5TH Avenue - Rose Blazer in Anchor: Embroidery Design Summary

What is Being Made

The Rose Blazer is an embroidered blazer featuring a decorative rose design positioned on the collar. This intermediate-level embroidery project transforms a standard blazer into a personalized garment by adding a floral embellishment. The design is created by AnchorCrafts.com (Design No. 0022174-00000-03) and is suitable for crafters with some embroidery experience.

Design Specifications

The rose motif measures 7.8 cm x 5.8 cm and is strategically placed on the blazer collar as the focal point of the embroidery. The compact size makes this design manageable while creating a noticeable decorative element on the finished garment.

Embroidery Techniques Used

This project utilizes cross stitch as the primary embroidery technique. The cross stitch method involves creating X-shaped stitches across a grid pattern to build the rose design. To facilitate accurate stitching on fabric that is not traditionally counted, the pattern employs waste canvas—a temporary grid fabric that is secured to the blazer with tacking thread, providing the necessary structure for precise cross stitching. Once the embroidery is complete, the waste canvas is carefully removed, leaving only the finished cross-stitched rose on the blazer fabric.

Stitches and Materials

• Primary Stitch: Cross stitch
• Thread: Anchor Stranded Cotton (Anchor Mouliné Art. No. 4635000), available in multiple shades to create the rose design
• Supporting Materials: Waste canvas (cut to size and secured with tacking thread), embroidery needle suitable for stranded cotton

Thread Quality Standards

All Anchor threads used in this project are produced in accordance with Oeko-tex standards, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility. The threads have been tested for pH values and color dye lot consistency, meeting global fastness standards for durability and colorfastness through washing and wear.

Difficulty Level and Suitability

Rated as intermediate difficulty, this embroidery project is designed for crafters who have basic embroidery knowledge and experience with cross stitch techniques. The manageable design size and clear placement guidance make it an achievable project for developing embroidery skills.

Care and Maintenance

The finished embroidered blazer should be cared for according to standard washing instructions for cross stitch projects. The Oeko-tex certified threads and tested dye lots ensure that the embroidery will maintain its color and integrity through proper laundering.
