Story of the Falsterbo, Beach House design

The Falsterbo Beach House hand embroidery pattern is a summer dream for Scandinavian fans. Falsterbo is an adorable summer resort in the South West of Sweden. One of the symbols for the village are the small beach houses that you see along the beach front.

Nevertheless, it's not just the idyllic scenery that made us want to create a memorable design of this Swedish pearl. It's also the village where Elin grew up, which makes it a special place in our hearts. To best capture the atmosphere, the design is stitched with threadpainting technique. This means that the focus is on filling surfaces in a realistic fashion.

If you're new to thread painting, we've designed a full e-course on the this technique which you can find here. But in short, it's closely related to painting philosophy. You will ask yourself questions such as: Where does the light and wind come from? On the Falsterbo broderi you can see how the grass is lighter in some areas than others, which gives the impression that there are smaller hills. Furthermore, the slight diagonal direction of the straight stitches indicates that there is a wind blowing from the left.

Embroidery stitches used in this pattern:
