Herbarium Embroidered Collar Embroidery Pattern

This project was inspired by pressed leaves of Prairie Smoke plant specimens found in the Wisconsin State Herbarium and also by vintage lace collars. Created with contour and line drawings in mind, this project is placed on a round collared top or dress, creating an embroidered wreath-like design. The embroidery uses simple couching stitch to create a stitch “sketch” and can be placed on any found or favourite garment. Designed by artist Amanda McCavour.
