If you are someone who enjoys jumping out of your comfort zone when it comes to your wardrobe, then this project is for
you. Upgrade any of these designs by adding your own special touch. This means even the lining! For our project, we chose
a dark green patterned fabric to compliment the colors in the design. A dark lining is ideal when trying to hide leftover chaos
from carrying your essentials. If you are a big fan of designer handbags, you will notice that often times, there is a print on the
inside each bag. Feel free to explore solids and unique prints, or even shiny materials like lamé.
There are also many different ways to embellish your embroidered items. From shiny, metallic threads, to quirky buttons,
pearls, gems and more, let your imagination run wild when embellishing with this project! With a mix of the embroidered
details from our quilt blocks, to adding in some bead work, your color combinations can be endless. Grab a set of sparkly
beads to pair with matte threads. Your new accessories will not go unnoticed!
