Embroidery Pattern: Sakura.
You will learn 3 Stitches At a Time – Brick Stitch, Plucked Knots, Open Back Stitch.
Springtime is magical and watching the beauty of the Sakuras blooming in pink and white is something that cannot be explained. Standing upon a small bridge that is overshadowed by these flowers makes us wish that it lasts forever. Well, we will miss this magical season. A pattern inspired by the flowers and colors that always awed us. Don’t forget to upload your finished work here!
Tips:
- Try the Brick Stitch with different thicknesses of threads to understand how they give different end results. The thinner the thread, the smoother the filling. It is best done in a satin thread.
- If you want to smoothen the edges, use the Stem Stitch or the Back Stitch to work the outline.

The 3SAT Embroidery Project uses patterns and designs that will help you to learn the embroidery stitches quickly and easily. While most of us can learn the stitches, it is difficult to get a pattern where we can apply those stitches while learning. Also, not all of us are comfortable creating patterns to stitch. The 3SAT Project patterns are so easy that you can draw them just by looking at them. Or, just print them out and transfer them to your fabric. Each pattern uses only three stitches, making it super fun and easy to do! You can also use your own imagination and stitches to work over these patterns!

My Sakura flowers. I love the way it looks. The edges were not so smooth, so I used Back Stitch to outline. The Brick Stitch is great and I will use it more often in my other patterns. Thanks.
This is lovely, Bharati. You have done a beautiful job! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I like side by side stem stitch for tasks like this because it’s possible to get so many shadings and undulations to give a realistic result.
Side by side stem stitch, also called Cable Stitch is a great idea for fillings! If you have a sample, do try share it here. 🙂
Thank you for the lovely stitches, so easy to follow .
Please could you give me some ideas for filling a large treetrunk. I am working on a crewel firescreen using wool.
Kind regards,
Marcia
Hi Marcia,
Like Kathy tried to respond, Cable Stitch is great for such fillings…it gives a texture that is more realistic effect for the tree trunk. I have also tried rows of the laced running stitch placed close to each other, and it had worked great for my project.🙂
