FAQs National Embroidery Month February 2021
National Embroidery Month FAQs
How is embroidery relevant today, besides logos for companies?
We 19d suggest checking out Pinterest and Instagram for examples of how artists are expanding boundaries and crossing genres using the needle and thread. One man, James T. Merry, has been featured in 1CThe Guardian 1D for his ability to marry ultra-corporate logos with organic embroidery, for example, a beautiful daisy blooming out of the Nike 1Cswoosh, 1D down to the flower 19s tendrils and roots. This dramatic juxtaposition is just one modern use of ancient art.
Where 19s the best place online or in person to get supplies?
The national chain crafts stores like 1CMichaels 1D and 1CJO-ANN Fabrics 1D are longtime suppliers of exactly the kind of tools, manuals and kits you 19ll need. If you 19d rather have items shipped to you, we recommend doing a simple 1CAmazon 1D search by seller or item ranking. Be savvy, and you 19ll end up with top-quality supplies at very reasonable rates.
Is it possible to make a living embroidering?
We 19ve always believed in the age-old advice, 1CDo what you love and the money will follow, 1D though that level of faith in yourself and the universe can seem hard to maintain for the first few months or years. It helps, even before you 19ve established your skill level and started to branch out to selling to friends and acquaintances, to draw up and strictly keep both a budget and a daily schedule, down to the hour or even half-hour.
During National Embroidery Month, this and every February, we 19re taking a moment to appreciate an art that 19s perhaps been underestimated, or at least underpublicized. Embroidery, the art of decorating fabric with needle and thread, has a vast and varied history, and still maintains a strong following of crafters today. Everyone has seen examples. From name labels on the breasts of work polos, to military insignia on veterans 19 hats, to the old jean jacket your favorite aunt put the design on by hand, it seems as though almost everything in the world of fashion is embroidered, or well could be 13 and embroiderers today are able to create just about any design.
Though most commercial embroidery is now done by computerized machine, the craft itself is believed to date back to 30,000 B.C. Cro-Magnon men and women, according to reports of an archaeological discovery, used fibrous plant threads and the sinews of animals to sew intricate rows of ivory, shells, and other materials to their various coverings and clothing. Other discoveries reported from Siberia and locations near there, as well as from Egypt, show embroidery used not only as decoration, but as a historical record and as a sign of social status.
