Screen Print Tropical Embroidery

In February I got to try screen printing at home as part of a blog post for Hobbycraft. I loved screen printing when I studied textiles at college, all those years ago, so I got very excited when I discovered a simple way to print at home! Using an embroidery hoop, a pair of tights and some Mod Podge, I got to work testing out some designs.

My project for Hobbycraft was to create a fun printed tote bag, before I went straight onto the bag with the print I needed to test it on a scrap of fabric. This scrap of fabric has now turned into one of my favourite embroidery designs.

I added a simple chain stitch around the printed leaf itself, then added an array of colours and stitches around it, with some little beads for added texture.
