The length stated for the garment is the distance between the centre of your collarbones and the tip of the V neck. Measure from the centre of your collarbones down along the chest. Please see information below on how to measure yourself How to measure yourself The purple icicle pansy is the best design to begin needle painting with and I suggest getting the 3 PDF Files with the work-in-progress pictures for an in depth learning of the technique.Please see the table below for international size conversion International size conversion UK Suggested Designs to Work Prior to the Pansy:
I am offering free on-going critique with this kit….you can email me at any time if you have questions or would like me to critique your embroidery. Needle painting can be challenging so I suggest learning the technique from one of my kits rather than from a book as you get much more instructions in my kit rather than a book which usually only has a few pages of instructions for one design. PDF #1 has 28 pages: Design Transfer and Stem The last few pictures in the picture gallery show some of the pages in the PDF files. The 3 PDF files combined with the instructions will give you a well rounded learning in the technique but the PDF files are not essential to work the pansy. In the kit I provide a detailed instruction booklet with 17 pages of step-by-step diagrams and instructions. The pansy in the pictures is worked in 9 DMC embroidery cotton threads on Southern Belle cotton Muslin fabric.
There are 9 colours used in the embroidery. The fabric comes with the design hand drawn on so you do not have to be concerned about transferring the design yourself and the silk threads come on a numbered thread template so you know exactly which colour to use on the embroidery.įor the pansy design there is the option of working the embroidery in DMC embroidery cotton threads on cream fabric or with Needle Point silk threads on silk Shantung fabric. Please visit the Needle Painting Information page for more information on needle painting and rating of the designs from easy to hard.
The sheen of the threads adds to the soft effect of the petals. 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 Purple Icicle Pansy is worked in needle painting also known as thread painting and long and short stitch. I highly recommend working this design prior to any of my needle painting designs to give you a good foundation in long and short stitch. The Purple Icicle Pansy is a Level 1: Beginners of my Further Education kits in which you have the option of purchasing the 3 PDF files with colour work-in-progress pictures of the entire stitching process on my pansy that I provide when I run my on-line classes.
