Pocket full of Flowers Raggedy design tutorial


   This is going to be a quick tutorial on one of my new designs (it's quick and easy to stitch!)
Supplies needed : Design file, embroidery machine, material, rick rack (or whatever you would like to use for the stems), embroidery thread, material & tape and now you're ready to start!

First Hoop your stabilizer & shirt or whatever you're putting the design on ( I used tearaway on this because the stitching is so light and tear away works great on these kind of designs!)

   Next you want to cut your rick rack a little long to line up over the tack down stitches and then secure the ends with tape. (make sure they are exactly over the tack down so the stitches dont show)




   Next I stitch the tack down for the stems and the guide line for the pocket. Then remove the tape and trim any excess rick rack from the pocket area.





Next stitch the guide line down for the flowers. Cut any excess rick rack out of the flowers.





   Next add your material for the flowers (oh and by the way the vinatge stitch thats on the pocket I changed that step to be stitched last so if you dont want it u can leave it off!)





     Then do the flower centers. If you want your flowers to have that raggedy frayed look check out my blog post on that.



This is my little one that is always picking flowers and will have a pocket full when shes coming inside :)!

Heres the stitch map (which you will get when you purchase the design)

This really is a very quick applique to do, it took me much longer to do the tutorial than to stich it out LOL maybe 15 minutes!
