Embellishment Explosion #42
Endless Options
By Pauline Richards, Total Embellishments

ENDLESS OPTIONS was planned for you to customize and make your own. The embellishment can be as simple or complex as you wish. If you need an elegant evening jacket consider making the jacket from black wool and doing the satin stitching in black rayon or polyester embroidery thread. The edges could be highlighted with black bugle or seed beads. Need something more noticeable? Complete the satin stitching in gold metallic thread and finish the edges in silver or lighter/darker gold metallic thread.

If you're a "denim" person, why not choose denim as your base fabric and complete the stitching in multicolored embroidery or jean stitching thread. Edgestitching can be done with the same thread or pick up one of the colors from the multi colored thread. I've included six options.

OPTIONS:

1) Wide, wavy satin stitching 
2) Wide, wavy satin stitching with narrow satin stitching along each side
3) Wide, wavy satin stitching with two rows of narrow satin stitching on the other.
4) Wide, wavy satin stitching with straight stitching on each side
5) Wide, wavy satin stitching with straight stitching and long hand sewn beads on one or both sides
6) Wide, wavy satin stitching with long hand sewn beads on one or both sides
