Straight stitch and lazy daisy in ribbon
Simple flowers.
Step by step
- Straight stitch: come up, go down elsewhere. Several from one centre make a flower.
- Lazy daisy: come up, make a loop, go down beside the start, come up at the loop end and anchor it.
- Keep ribbon flat by holding it with your thumb as you pull through.
