\"Embellish<\/a>There’s a reasonably new textiles magazine on the Australian market called Embellish<\/a>. Its focus is shibori, embroidery, and other textiley things. I got in contact with the girls there a while ago to send them a copy of The Left-Handed Embroiderers Companion<\/a> for review.<\/p>\n

A few days later after receiving their copy, one of the editors Michelle, got back to me, asking me if I would be interested in contributing to the magazine, embellishing a garment with embroidery for each issue. I thought it was worth giving it a go! Michelle commented that kids clothing often has embroidery on it, and why should us adults have to miss out?<\/p>\n

Michelle sent me a shawl and said “Do something with this.” And so I did. The resulting project features embroidered and beaded roses, and you can see it on the left of the cover. Its simple enough that its achievable quite quickly, even if you’ve not really done much embroidery before. And it makes an ordinary garment quite special.<\/p>\n

In the next few days the new issue – Issue 3 – of the magazine will be out in newsagents. In there is the review of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion<\/a>, and the first of my embroidered articles of clothing. My favourite thing in the magazine was an article on a shibori artist called Amy Nguyen. Her work is amazingly beautiful!<\/p>\n

So if you haven’t seen this magazine yet, give it a go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
