About the final project for: Embroidery Art with Lettering: Negative Type Designs

Embroidery Art with Lettering: Negative Type Designs

“Congratulations! You have now come to the end of this Domestika course. I am very happy that you accompanied me to the end. I hope this gave you inspiration to embroider your own designs. Now it's time to work on your project. Maybe your embroidery design is already finished and you can now present it in full. Maybe you're still there or you even want to start a new project. In any case, I would like to remind you to let your creativity run free. My design should only serve as an inspiration for you. So choose your very own word, your own color scheme and your own flowers or backgrounds. Here I have summarized the most important steps as briefly as possible as a reminder for you: collect ideas Find inspiration and ideas for your embroidery project and create a mood board. Also choose the color palette. Draft the design Turn your ideas into a template using Procreate. You can upload the photos of your mood board as a reference and use them as a rough guide for drawing. Of course, you can also draw freehand!

Transfer the template Transfer the design to your chosen fabric with a transfer stitch, hoop it in the embroidery hoop and choose your thread colors. Embroider the motif Now embroider the template onto your fabric using the basic stitches you have learned. Don't forget to always start in the middle and then work your way outwards. Highlights come at the end!
Finish the hoop Finally, remove the lines of the transfer pen that are still visible (using a hair dryer) and attach the fabric to your embroidery hoop with a running stitch.
I look forward to seeing what you have created. Show your personality through your embroidery! Once you're done, upload your project to the forum. Simply click on "Create your project". Remember to add the pictures of the different stages to show the whole process. You can also write a short explanation for this. The forum gives you the opportunity not only to present your projects, but also to exchange ideas with the community and find more inspiration. Of course, I will stop by as often as possible and be at your side with advice and feedback. Thank you and see you soon! ”

Partial transcription of the video

“final project We have come to the end of my course. Thank you for taking part. I will briefly summarize it for you. First we chose our materials: Yarn, frame, fabric and other embroidery supplies. Then we threaded the needle and cut the fabric and clamped it in the frame. I also have the Procreate basics for you and various basic stitches shown. We went looking for ideas and created our design. We transferred this to the fabric and then embroidered our design together step by step. Then we finalized the embroidery hoop and staged him for Instagram. Then I would like to give you some tips. J...”

Embroidery Artist

Theresa Wensing is a Cologne-based embroidery artist.
She studied media and cultural studies and works full-time as a project manager. Embroidery came into her life as a lockdown hobby: she wanted to use the time inside to do something productive and not scroll through her phone all day. Since then, embroidery has developed into Theresa's creative outlet, which helps her to meditatively escape from the hectic, completely digitized everyday life.

Today she produces her own digital designs which she sells through her Etsy shop and already has over 100,000 followers on Instagram where she shares her embroidery projects and patterns.
