This pattern is a little more difficult than the basic outline/beginner patterns I normally post. I am going to post the PDF pattern below, but below the outline pattern you’ll find another PDF pattern with actual instructions on what colors I used in the pattern, along with which stitches.

Materials you’ll need to get started:

• DMC – 3341 (pinkish orange)
• DMC – 3820 (dark gold)
• DMC – 725 (topaz)
• DMC – S676 (shimmering yellow)
• DMC – 06 (light mushroom color)
• DMC – E168 (light effects silver)
• DMC – Diamant – Gold and Black thread
• Small clear beads, seed beads to slightly larger are best
• Embroidery hoop
• Muslin, or your choice of fabric
• Fabric scissors
• Embroidery scissors
• Embroidery needle
• Embroidery transfer pen (I love these)
• Lightbox or sunny window

Instructions for getting the pattern onto the fabric:

• Save PDF pattern (below – you will need both patterns)
• Print PDF pattern in the size you want (i.e. – 8×10, 5×7, 4×6, etc.) (I printed this one as 4×6) More on that here.)
• Tape pattern to the light box or sunny window
• Tape the fabric you want to stitch on over the pattern, being careful to center your design
• With embroidery pens, trace all lines onto the fabric
• Carefully remove tape from the fabric and pattern
• Place fabric in hoop and stitch

If you need help resizing the PDF patterns, here’s a tutorial.
