Fabric Decoration & Embellishment techniques
Browse all decorating topics
When you are create you start your clothing like blank canvas you wear. Any one else would think of it as just fabric, but for you it has a personality of its own - when you start adding a design, some color, a graphic, embroidery, or even a small hand-painted detail, on it.
When you do fabric manipulation and surface decoration on your clothing you’re turning something simple into something personal. One person might go bold with big prints and bright colors, while someone else keeps it minimal with a tiny stitched logo or a subtle design. There’s no single right way to do it, and that creative freedom is what makes every decorated clothing feel unique and expressive. Let today be the day you do something creative on your clothing.
