EMBROIDERY MOMENT
Thursday, December 08, 2016Okay, so I'm going to take a second to brag here. I recently have been obsessing over embroidered and patchwork denim (think Gucci denim jacket). I wanted something with some sort of embroidery so bad, but I also knew I wanted it somewhat custom and personal. That's when I put my DIY thinking cap on and decided why not try my hand at embroidery? I mean it can't be THAT hard right? Well I was wrong-sort of. I have a new-found respect for those that make those perfect embroidery projects! I started out by designing my own template. I sketched out my monogram and the flowers and leaves on paper, cut them out in as much detail as possible, and then traced it onto my jacket. It took a little time to get the hang of it-and I could have been doing it completely wrong the entire time considering I made it up as I went. After I kind of got the hang of it, it wasn't bad at all! Definitely took longer than expected but it was worth the wait. And now- I'm hooked! I'm soooooo happy with how it turned out, even tho there are some messed up spots, but that just makes it that much more personal and handmade looking. I paired it with a simple mauve body suite from Forever21 that I think I paid $10 for, and some black skinnies from Target. And of course my favorite go-to boots this season that you guys have seen so much! Until next time...
double kiss, Hannah

That looks incredible! I can't believe that you did that, how long did it take?

I'm glad you like it! It took about 8 hours spread out over 2 weeks. I thought before I started it would take 2 nights tops. Clearly I was wrong. haha
