The Accidental Embroiderer: A free pheasant

A free pheasant

This month we have quite a recent design as a freebie – it’s one of the pheasants from the Pheasants in Glenbuchat panel that I posted a few weeks back. I’ve simplified it a lot by removing some of the stitching and combining some of the applique areas so that now there are only two appliqués rather than the original three. This should all make it easier to stitch out, but it still looks much like the original. The effect of the pheasant will depend largely on the fabric you choose for the applique steps. In the stitchout I used a blotchy brownish-red for the body and a blotchy grey-brown for the wing. Both areas are pretty thoroughly overstitched (apart from the breast area) but all the same if you can use printed fabric for these areas, it will help suggest the variegated plumage of the bird

The pheasant is lovely and I plan to use some variegated thread to suggest the color variations. Please let him fly over to my email. Thank you very much.

I love your pheasant. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I'd love to have it also.

Hi Mia, Your pheasant is awesome and I think some variegated thread with the mottled fabric you suggested might help to give the wings and body more color. I would love to have your pheasant design. Thanks for considering my request.
