Hi Everyone! Let's talk about - Working with embellishments! I've been working with adding embellishments for quite a while. I've tried many things that work well and a variety of things that were an epic failure! I'm excited to share the things I've learned with you as well as pick up new tips and suggestions from the group. Adding the right embellishment to your item gives you the opportunity to stand out and create something unique and beautiful! So let's dive into this topic and experiment with some fun new ideas and techniques. Don't worry, I am a big fan of "Keeping Things Simple" while focusing on the end result looking amazing. I promise this will be a fun month!
In the videos posted below, I share with you an overview of the month long topic and then a hands on tutorial for using iron on and hand applied pre-made embroidered designs. I hope this will encourage and inspire you to try something new!
Pattern Overview:
-
Liberty Jane Paradise Cove Overalls (AG available now or WW coming soon!)
-
Liberty Jane T-Shirt Variations (AG, WW, H4H, Barbie, JG, KNC, BFC, AGAT)
-
Liberty Jane Jeans Bundle (AG, WW, H4H, JG, KNC, BFC, AGAT, Bitty)
- Liberty Jane Killara Dress/Top
-
Liberty Jane Avila Aviator (AG or WW) Simplest jacket to sew in bulk, just 3 pattern pieces!
-
Liberty Jane Denim Jacket (AG or AGAT, also fit BFC and it's a close fit for a WW but sleeves are a bit too long)
-
Liberty Jane Hello Oscar Dress (AG or Ellowyne)
Week One task:
- Watch the video :) Then go to work and create something amazing! I'd love to see an item that you've embellished using hand applied or ironed on designs. Share them under this post in the Facebook group.
Next Tuesday - Week 2: Applied trims and using fabric as an embellishment...

Hi Cindy
My package of iron on studs says to set your iron on the ‘cotton ’ setting. Which in my iron is the hottest setting. I hope this helps. :) I haven’t had time to try them yet.
