Mandala Monday – Easy stitching project for beginners – Mandala by Sarah Homfray Embroidery

Easy stitching project for beginners – Mandala by Sarah Homfray Embroidery is the first embroidery mandala tutorial I have posted. There have been a number of tutorials on crocheted mandalas which have been very popular, so I thought I would see what I could find in the way of mandala tutorials in other types of needle craft.

Here is Sarah Homfray’s description of this video:

Beginners hand embroidery tutorial showing the creation of a simple mandala design. Designed and presented by Sarah Homfray, a graduate of The Royal School of Needlework 3-year apprenticeship and a professional hand embroiderer and tutor.

This embroidery project creates a very pretty mandala. Sarah’s instructions are very clear and simple. I hope you enjoy making one or these.
