Silk Dressing Scarves Embellished with Embroidery
|
Sheer natural or polyester silk scarves are beautiful as they are,
but with the help of embroidery you can make them look oustanding.
|
|
|
The light-weight fabric asks for an airy, light designs. Redwork
or outline designs are a very good choice.
|
|
| On both scarves, the black and the white ones, we used the the
Celtic
Redwork motifs. |
| Make print-outs of the designs you like to mark their placement on
the scarf. Hoop the scarf with a layer of water-soluble stabilizer. We
worked with thin Solvy. Embroider the motif, re-hoop and embroider the
next motif. |
|
| On both ends of each scarf, we embroidered two rows of designs. When
the embroidery is finished, place the scarves into a bowl of warm water.
Change the water several times until you wash away all the stabilizer without
residue. |
|
| Hang the scarves on a line to air dry. Normally they will not need
ironing, but if you feel like ironing, be careful and use the silk temperature. |
| As an additional embellishment, you can place some beads on the
tassels. |
|
| We also have a page showing how to make and embellish the beautiful
purse shown on the picture. |
