Embroidered Strawberry

Gather the necessary supplies;

Fabric on which to embroider

Needle

Thread (red, green, light green)

Pencil

Embroidery hoop

Something to snip thread with

Make sure the fabric is taunt before sketching your strawberry. It can be any size or shape, or you can have multiple. Try to avoid doing this in marker, as you don't want to be able to see the marks after you are done sewing.

Only outline the part that is going to be red. Use a back stitch so your line is thicker.

Fill in the red in shorter, patchy stitches. Your stitches should push out from the bottom center.

Try to knot as close as possible to the fabric. Knot multiple times.

Take the light green thread and fill in the blank areas around the red in even smaller stitches.

Do this with two rows of stitches at cascading lengths.
