for learning something new or to refine your skills. P.S. Please excuse my abysmal skills at video making! Hopefully I'll improve as I do more🙈🤣 #freedownload #beginnersewing #handsewingbasics #handembroidery #gingermelon #learnhowtosew #howto #dollmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CCR0of_DBuB/?igshid=1m95uah9m1hkb

Ok, so I know there are some of you out there who'd love to learn how to sew by hand and I'd like to help you get started with a few basics. Today I'll show you how to separate embroidery thread into single strands (a skein of embroidery thread usually consists of 6 strands of threads) and then you'll learn how to knot the end of your thread and finally, how to thread your needle. Please swipe through to see detailed video of each step.
