Today’s White Threads FlossTube video is a Hardanger kloster block tutorial. Hardanger kloster block are the satin stitch building block on which Hardanger embroidery is built. They need to be precisely placed and precisely stitched so that everything else can be put in the right place and worked perfectly as well. With this video from […] This episode of White Threads FlossTube has four examples of Hardanger with an organza overlay. Working with the overlay is an unusual technique, which makes the Hardanger quite difficult to do, but creates a gorgeous effect.

She saw many beautiful examples of embroidered regional costume that day, including […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette demonstrates how to work an eyelet with a large hole, and the BEST way to finish an eyelet. She shows you the embroidered item she’s wearing for the day. For further reference, there are written step-by-step instructions for counted thread eyelets in Yvette’s book “Early-Style Hardanger” and […] For this episode’s piece of embroidered clothing, Yvette is wearing her shirt from “Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway” which has pattern darning on the collar. She shows how a whitework Hardanger design can be re-interpreted in colour, and makes mention of the book she’s working on at the moment. If you’re reading this in […] You suggested, I created: my very first FlossTube video, showing you the embroidered blouse that I’m wearing, my Hardanger biscornu from “Early-Style Hardanger” and busting a myth about Hardanger embroidery. The threads and fabric mentioned in the video can be found in the Hardanger section of our online shop. http://www.vettycreations.com.au/catalogue-hardanger.html At this stage, we are […] |
