Product Description
Product Description
You don't have to be a needlework expert to add fashion embellishment techniques from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s to your wardrobe. With just a little practice anyone can create an elegant beaded gown, add custom-made braiding to a simple blouse, art deco trims and piping to a jacket, or use traditional threadwork techniques to spice up a linen caftan. The author has adapted these decorative applications for today's clothing. Her ideas will spark the creative spirit of all needleworkers, from beginners to the most experienced.

Great book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fine Embellishment Techniques: Classic Details for Today's Clothing (Hardcover)
This book is full of wonderful ideas of how to add that extra zip to the clothes you make, or even pre-made clothes. The suggested designs are elegant, not craft-sy like most of the information and designs that are available on the subject.

An embellishment book which teaches techniques I would actually wear,

This review is from: Fine Embellishment Techniques: Classic Details for Today's Clothing (Paperback)
I love this book. The techniques are clearly explained, then a guide given on how to do them. The finished projects look mature and professional, unlike a lot of simple 'make your own clothes' type books which create an end result designed to look like you got dressed in the dark. A great gift or treat for the more confident seamstress.
