Core Concept
Exploring Floral Embroideries
Around two months ago, I bought a second-hand jacket on Depop. It was shipped from Greece and is made out of all-natural materials. However, I never wore it. I felt like it looked too big and very bland. I want to transform this jacket by taking in the shoulders a little and adding hand embroideries.
I am also knitting my first sweater. I also plan on adding floral embroideries to this sweater. I feel like embroideries are typically done onto non-knit fabrics. I want to use a tapestry needle and a lightweight yarn to embroider on the sweater.
I want to explore different types of floral embroideries. I plan on learning how to hand embroider a variety of flowers. If time permits, I also want to do computerized embroidery on the back of the jacket.
