Look at this lovely hand-embroidered tablecloth I found at a yard sale! It had a few stains so I dyed it. The finished result was blotchy (I should have taken photos...hindsight is 20/20) so I used some Dylon Pre-dye. This is what it looks like now, softly shaded tones of warm beige & gray. Now I'm pressing it. The best way to press hand embroidery or any irregular texture is with a bristled cloth or pad. I happened to find one of those at a yard sale too! Use like you would a press cloth. Eventually I'll post what I'm turning this tablecloth into. I'm embroiled in embroidery! . . . #vintagelinens #embroidery #vintagetextiles #yardsalefinds #creativeprocess #thrifted #sewing #dyeing #vintage #sewingtechniques #slowfashion #whateverworks #sewingprocess #handsewing #handembroidery #drawnthread #drawnthreadwork #warmbeige #textileart #vintagecotton #drawnthreadembroidery (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRu68gL8MJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As promised, here are more wedding dress process photos. The first is little crochet accents for the bodice & skirt. The second shows the voluminous skirts tucked into a bag so I could re-hem them one layer at a time. Almost all of the dress was made of upcycled materials. The only new notions were the bra wires & lacing ribbon. . . . #Sewing #sewingprocess #formalgown #weddingdress #dreamstress #sewwhat #whateverworks #upcycleit #wedding #custommade #youdreamitimakeit #formalattire #fantasywedding #fantasy #tailormade #sewist #reducereuserecycle https://www.instagram.com/p/B35Rx0Og1p5/?igshid=bxprrt1g787y
