Reversible Blackwork Embroidery Patterns

During the Renaissance, reversible blackwork was used on collars and cuffs as a substitute for lace. It was a popular status symbol.

Many modern blackwork patterns are not reversible. It can be hard to find good designs for two-sided items like quilts, afghans, or curtains. I designed this adorable double-sided blackwork bear pattern myself!

This is a complete beginner's blackwork sampler that walks you through several easy blackwork fill patterns step by step with many detailed color diagrams. It includes advice about selecting materials, adapting the pattern for various uses and colors, and framing the finished piece.

The bear pattern is delivered instantly to your electronic bookshelf. You can read it on your computer or your favorite e-reader.

Blackwork Bears Pattern

These blackwork embroidery teddy bears are designed for 14 count Aida or 28 count Cashel linen and will display nicely in an 8 x 10 frame. The design is completely reversible, so it can be used in many ways. There are many detailed diagrams and instructions about how to adapt the pattern for other uses and color schemes, including crewel redwork embroidery.
