Transform a plain t-shirt into something special with this easy DIY floral hand embroidery tutorial by Embroidery by Gossamer. This beginner-friendly project is perfect if you’re new to embroidery and want a wearable piece of art! Start by choosing a simple floral design and sketching it onto your t-shirt near the neckline using a fabric pencil. Then, bring your design to life using basic stitches: satin stitch for the petals, French knots for the flower centers, and a mix of stem stitch, lazy daisy, and fishbone stitch for the leaves and stems.
The tutorial walks you through every step – even showing how to secure knots on the inside for a clean, durable finish. It’s a lovely way to add a personal touch and brighten up your wardrobe with handmade details.
