A 5 inch embroidery hoop featuring a sweet embroidered blue tit on his perch, stitched onto vintage fabric.
A pretty embroidery ready to hang on your wall.
The blue tit was created from layers of free machine embroidery and is really like a little painting in thread. I wanted to make the bird as realistic as possible and enjoyed using my sewing machine buy as a paint brush, layering threads and stitches to get his colours, markings and texture of his feathers just right.
His eye, beak and legs were embroidered by hand.
His perch was created from tiny scraps of fabric which I stitched together by hand and then covered in machine embroidery.
A lot of fiddly sewing went into making this piece!
I stitched the blue tit onto a precious remnant of vintage fabric with a lovely floral print.
The embroidery is very slightly padded and backed with a piece of natural calico. I carefully trimmed the fabric away at the back and finished the edges with a coat of PVA glue to prevent fraying and to seal it into the frame.
The good quality hoop was made in the U.K. and measures 13.5cm in diameter.
