5.0 out of 5 stars
Tips on using applique, embroidery, and beading,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Embellish Chic (Paperback)
This set of clothing embellishment guides from Taunton Press carefully and clearly explains how to use additions of beads, ribbons, and other trims to translate usual to unusual clothing. The tips on using applique, embroidery, and beading to enhance these garments blend step-by-step instructional photos with finished results and are inspirational and revealing.

This review is from: Embellish Chic (Paperback)
Just received my copy today and really love the basic beading instructions. Many books don't provide detail how-tos and easy-to-follow beading illustrations, so I appreciate this book. A solid reference for those interested in learning embellishment techniques.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Too Basic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Embellish Chic (Paperback)
The author is very detail oriented and explains each technique well. However, there are no unique or inspiring examples. They are extremely common and plain. This book is definitely not for the artsy and creative person looking for that one new and inspiring method to express and create. I want to pack it up and ship it right back.
