Hi All. Today we're going to tat easy flower step-by-step together :)
Get a ball of thread and shuttle ready.
Fill the shuttle with about 2.5 meter thread
Because the thread is continues and there is nothing on the ball thread to get comfortable grip on
I use an empty shuttle to give me something to hold on.
With some help of the dental floss pull the thread through the shuttle opening
now I have a loop
put this loop back through the shuttle ends.
The shuttle on the ball thread is mimicking work with two shuttles
and now I can control the thread tension far better than without it.
So let's start.
The flower consist of 5 petals and each petal is made of one ring.
Start with first ring.
I'm going to tat 23 DS(Double stitch)
Make sure every DS is flipped (transferred)
10DS
20DS
Last 23rd DS
Close the ring but not completely - leave about 1cm of the bare thread.
Make second ring the same way.
23DS
Close the ring but leave about the same length of the bare thread as previously.
And the second petal is done.
Make another ring of 23DS.
Third petal is done.
Make the forth ring of 23 DS.
This one is done.
Last fifth ring of 23 DS.
Last petal is done.
Put all petals in correct position and make sure no thread is twisted.
Now I'm going to make a chain for a stem so I need to RW (Reverse Work)
Tat chain of 20DS
Make first DS so first petal and last petal are very close together and make another 19 DS
Last DS of the chain is done.
Squeeze all DS together.
Continued with the shuttle thread (NO ball thread)
Make the ring of 30DS for the first leave.
Close the ring
Make the last ring of 25 DS for the second leave.
Last DS and close the ring
Make a knot
You can put a tiny drop of a glue on the knot to make sure it doesn't undo.
You can wet block the flower or just Steam & Pin it.
Hope you like it. It's all from me for now. Have a nice day :) Paaa - Paaa
