Piece of cake !
(jlai.lu)
As planned I finished it today, there wasn't much left to do. I enjoyed pretty much all of the stitching a lot, except the strawberry itself. It's not too bad but the fishbone stitch with a thick perled cotton over such a small surface wasn't a good idea.
otherwise I am really surprised about the regularity of my stitches, it looks quite tidy. The point could be pointier and the overall proportions are a bit weird but, oh well.
Also one of the threads on the satin stitch is a bit loose and I am worried if it's going to holdwith time, this is a shirt that may end up in the wash 😬
The pattern is made up of vibes and internet searches, feel free to steal it.
Here is one of my favourite stitching ressource: https://www.needlenthread.com/videos
If you can do a half decent backstitch then you should try pekinese stitch (the outline of the plate).
The sponge cake is made of bayeux stitch which is really fast to make ! But relies on satin stitch which is deceptively difficult.
The knitted looking one is not quite a detached buttonhole filling, also sometimes detached blanket stitch.
Also used: seed stitch, satin stitch and hungarian braided chain stitch.
