Along with new fashionable hobbies (decoupage,weaving from rubber or leather cords, tamari, knitting without needles and hooks), and more traditional types of needlework are gaining popularity. There was no exception to embroidering with a cross - the simplest kind of decorative embroidery, with which you can decorate objects of everyday life, and create real works of art - large-scale canvases-paintings. If you are not yet able to large projects, start small: the easiest cross-stitch patterns will help to fill your hand and understand the features of the direction of stitches and fixing the thread.
Many lovers of unique homemade thingsconduct detailed blogs and diaries, which describe the process of embroidery in stages, starting with the development of the scheme and the selection of materials and finishing the design of the finished work. In such blogs, you can find interesting ideas for using small embroidered designs in creating unique diaries, book covers, bookmarks, home textiles, needlecases, eyewear cases or tools, children's or women's handbags and other accessories. Of course, not all craftsmen develop simple diagrams of cross-stitching - someone creates projects of truly artistic canvases and willingly shares them with those who want to create the same beauty.
Sometimes experienced needlewomen forget thatreaders of their blogs often have only initial skills and knowledge in working with fabric, canvas and thread. In small projects, there are quite complex stitches (for example, chain stitch or an abundance of backstitch stitches requiring hard work) or expensive decorative elements, starting with figured wooden or plastic buttons and ending with colored bells. As a result, at first glance, the simplest cross-stitch patterns turn into a stumbling block: embroiderers with little experience are lost when they meet with ambiguous design fragments and leave such projects "for later", that is, they abandon work on the idea for an indefinite period. Moreover, it may seem to some that they are not able to master such kind of needlework as cross-stitch. Simple schemes of flowers, animals and miniature landscapes remain unfulfilled dreams.
Meanwhile, domestic manufacturers begantake into account the wishes of different groups of consumers. Children's kits for embroidery with threads and beads, kits for the visually impaired, challenging projects for skilled workers containing satin ribbons appeared on the market. And, of course, the simplest cross stitch patterns for beginning needlewomen. Some designs in finished form are only 10 x 10 centimeters, and some - even less. Such miniatures are the best choice for those who are not yet confident in their skills.
Как ни странно, разработать собственный дизайн small format under the power of every woman. All you need is a checkered paper and a pen or a simple pencil (as an option, colored pens or even felt-tip pens). In a regular school notebook, you can draw any shapes and patterns that fantasy tells you, and then bring them to life on the canvas. In this way, even the most skilled bloggers are developing simple cross-stitch patterns. Try it - and you will succeed.
