What is sewn embroidery? Master class of making jewelry

Embroidering cords, beads and stones on clothes or when making jewelry is sewn embroidery. Schemes can be very different, but more often needlewomen take as a basis zigzag floral patterns and even the color of animals and birds. From simple beaded embroidery southeast technique is distinguished by the presence of special flat cords, which due to the color variety and flexibility can create unusual ornaments.

Where did the embroidered embroidery come from?

The clothes of rich people were embroidered with cords and jewels as far back as the 16th century in France. Further, this technique was adopted by the Dutch and introduced a lot of innovations. Russian beauties and rich men could boast of embroidered outfits under Peter the Great. Embroidered embroidery resembled elegant lace.

Unfortunately, the 19-20 century was not the best time for the development of this technique. These crafts were handled by narrow specialists for finishing theatrical costumes. And it was only from the end of the 20th century that the Israeli works of M. Nagrin revived interest in southeast technology. True, many designers and craftsmen in this style make jewelry.

Nowadays, embroidered necklaces, bags, bracelets, earrings, brooches, fans, agrafs, cufflinks, barrettes, rims, belts are adorned with modern embroidery. But embroidery of clothes at modern needlewomen is not used by fashion so far. When creating ornaments and accessories, you need sutured cords, accessories (beads, beads, bugles, fasteners, etc.), stones, shells, felt, leather, needles, monofilament, scissors, glue.

Sewing embroidery: master-class of making a jewelry set

Despite the fact that the suture cord is thin, quite flexible, but it takes a long time to create different elements. Therefore, you can save time and buy ready-made sutured clasps. It can be both circles, and leaves, and the shape of the clover. Particularly interesting are the loop-like elements, into which you can sew beads or beads.

So, buy in the sewing shop the necessary number of sutabag elements and pick up to them various beads, beads and fasteners for earrings and necklaces. At home on the table, arrange all the elements and make up the composition of the necklace and earrings. Beads can be laid out between sutuzhnymi elements or in loops.

Now remains a needle for beads monofilament or in a tone elements to connect all the details. The advantage of the cord is that a groove runs along its middle, where all the stitches are hidden. After the main element is ready, on the fishing line or a special tourniquet string both beads of the desired length from both edges and attach them to the fasteners. You also make earrings.

Hair band

The combination of ordinary beads, faceted beads, rivoli and sutra cords creates unusual noble patterns. The richness of the product is given by an unusual soutache embroidery. The master class on manufacturing a rim consists in the following.

• Rivoli sew on felt.
• Sew it with three rows of beads of different colors in mosaic technique.
• The last edge of the beads is sewn to the fleece.
• Trim the edges of the fabric, leaving 3 mm.
• Take three coteroles, combining in color with beads and rivoli, sew a stone on both sides.
• To get unusual "squiggles", in the middle of the stone from each edge, the ends of the cords bend, and in the resulting circle sew a bead.
• Since in the middle you get two circles, then you sew a bead between them, so that the pattern does not merge.
• The ends of the cords are hidden on the wrong side (first they are scorched by fire and then glued).
• On one half between two circles with two cords create three petals, in which you sew the oblong beads in the form of petals.

Main rim pattern

The peculiarity of sewn embroidery is that the product can be created from elements. If we consider the rim as an example, then three lobes can be created separately with a needle and thread, applying to the stone. And the last step is to sew the finished element to the main pattern. It is this "design" property that attracts many needleworkers the technique of sewn embroidery.

Master-class on making a rim for the hair continues:

• On the opposite side of a single cord create small circles-eyelets, in which sew small beads.
• Next, a side element is created. Beads are sewn with a suture cord of the same color, on top of which you sew beads at the same time with a cord of another color scale. It turns out that you sew beads with beads and get a petal. It must be made in two copies.
• Sew these petals between two circles in the main pattern from two sides.
• Next, with a third-colored sash cord, sheathe the resulting petals, making the circles at the base, into which the beads are sewed.
• By the size of the wrong side, cut out a piece of skin and glue to hide all the tails of the cords.

"Snake" hairband

The main decoration for the rim is ready. Now you need to make the "foundation" of the accessory. Since the finished rims are not combined with the received pattern, we will create a bandage in the same technique (sewing embroidery).

Master-class of making a snake:

• Measure the volume of the head. Draw where the decoration will be and how many places it occupies. Select the place for the rubber bands, that is, the snake pattern will end just about behind the ears.
• Take 6 pieces of cords along the head circumference (two in each color) and sew their edges, creating a tight braid. You will have two pieces, which individually attach to the decoration.
• Now part the cords evenly and sew beads between them.
• Next, sew the cords.
• And again, sew a bead. Pattern repeat to the end.
• Next, cut all the segments with beads and fasten them with a second seam.
• On a velvet strip, sew on the pieces and decorations. They can first be glued, and then sewed around the edges with nylon threads.
• At the edges of velvet, sew gum and seal the velvet from the wrong side.
• To ensure that the bezel does not move on the head, a relief tape is glued or sewn to the underside.

Brooch in the technique of southeast embroidery

Consider how to make a simple brooch in this technique. If you make several such elements and connect them together, you can create a bracelet or necklace. The main thing - pick up the stones and cords for the color, then the more graceful will be the sewing embroidery.

Master class brooch:

• Stone glue to the felt and cut the fabric along its edges two centimeters more.
• Stone attach to the middle of two pieces of sutures, different in color, and staple from both sides.
• Reaching the middle, in the opposite direction, sew the beads into the cords.
• When you're done, make a loop around the edges and sew on it with a bead.
• On the reverse side symmetrically sew of three bundles loop.
• On each side of the loop to the bead in the circle, decorate with beads and beads, getting a kind of fence: beads, beads, three beads in the form of a triangle.
• From the wrong side, sew or glue the felt, which is sewn in advance clasp.

It turned out an elegant brooch due to smooth curved lines of cords, which creates sewn embroidery. MK jewelry requires small additions:

1) do not save on southeast stretches, if you make great details, as in the case with snake rims;

2) the ends immediately sing over fire and press with your fingers;

3) make all the stitches in the groove of the cord;

4) Initially create a decoration pattern on the table of parts or draw on paper.

Do it, and you will succeed!
