Fashion Embroidery: Embroidery Techniques and Inspiration for Haute-Couture Clothing

Product Information

The contrasting colours and subtle use of coral coloured piping make the pieces at once wearable and whimsical.

A dual emphasis is placed on the innovative use of traditional hand and craft techniques with digital processes to promote the idea of sustaining textile crafts in the future. Whether you are stitching a flower on your favourite jacket, adding sparkling beads to a new dress or creating a goldwork embellishment, Fashion Embroidery teaches you how to add a unique touch to your clothes. For me, how I wash my embroidery depends on how durable my stitches are and how I normally wash a particular item of clothing.
