Hello Hive
Embroidery is done to enhance the beauty of your outfits, most times there is something you can do to make that dress, top or skirt look better. Trying different ideas can broaden your creativity over time, the more reason I do not hesitate to cease the opportunity to embroider to work with embroidery at every fashion store I work with.
Embellishments have taking different faces over the years such as we have the ones done with beads and pearls, we have ornamental stones now, rhinestones and alot and others done with needles and thread.
Quilting and several forms of this embellishments ideas.
But how can one get creative or know the kind of materials to use and bring out the beauty of your Outfits....
You can follow me to pickup an idea from what I have done here
I got some rice straw bead
White color pearls
Needles and Threads
And an already seen cap...
I pretty much forgot to bring a tutorial on how to sew this multipurpose cap but that can come in a latter time.
For today we are focusing on the embellishments of the cap
- The first step to take is mark at intervals where you want each strand of the embellishments to stay.
I used half inches intervals and marked this round the edge of the cap
You can see my half inches intervals in white chalk
- Next I picked the needles and counted about 15numbers of the straw bead into each strand securing the end with a petals.
I repeated the process for all the 0.5" intervals and you can see how beautiful the straw bead hands dangling over the edges of my cap
This process can be done on the edges of sleeves or recreated to other parts of your Outfits... A simple and beautiful process for my embroidery lovers.
