Embroidered curtain

Transform a simple white curtain with embroidery

24 September 2014

You will need

• flower template
• white curtain
• embroidery thread in the colour of your choice (we used DMC 168, a light grey)
• embroidery needle
• iron-on interfacing (optional; see step 1)

1 Trace the flower template onto the bottom section of your curtain. If your fabric is very delicate, then you can iron interfacing onto the wrong side for a firmer fabric.

2 Use stem stitch for the flowers and large leaves and back stitch for the smaller leaves.

3 Darn in loose yarn ends at the back of the work. When the embroidery is completed, turn the work over so that the wrong side is facing upwards and place a towel onto your ironing board. Gently press your embroidery to finish it off.
