Hair Embroidery Stitching Techniques

Hair Embroidery Stitching Techniques

“My dear embroiderers: We have reached the end of the course, now you are ready to start your project, but before saying goodbye, let's review the steps that I recommend following to achieve it. We begin by knowing a little more about my work and the recent projects in which I have collaborated with my stitches. I told you how important it is for me to experiment and not set limits when embroidering on a support or interpreting other projects. I told you about the influences that I have been passionate about lately and have inspired me to propose this third course on embroidered characters and hairstyles. In the second unit, we review the materials necessary to make your project, emphasizing that you can use the yarns that you have or prefer (regardless of their brand). Then I told you how I choose a good image to synthesize what composition is interesting to make a diagram and two methods to get to the original pattern. In both digital and analog, you can get the same result. Then I explained how to transfer the design to the garment. And finally, it was time to start embroidering! In the third unit, I explained various methods of laying hair-strands, both to make a special updo, to leave the hair down or to make other hairstyles such as braids, bows or add details with specific stitches. After combing our character, I showed you how to embroider a Canotier hat model and another wool cap. At the end of this unit, we have gone over together the perfect stitches to make the best outlines in your embroidery. In the fourth unit, I have embroidered my final project by selecting an image that I really like and it moved me to my old flat in Raval (Barcelona) where I lived for 16 years.

I showed you small variations and tricks of hair placement and hairstyle to respect the perspective of the photograph. And I have explained different stitches to make the contours defined and delicate. I have finished the lesson telling you tricks to finish the garment or a hoop, and what is the best way to take care of that embroidery. Now it's your turn, share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project", just like I did. Remember to share both the final result of your embroidery and the steps that have led you to it. I enthusiastically encourage you to create your own diagrams so that you can embroider memories of yourself or your surroundings and leave heritage pieces with history and stitches. I hope you have enjoyed my course very much, I have put all my love and dedication into you so that you learn and continue to love embroidery. I will be in the forum for any questions, and I ask you for a little patience if I cannot answer your messages immediately. I take it very seriously and spend several hours a week reading you and building the great community of embroiderers that we have achieved. Also, if you feel like it, show us your progress through Instagram with photos and the hashtag #SrtaLyloDomestika. Thanks for being on the other side A strong hug Miss Lylo ”

“Final project Now I will give you a summary of everything we learned throughout the course. First I showed you the materials needed to do the project. Then we discuss what images can be suggestive to make your own diagram, to later be able to synthesize it.
