Using a jean jacket which I purchased, I put lace down with temporary spray adhesive. Once I was happy with the arrangement, I stitched around the outside edges. I embroidered various florals from Hatched in Africa's Jacobean Jewels I and II over the lace. I used various shades of salmon pink, corals and mauve for the florals. | |
I took the lace and florals around the sides but not into the front since there are more seams, pockets, brads, etc., to interfere with embroidery. The back seams and side seams caused no problems. | |
I did add this little flower to the front collar just to tie front and back together with the theme. I am happy with the results but have to wait until it's cooler to wear it!! | |
Here's a little purse I just finished for this outfit. It is a "purse-in-the-hoop" from Embroidery Library. The purse is made out of denim. I put lace under the embroidery and used the same colors as on the jacket. The closure is a snap. These little purses are cute and fast. |
