This is some of my Pattern Darning for Stitch Exploration in August.
The half circles and crescent I found at
www.victorian-embroidery-and-crafts.com/
The description of the needlework is at the above URL - scroll to the end of the stitch dictionary and just below this is 'fancy embroidery stitches'
I left them part done so the chain stitches could be seen. I have not used chain stitch for padding before and found it quicker and easier to prepare the shape. Here it is done with wool but I am also trying it on cotton fabric with different threads.
