- Detached Blanket stitch is also quite often known as Detached Buttonhole Stitch too.
This tutorial will show you how easy it is to use make this stitch and use it to create the calyx of a dandelion flower. Also I'm showing how to stitch it flat as well.
Use it for flower petals, calyxes and beautiful edgings too...

Dear Marion, Sharon here (magnetic pins). As you know a little of my story I just wanted you to know my journey with my mum who was 96 with dementia ended on Wednesday, peacefully at home with us. I just wanted to thank you as mum and I watched your videos all the time, and your calming voice I know helped mum to rest and have quiet time as well as teaching me new skills along the way. Your presence in our lives was more profound than you can imagine. I will still be watching and you will no doubt teach me much more in my journey ahead. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. Xxxx
Oh Sharon.. I'm so sorry to read this... It's so humbling to read that my little videos helped her even a little bit.
I think you'll not be knowing what to do with yourself at the moment..
If you feel it would be of any help please message me via Instagram..you can send a private message on there.
My thoughts are with you and your family. 💐💐💐💐
sorry to hear about your mum, my mum is living in a care home these days she also has Alzhimiers it is not an easy joirmey for the loved ones.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in My thoughts and prayers.
Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow. I love this stitch. Thank you, Marion!
🧵🪡👍😊
I love these little tutorials. I can save them to my library and refer to them each time I need a refresher. Thanks Marion!❤❤
Perfect 🪡🧵
Thank you Marion for the video and demonstrating this stitch close up for us. I can see so many uses for this stitch and it looks so complicated when completed but simple to execute. I was up so early this morning, it was still dark. Stitching away to myself. Weather looks promising so I hope we both have a lovely day in the garden.
Thanks Carol. Stitches can look so complicated it's easy to dismiss them and choose a different one that you already know. But usually, when you just do it step by step, each part isn't that hard at all.
Happy stitching to you 🪡🧵😊
Well it is a pretty miserable day here, so what else would you be doing except catching up with UA-cam and stitching, I have learnt so much, thank you.
You're welcome 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial Marion. You make learning such a pleasure. I had to do this stitch in highschool home ec.The teacher was not kind. We used this stitch for making eyelets for hook and eye closers on our clothing. Woe betide the student who bungled a stitch in her class. I was glad I grew up in a household where my mother and both grandmothers were stitchers. Thus I was spared the dragons wrath. I learned to love sewing years before I had to endure this women. I know she discouraged many a young lady who would otherwise have enjoyed it. Thank you again for bringing us such a joy in stitches. 😊❤
Teachers can make such a difference.. Good ones too...
I always wondered what made her so unhappy? She was so knowlegeable that I took every class she taught, tho it was sometimes a trial. She taught advanced sewing and tailoring as well as pattern making and design. Because of her I was able to go on to have my own successful business, which I have long since retired from. In all fairness I think she may have felt that her talents were wasted on unruly teenage girls, and she may have had other dreams besides teaching in a small country school. I am sorry for calling her a dragon, it was not kind of me. Besides, like you I love dragon's. ❤️
Very simple and clear to understand. Thank you Marion x
Thank you Marion. This is a great stitch. You explain it so well, it gives me confidence to do it.
👍
The buttonhole stitch or detached buttonhole stitch is such a great stitch. So easy to make and you can do so much with it. I love to see how you can use them. Have a nice weekend Marion.
With all of the blanket stitch variations there are, I think it must be one of the most used embroidery stitches we have 🪡🧵
I think that is true. So many variations, and it start with only 1 stitch.
Thank you Marion! I learn so much from your videos!!! It really makes me think of how I can use this stitch.
Brilliant 😊
Thank you ! I didn't know this stitch ! Very well explained !
Goodness! I had never even heard of this lovely stitch before. Thank you very much for showing us how to work detached blanket stitch. It would be lovely to stitch some poppies using it if I could work that out- because of the way the poppies begin to burst out of the pod. I appreciate your skill and all you so kindly share . I m beginning to need a list of stitches and projects to try as work keeps me very busy .I have some holiday time coming up so will be taking some stitching projects with me of course . Always grateful for your videos xxx
Thanks Lesley.. it would definitely work for the base of a poppy.. especially the seed pod. I'd cut it a little slip of felt as a pattern and stitch it down with a scrap of stuffing underneath. Then make detached blanket stitch over the top....🤔
Just an idea 😊
Oh thank you- I will try it that way… would never have thought of doing the stitch over a padded base 😊
I love this dimensional way of doing dandelions. It could work for cornflowers or knapweed too. Very sweet❤
Absolutely 🪡🧵
Hi Marion, I love this stitch, I will definitely be having a go 🤗🤗 Its a very cool & blustery day here at Mollymook Beach ❄❄ 45km wind gusts, I just had to brave it & rescue some washing that had blown off the clothes horse on the verandah,that I'd forgotten to peg ..... just hoping none of hubbies boxers have made their way over the fence 😂😂🤣😂😂 Hope you're keeping well 😘😘
I hope it all got rescued Pauline 😂
Thank you Marion , you are such a good teacher and I’m enjoying all of these stitch tutorials. My very first ever detached blanket looks pretty good , thanks to you . Cheers from Sydney Australia
☺️👍
Love these tutorials Marion. Learning so much.❤
Excellent Poppy 😊
Thanks for this great tutorial Marion!!!❤
👍
That’s a lovely stitch. Thank you for showing us. I couldn’t see it very well on your book but this is great❤️❤️🦋
👍 I thought it was worthwhile doing it larger...
I'll be adding a new stitch to the playlist every Friday 🤞
I like this stitch Marion
Thank you. Good instructions and filming.
Awesome video! You do a wonderful job of instruction 💕. Love this stitch and will definitely be using it in my slow stitching! Thank you🥰
Thanks Rebecca. I remember the first time I did this and was so pleased with it I kept having to go and look at it to make sure I'd really managed 😂
Happy stitching to you..🪡🧵
Thank you, Marion, for your easy to follow instructions on this fun stitch. Your tutorials are much better than learning from written instructions plus it’s very nice to see you on Friday as well! Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks a lot 😊🪡🧵💐
Thank you, for always being an excellent instructor with very creative ideas 😊
😊
Thank you for showing this stitch. Another stitch I always avoided. Not in the future ❤
No reason to avoid... It's lovely..👍
Thank you so much for teaching the dandelion. I just made one on my landscape journal page and it looks fantastic. ❤
Perfect Rebecca ☺️

