These easy embroidery flowers are perfect for beginners. In a small hoop, you can stitch three simple blue and white flowers that are quick, relaxing, and satisfying to complete. Also, quick projects like these are great for practicing stitches, experimenting with color, or creating a small handmade gift.
Blue and white are classic colors that make your stitches feel serene. Additionally, starting with a small project allows you to build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Quick projects like this let you explore different stitches while finishing something beautiful in one session. For example, even a tiny hoop with a few flowers can brighten a space or make a thoughtful gift. Furthermore, this is a low-pressure way to try new stitch combinations and color pairings.
Watch the Video: Stitch Along with Me
In this video, I demonstrate three beginner-friendly flowers using fly stitch, French knots, satin stitch, and lazy daisy. All stitching is done with 3 strands of floss in a 4” hoop, which is a nice middleground of threads. Also, you can follow along at your own pace, pausing or replaying parts as needed. Did you know Youtube even has a feature where you can slow down or speed up the video to your liking?
Tips for Easy Embroidery Flowers
Fly stitch creates fun lines, French knots add texture, satin stitch fills petals smoothly, and lazy daisy gives a playful look. Even if you’re new to embroidery, watching the video helps you feel confident. Additionally, experimenting with different floss brands can reveal interesting textures and sheens. Next, a smaller hoop keeps your project handy, while a larger hoop may give you more room to finish threads on the backside. Then, once you’ve settled on your hoop size you can begin comfortably.
Practicing these stitches with a simple color palette allows you to focus on technique without distraction. Finally, repeating the steps slowly ensures even and neat stitches.
Free PDF Pattern
You can download the free PDF pattern here — all of my patterns are designed in Procreate on my iPad, which allows me to experiment with layouts, colors, and spacing before stitching. PDFs are easy to print or view on a tablet while stitching. Having a reference in front of you can prevent mistakes and help you feel more confident.
How to Trace the Easy Embroidery Flowers Pattern
Print the pattern to trace the shapes onto your fabric, or you can even trace directly on your iPad! If you need fabric pens, check out my fabric marking pens on my supplies page.
Place the PDF design under your fabric to trace each flower outline. Then, once the shapes are traced, you’re ready to start stitching. In addition, tracing allows you to follow the design exactly or adjust the placement slightly to make your flowers unique.
Blue and White Color Inspiration
The white flower is soft and subtle alongside the calming blue accents. Blue and white is a fresh, classic combination that feels peaceful without complicating the stitches. I love how the design looks with simplified color — having the stems and flowers in the same shade gives the project a clean, cohesive look that I really enjoy.
Tips for Using Blue and White
Blue and white is versatile and works in almost any setting. For example, pairing different shades of blue with neutral tones creates subtle variations while keeping a crisp, cheerful look. Small accents or slight variations keep your mini flowers interesting and personalized. In addition, experimenting with a gentle color gradient can add depth and dimension to your embroidery project, making even a simple design feel more dynamic.
Easy Embroidery Flowers with Satin Stitch Petals
The blue flowers are created with cheerful satin stitch petals and French knot centers. This project is perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a short, relaxing stitching session. Also, completing small projects like this improves stitch consistency, builds confidence, and encourages creativity. These flowers are a great way to explore patterns and color combinations without committing to a larger, more complicated project.
Here are a few extra tips to get the most out of this mini project:
- Experiment with hoop sizes. Smaller hoops give control; larger hoops feel airy.
- Mix and match floss strands. Three strands give good coverage; more or fewer strands change the effect.
- Play with color combinations. While blue and white are classic, try other shades for unique variations.
- Take breaks and enjoy the process. Mini projects are perfect for quick, relaxing stitching sessions.
- Try stitching multiple mini bouquets. Combine flowers in different arrangements to change things up.
Finally, I hope this tutorial inspires you to try your own combinations, textures, and placements and of course feel free to use my pattern exactly as it is. Follow along with the video to see exactly how the stitches come together.
