Hand Embroidery Pattern & Stitch Guide - Autumn Botanical Label Frame

INTERMEDIATE · 16 DESIGN AREAS · 18 SUGGESTED DMC SHADES · APPROX. 20 X 30 CM

A complete hand embroidery guide for a specimen-style autumn sampler built around a central label cartouche with oak leaves, maple foliage, berries, acorns and seed heads - a ready-to-transfer pattern, a full stitch-by-stitch breakdown, and everything you need to plan the stitchwork before threading your needle. No guesswork, no separate tutorials to hunt down.

Autumn Botanical Label Frame has the order of a specimen page but the warmth of hand embroidery. Separate botanical units surround the central label area, allowing every stitched form to be studied individually.

About This Design

Spacing is part of the pattern. Each leaf, berry cluster and seed form is intentionally allowed its own piece of linen rather than being connected into one dense border, giving the finished work the atmosphere of an old botanical study page or textile archive sheet.

What You'll Need

To stitch this piece you'll need: fine or medium linen or linen-cotton in oatmeal, warm flax, pale stone or natural beige; 15-20 cm; embroidery needles sizes 7-9; six-strand embroidery floss; your preferred transfer tool; and the DMC shades listed in the guide. The central cartouche can stay blank or be personalized later with a title, date, monogram or botanical name.

Digital Product

This is a digital embroidery pattern and instruction set. No fabric, hoop, needle, thread or other physical materials will be shipped.

Colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen, chosen fabric and available thread dye lots. Suggested DMC shades may be adjusted to suit your own ground fabric or preferred palette.

Usage Rights

You're welcome to sell finished pieces that you personally stitch using this pattern in small quantities. Please do not resell, share, copy, upload, reproduce or redistribute the pattern files, linework, Stitch Guide or handbook themselves, either digitally or physically.

Before You Begin
