Stitch Showcase: Layered Lazy Daisy Stitch

January 12, 2022

Layered lazy daisy stitch is a variation of lazy daisy stitch and can be used if you want to fill in the centre of a lazy daisy stitch .

  • I recommend working this stitch by creating the inner lazy daisy and then then outer one

  • Bring the needle up through the fabric at the point where you want your stitch to start (A)

  • Take it back down as close as possible to the original hole

  • Gently pull the thread through until you have a small loop - don't pull fully tight at this point

  • Push the needle up through the fabric at the point where you want the stitch to end, 5mm is a good length (B)

  • Create a tiny straight stitch over the loop so it can’t come loose (C)

  • Repeat the steps above creating the start and end points of the stitch just a millimetre away from the first.

Want to try this stitch? It’s not one that is currently included as a recommended stitch for any of my kits but you can switch this for any of the stitches in the floral stitch sample kit that you can find here.
