I like to embellish the collars, lapels, cuffs etc of jackets with free form machine stitchery and sometimes rubbing plates with oil based crayons which are heat set. I also like to make handbags with this method. Would love to win the book, lots of great info inside I’m sure. Best, Ani

I’ve recently started embellishing many small projects and I think this would be very inspirational. A nice addition to my library!

I love adding ribbons and bows (especially to lingerie), but would also like to explore hand embroidery.

Hand embroidery! I just purchased a book called Fine Embellishment Techniques, and so in love with it. Like every book that can teach me at least one new thing I didn’t know before.

I like buttons- they can be found in so many different colors and always make you curious whether there’s a pocket or not.

The Quilt Guild I belong to is hosting a festival next year, where every delegate will get a goody bag. They will each receive a luscious little layering a LLL which will be exactly like the little quilts in this book. What an inspiration!

The Quilt Guild I belong to is hosting a festival in 2014, where we are giving each delegate a goodie bag which will contain a luscious little layering, like the ones in this terrific book. What an inspiration for us.

EEEEH! A whole BOOK of embellishment ideas?!?! WANT!!!

I’m pretty enamored with fringe, lately, but it’s soooo expensive :( I really like crazy buttons, too.

Beading! I love beading. Even just a little can go a long way to make a dress just a simple day dress to a day to night dress. And I love multi use clothing like to day to night dresses :)

Lately I have become interested in Rouleau.

This book looks like it would be a shot of inspiration to get one’s sewing mojo going . Something fun with satisfying results in a low commitment time frame. Perfect for this time of the year when we are all sew busy !!!! edited to include my favorite embellishment is machine or hand applique :) I was so smitten with this little book that I didn’t read the directions before answering. my bad

BEADS! I love to add beads to necklines or just scattered randomly on a shoulder.

Dec 1, 2012, 01.13 PMby SewingDenise

Hard question, there are so many. I would have to say embroidery of one kind or another. Thank you for hosting so many fun giveaways.

I love to use lace for emblishment! Thanks for the chance to win this great givaway :)

I like to directly manipulate the fabric – pintucks, pleats, origami, that kind of thing

My favorite garment embellishment is usually hand embroidery and/or beading…..but I also love embellishing with felt shapes to which I also add hand embroidery and/or beading.

I love bold contrasts in fabric or trim.
