New Digital Patterns | Inspirations #84 – Part 2

12TH MAY 2023 - ASU #378

Last week we rolled out the first of three rounds of digital pattern releases from Inspirations issue #84. This week we bring you the second instalment that comes with great fanfare as both projects are designed by needlework super stars and long-time contributors to Inspirations:

Buttercup by Jenny Adin-Christie is a delicate button brooch, embroidered with multiple whitework techniques. Featuring white organza, batiste and natural linen, this gorgeous design is embellished with pearls, tiny beads, and sequins around the edge.

Hazel Blomkamp’s beautiful paperweight, Papermate, features the traditional style of Jacobean embroidery seen in many of Hazel’s projects. Vibrant, colourful and elegant, the design is stitched onto cream silk using a variety of techniques, embellished with metallic thread.
