Instagram & Embroidery: the Couched Filling Stitch

Hello there 🙂 I am happy to *finally* be able to invite you to my Instagram feed!
My phone hated the IG app but eventually I convinced it to make it work. So that’s where I have been these past few days. I am still discovering some of the features but I like that it is simple and fast, so I expect to be posting lots of WIP-shots there.
So if you would like to, come have a look! Leave your name in the comments if you would like me to do the same. I am @audrey_studiopaars over there.

Anyway. I did a little embroidery inspired by this post on the wonderful Feeling Stitchy blog. This is called the Couched Filling Stitch and it is very easy – follow the link to their post for a very detailed tutorial.

A WIP shot.

And I kind liked the way it looked against the light:
