woa. Further experiments in, effectively, creating your own fabric designs. Eye candy, indeed. It's rare for me to get this excited about a(nother) sewing book.

Prior to my birthday, Mum had offhandedly asked me: did I like embellishments? Embellishments. A concept that has gained a bad rep, thanks to scrappy leftovers rosettes, and sweatshirts sporting appliqued quilting cotton prints outlined in squiggle paint. I world-wearily said no. But I've changed my tune now. This is the new and improved version of embellishment, a modern and yet still authentic approach.
