Final pattern

I decided to test out stitching styles on basic cotton material. I used black and dark yellow thread and cotton to do this. I hoped to see how simple or hard it was to do this stitching and whether I should use it it for my top. If I didn't practice this, than the idea perceived may be completely different from the actual piece. The pattern was quite simple at times but tricky to get the stitches even. I need to practice this in order to have a clean, detailed result. The second attempt I did included thick thread, as I used it as an outline. I want to create a thicker effect and think this has really helped achieve this goal. I will use this style for my final piece as I think it has turned out the way I wanted it too and has also helped me understand more about hand stitching and the process of embroidering.