💐☺️
Thank you You have made it very clear. Blessings

Great tutorial👍🧡💐
I wanted to learn this stitch.
Thank you 😊🦘

It occurred to me that the flat blanket stitch you demonstrated would work wonderfully as a tiny pocket on a dolls dress if you stitched the bottom closed. This will work perfectly for a little dress I have been wanting to make for one of my childhood dolls. Does anyone remember the Crissy dolls from the 1970s, that you turned a knob on their backs to make their hair grow? I think this stitch on some clothes for her would help give it that retro 70s vibe. 😊
I remember Crissy... My sister had her and I remember making the hair grow...
Simple pleasures we had then....😊
My dad bought me Crissy's friend Kerry when I was about 10, at a church rummage auction for 5 dollars. I have cherished her every since. I still have her original clothes and shoes. The church lady that sold her had made extra outfits for her, which I also have. This lady was a fine seamstress, and made all her own clothes. I was a tomboy type girl, who didn't like dolls, but the fine tailoring of those doll clothes and that ladies talents really made me think about how clothes were made for the first time. I credit her for my initial interest in clothing design. My mom and grandmothers both sewed, but it was mostly utility quilts for charity, as well as some embroidery. Mom had 7 kids so there wasn't much time for fancy stitching. The hilarious stories I could tell of my moms attempts at sewing clothing would make you laugh. I mean no disrespect either. My mom is still living, she is 88. She would be the first to agree that she just couldn't ever seem to get the hang of it. I think she just needed your video's. 😊
I love this! Thanks, Miss Marion❤
Thank you 🪡🧵💐
Thank you for making things look so simple. xx
🪡🧵😊
Wow! That is fantastic! It would be a great way to add decorative loops to thread something through or hang something from. It looks like micro crochet🤩
It's the old way of making loops for hook closures at the neckline of dresses etc ..
@@marionsworld24 oh, yes!!! Except just one row, is that right? I remember doing that years ago, but I didn't know it was called detached blanket stitch😊Thanks, Marion, for reminding me of that application 😍
Hi Marion. Ever since I was a little girl I have always been fascinated by dandelions. So excited that you taught me how to stitch them! Your tutorial is outstanding! Thank you! Have a wonderful day!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Joanne...💐
I will have to give this a go. I did just blanket stitch around the edge of a little felt monster that made, I then crocheted around the edge of the blanket stitch to see how it looked. I am looking for ideas to upcycle a thrifted man’s sweater to make it into a casual cardigan for myself. I have cut it open and cut the sleeves to length. So now I want to edge it. Still pondering ……
Oh I did something similar with a thrifted woolen dress. I cut it right up the centre front and blanket stitched around with some colourful yarn and a bit of embroidery. I wear it often.... Good luck with your transformation...
@@marionsworld24 very cool! I am just starting my journey exploring upcycling and thrifting and sewing, so therapeutic
as always so clear I do not do embroidary of this kind but I just love the channel
☺️💐
So pretty! Your instructions make it look easy!❤
Because it is... ☺️👍
Love how you teach. I learn so much.
Thank you Carolyn 💐
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you for the the tutorials Marion, they are much appreciated🌸🙏 I used this stitch when making my pinwheel (after watching your pinwheel video) because I didn't have any decent ribbon.
I forgot I'd used it on there... Yes it's a good stitch to know 🪡🧵
Wow who knew, I never heard of this stitch! Looks like fun. Looks like a basket. Thank you.
It's a good one 😊
Thank you Marion!!
Good! Someone who knows blanket and button hole are different, yay! There are reasons they're different -- blanket has a smooth top, to avoid chafing, button hole has a knotted top, to withstand multiple passes of the button through the hole. But I've been assured I'm wrong on this by North American stitchers. Oh well. I learned all this in school. Great teaching in textile arts and dress making, in North Yorkshire.
You are definitely not wrong Liz!
I didn't really have time to go into it on the video, but they're two different stitches.
If you have a look at the Sewing for Naomi video from quite a way back... I'm explaining how to do a proper buttonhole stitch ☺️👍
I'm afraid my videoing wasn't very good at the time though... so occasionally it's a bit blurry 😏
Thank u once again marion
You're welcome Mary
Brilliant!
Thank you, Marion. This is a very versatile effect. I used to use this stitch to make the "Eye" for hook and eye closures. More attractive than the metal eye. Because of your tutorials, I now want to find a nicer alternate for the "Hook". Any ideas?
Yes me too 😊
🤔 I've not come across an alternative for the hook part though....
Thank you
❤ TFS
Great!!
Thanks
