Embroidery in Hariri style

It’s a long time I have been planning to make embroidery in Hariri style. Did you ever see Julia Hariri’s artwork? Please Google for information. Because of copyright restrictions I can’t show you pictures. You will soon see how simple and naive her drawings are. They are mostly continuous line drawings. So, I’ll decorate a blouse with embroidery in Hariri style.

Is it a challenge to draw one yourself? You’ll soon find out! Especially for this purpose I purchased a simple light blue blouse. I will embroider the drawing on the right front panel.

It’s a bit a dull blouse, but it transforms totally with the decorative embroidery.

Let’s start the embroidery in Hariri style.

In the file, there is a second eye, but while embroidering, I decided to stop the embroidery machine BERNINA 700 before sewing the second eye.

Stitch density was decreased, to be able to embroidery with Mettler Seralon sewing thread. With this blouse, I like the colors 916 (dark blue) en 600 (red).

I embroidered in the Large oval hoop

The Large oval embroidery hoop is suitable for both design combinations and extensive embroidery designs. The template makes quick work of accurately positioning the project in the hoop.

To avoid hoop burn, I used a double layer of cut away stabilizer and pinned the fabric on top. Mettler Web Bond temporary adhesive spray is very useful to avoid gliding while pinning.

After pinning, I used a basting stitch around the embroidery project as an extra fixation.

I’m ready to embroider 32.000 stitches.

The bastingstitch must be removed when the embroidery is finished.

The decoration with embroidery in Hariri style is finished.
