It's back to school time! We're starting with a little DIY makeover with this very simple and very accessible tuto: grow flowers from your pockets! 🌞🌼

Here's the perfect tutorial to get you started in embroidery if you've always dreamed of it, or to indulge yourself with this quick project if you're already well-versed in needle and thread.

👉Forthis DIY you need:

• a garment with a pocket
• embroidery thread
• a needle with a large eye
• a Frixion Ball-type erasable felt-tip pen

👉How to:

Start by drawing your flowers as you like above the pockets, extending the stem a little inwards. Choose simple flower shapes.

First, we'll embroider the stems: take the embroidery thread as it appears on the skein, i.e. 6 strands, thread it through the needle, and fold it in half to make 12 strands in all.

Follow your design by embroidering in stem stitch! This will create a volume that makes the whole thing quite realistic.

Continue with the embroidery of the leaves: fill them with small V-shaped stitches, this time with 4 strands.

As for the heart of the flower, make it using small knot stitches (2 strands) held tightly together.

Finally, finish with the petals: again take the skein as is (6 strands), and embroider them, going back and forth 3 times for each petal.

Multiply the flowers as much as you like!

And ... TA-DA !!!
