The two books are making progress together. For “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” I have been continuing to work on promotional material, and for the new mysterious book I have been continuing to embroider, research and think through ideas.<\/p>\n
I personally like the idea of wearing hand embroidered clothing. It is embroidery that gets used. I have a couple of embroidered shirts that I enjoy wearing, and for the Sardinian book, I made a dress with an embroidered border, seen right on the sample book pages. I love wearing it!<\/p>\n
For this next book, I am seriously considering including another garment. I just really like the idea of wearing the fruit of my labour. Apart from anything else, it is a really good advertisement for what I do – it is a very practical way of showing people what I do all day!<\/p>\n
When we think of embroidery on clothing, we often think of smocked dresses for little girls, grub roses on singlets for little babies. Why do babies and children get all the fun? Why don’t we adults wear embroidery on our clothing more often? One practical reason could be that children are smaller, therefore less time is required to embroider their clothing!<\/p>\n
Two of the magazines that I have worked with were always interested in projects that either put embroidery on existing clothing or that had embroidery that was done and then included in the construction of the garment.<\/p>\n
Embroidery on clothing was one of the main reasons I wanted to do the pattern drafting course that The Reader and I have been doing over the past year and a half now. I used those skills to draft the pattern for the dress in “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery”.<\/p>\n
Do you like the idea of wearing embroidered garments? Is this something you already do? Have you embroidered either on existing clothing or on components that have been then made into a new garment? Is it something you would like to do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
