Lazy Daisy Stitch

09/02/2023

Within my work, I often incorporate the Lazy Daisy Flower. Indeed I like it so much that it has become my logo. This embroidery motif gives a lovely graphic flower on a product.

The basic flower is made up of three embroidery stitches chain stitches in a circle, a short row of running stitches for the stem and a central French knot.

Here are the basic steps you need to follow.

Step 1 - Draw a circle and mark out petals, a stem and leaves using a dissolvable fabric pen.

Step 2 - Using a chain stitch work your way around the circle.

Step 3 - Start at bottom and create the leaves

Step 4 - Finish by sewing the stem using a running stitch

Step 5 - Add a French Knot at the centre

Step 6 - Use water to dissolve the pen to reveal the finished daisy flower.
