Cutwork Jewellery Envelope – Free sewing patterns – Sew Magazine

Cutwork gives stunning, intricate results but the concept is very simple – details of motifs are outlined in buttonhole stitch, then the enclosed areas of fabric are cut away. It is traditionally worked in white thread on white fabric but it can look equally effective when you use coloured fabrics and threads. This jewellery envelope features a simple floral design and scalloped edge. If you’re new to hand embroidery, why not try one flower to begin with?
