Metrics for a newborn

For every parent, their baby's birthday is the most significant event in life. That's why many craftswomen prefer to make something special for this day, to create a product that will constantly remind them of the happiness of the mother and father, and will then remain a talisman for the child.

What is the purpose of the birth certificate? Firstly, to preserve memories, secondly, the birth certificate is considered a talisman for a newborn. Only the mother or grandmother can embroider it – from expensive and high-quality threads. The birth certificate can be in the form of a regular picture or as a patch on a pillow, blanket, or even clothing.

Metrics for newborns - cross stitch, patterns of products here can be very different. For example, you can embroider a picture of a baby and sew a tag from the maternity hospital there. This will remain in memory forever. Or embroider dates, height, weight, name and so on.

Cross stitch and beadwork

Embroidering a birth certificate is a long and painstaking process, into which you need to put all your love and care. According to ancient traditions, the more love you put into embroidering a birth certificate, the more positive consequences will come from the event embroidered on it. In other words, it is better not to sit down to embroider in a bad mood.

There are two ways to embroider a picture:

• beads;
• cross.

Bright and great events are usually embroidered with beads: a wedding, a wedding ceremony, a child's christening. The birth of a child, graduation from school, a birthday present - are traditionally embroidered with a cross. But it is not necessary to meet these standards.

Cross stitch is a fairly simple way to quickly and easily create a metric. To do this, you will need canvas or any fabric, threads and a pattern. The pattern can be purchased at any craft store or made by yourself for cross stitching. You can also buy an embroidery kit, which will contain all the necessary materials and tools.

As for bead embroidery, it is more painstaking work. But beads give their charm, texture and brightness to the product. To start bead embroidery, you need to take into account several nuances, for example, choose a thread for beads, the size and shape of the beads themselves, and a pattern is also needed.

Scheme for self-embroidering

Many craftswomen prefer to make their own patterns for their embroidery. There are two options: either look for a pattern on the Internet, or you can invent one.

You can find a simple pattern on the Internet and transfer it to a sheet of paper, preferably in a square. The pattern for embroidery is usually drawn in squares to make it easier to calculate and embroider. You need to transfer these squares to the sheet. This will be the finished pattern. It will be easier to embroider on canvas, but you can try on other canvases.

To create your own pattern, you first need to come up with a drawing. If it is a baby's metric, you can draw a sleeping baby in a stroller or a playing child, and next to it the number of his tag, height, weight, date of birth, and so on. After that, you need to independently calculate the drawing by squares and either transfer it to a sheet of paper in a box so as not to get confused, or start embroidering right away.

What else can be drawn on a child's metric:

• sailor;
• bear;
• stork;
• cross;
• brother or sister (if there are other children in the family);
• flowers;
• Sun;
• fish;
• birds.

Cross stitch patterns metrics

Due to the fact that all children are different, differ in their characters, views on life, thinking, logic and so on, the metrics for girls and boys are even more different. This should be taken into account during embroidery.

Metrics for a girl

The embroidery of the metrics for the future girl should be in warm colors, with gentle shades. On the canvas, in addition to the child or instead of him, there can be dolls, butterflies, angels, hearts, a beautiful bright sun, and so on. You can decorate with bright beads, silk threads.

This metric indicates that the girl will become gentle, feminine, smart, beautiful, well-mannered, and bright.

Metrics for a boy

The metric for a guy, on the contrary, should be in darker tones. Not black, but gray, blue, red, purple. This is a sign of masculinity, courage, intelligence, logic. Pictures can be: a sailor, a ship, an airplane, a sailboat, fish, a ball, a hockey stick, as well as a football goal, the sun, the sea, cars, tanks, and so on.

Bead embroidery - types

There are several types of bead embroidery for metrics and other products in general. Beads make a picture bright, beautiful, rich, alive. It takes a lot of work, but it's worth it. Another problem that worries many craftswomen is that if the thread breaks, all the beads will fall apart. To prevent this from happening, there are several techniques for securing each bead:

• "attached" technique;
• "vertical rows" technique
• "horizontal rows" technique;
• "partial stitching" technique.

A metric in embroidery is a description of a grand event in a person's life that you want to capture not only in a photograph. Such a product will become a talisman, will please the eye, lift the mood, and also bring comfort, peace and safety to the house.
