About this pattern

Traditional nursery rhymes have been around for centuries and still have a timeless appeal to children and parents alike. These pictures, simply framed, have a delightful vintage feel and would look lovely on a child’s bedroom wall. Though they require a bit of patience and dexterity, they can be stitched up in no time.

    Stitch a Jack and Jill embroidery

    1. Download and print the embroidery guides for this project. Trace the Jack and Jill motif to the centre of a 30cm square piece of cotton or linen. To transfer the design, trace it directly onto the fabric using an erasable pen. Alternatively, trace or photocopy it onto a piece of thin paper, go over the outline on the wrong side (mirror image) with a transfer pen, place the paper transfer side down on the right side of the fabric and press with a hot iron.

    2. Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop and thread a crewel needle with two strands of dark brown thread. Embroider the words, using split stitch. For the grass, thread the needle with two strands of green and work each blade using stem stitch; do the same for the outline of the hill. For the houses, fill in the roof shapes with satin stitch and embroider the outlines of the houses and windows in backstitch, using a single strand of embroidery thread.
