The
days of the week are a fun and long embroidery project to do. Embroidering the
days of the week was fashionable during the nineteenth century when the red
thread was used for embroidery. Redwork embroidery is considered vintage these
days. However, you can still embroider with red thread and with many other
colors for embroidery. Here is the tutorial for embroidering the days of the
week.
Instructions:
Embroidery floss
Embroidery
needles
Underwear
Scissors
Washable
pen
Letter stencil
(optional)
Embroidering days
of the week is a good project for practicing embroidery with letters. The days
of the week embroidery is still popular today, especially with undergarments.
You can use a free stencil maker or type the days of the week in your computer
typing program. Print out the words and cut the letters with scissors. Then
decide if you will embroider on the front or the back of the underwear.
Make sure when
you embroider, the thread does not make a knot in the inside part of the
fabric. Untie the knot slowly and continue inserting the thread into the
fabric. It is common for the thread to tangle itself and make knots. Yet, it
takes time to embroider each letter without having knots. Embroidering the days
of the week takes several days to complete an embroidery project especially
when you are embroidering by hand.
Trim the leftover
threads. After embroidering the letters, you can embroider any shape on the
side of the undergarment. For example, you can embroider a dragonfly, a heart,
a sun, and a bow. Continue embroidering slowly to prevent tangled threads. In
this example, “Monday" was embroidered in blue thread on the front side of
the garment.
Embroidering is
useful for stress relief. Do not get frustrated about tangled embroidery floss.
It takes a lot of patience to work with the fabric and make the stitches. But,
once the project is complete, you can feel accomplished and relaxed. Below are
website links about embroidering and a free letter stencil maker website.
