When I started this I wasn’t sure if I would finish! Sticking the fabric to the tongue is a bit fiddly, you need lots of glue and you need to let it really dry before cutting around the edges. To stop fraying you can apply a fray stop glue. I’ve edged around the tongue in a blanket stitch. 💛 I must admit, I love them now they are done!

Whipped backstitch using existing seams is so simple, but sooooo effective!! What do you think? You could use all one colour embroidery thread, two colours, or go for every colour you can find 😊 there’s also variegated thread which would look amazing! . . #embroideredshoes #handmadestyle #embroideryinstaguild #dmcembroidery #sewing #embroideryart #embroideryhoop #embroidered #embroideryartist #embroideryartwork #madeintheuk #supportsmallbusiness #britishstitchers #embroiderywork #upcycledfashion #hoopartembroidery #handmadewithlove #embroideryhoopart #embroidelicious #whippedbackstitch #modernembroidery #contemporaryembroidery #bordado #broderiemoderne #broderiemain #embroidery #handmadeembroidery #createdtocreate #handmadeisbetter #craftsposure

Fluffy Flower - I’ve used dmc embroidery threads which can be washed in the machine, to re fluff the flower brush up with a small dry brush, like a toothbrush 😊 I’ve stitched this flower on to denim but you could just stitch on to fabric in an embroidery hoop 🩷 . . #upcycledclothing #upcycledfashion #embroideredflowers #embroideredclothing #embroidereddenim #embroideredclothes #embroideredflorals #learntoembroider #mindfulart #slowstitching #sewingproject #embroiderypatterns #bordadolivre #createdtocreate #diycrafts #slowcraft #dmcthreads #dmcembroidery #springflowers #embroiderydesign #beginnerembroidery #embroiderywork #denimembroidery #sustainablefashion #embroiderhappyhoops #embroiderytutorial #embroideryprocess #embroideryproject #handsew

Seed Bead Eyelets - I’ve kept it colourful, but there are so many types of seed beads out there, you’ll definitely find something to your taste! There are matt, metallics, pastels, see through… I’ve backstitched the beads in to place using a couple of strands of embroidery floss! My daughter’s feedback… “oh these are cute!” ☺️ . . #seedbeads #seedbead #embroideredshoes #handmadestyle #embroideryinstaguild #dmcembroidery #sewing #embroideryart #embroideryhoop #embroidered #embroideryartist #embroideryartwork #madeintheuk #supportsmallbusiness #britishstitchers #embroiderywork #upcycledfashion #hoopartembroidery #handmadewithlove #embroideryhoopart #embroidelicious #whippedbackstitch #modernembroidery #contemporaryembroidery #bordado #broderiemoderne #broderiemain #embroidery #handmadeembroidery #createdtocreate

I wanted to try adding some colour to this distressed area. It’s not perfectly neat but I just thought I’d experiment before buying myself a mini mending loom. As I enjoyed the process so much, I’ve just ordered one. I think i will use it a lot so I’m looking forward to it arriving this week. Keep look out for my future reels when I try to use it! 😊 . . #mending #upcycledclothing #upcycledfashion #embroideredflowers #embroideredclothing #embroidereddenim #embroideredclothes #embroideredflorals #learntoembroider #mindfulart #slowstitching #sewingproject #embroiderypatterns #bordadolivre #createdtocreate #diycrafts #slowcraft #dmcthreads #dmcembroidery #springflowers #embroiderydesign #beginnerembroidery #embroiderywork #denimembroidery #sustainablefashion #embroiderhappyhoops #embroiderytutorial #embroideryprocess #embroideryproject
