When all your pieces are sewn into place, but before you assemble the bag, pillow or whatever that your making - the really fun part begins! This is where you embroider along the seams, add lace, charms, ribbons, beads... You can embroider runes, stars, moons, suns, shimmering spider webs.
All you really need to know is a few basic embroidery stitches. If you've never embroidered before, I suggest a few practice runs on a spare piece of fabric. And remember, if you do mess up - you can always remove the stitch and take another stab at it! You needn't start your whole project over from scratch.
Close up of my current project...yes, another Tarot Bag.
