You will learn to experiment with placements of embroidery, or other embellishments of your choice, to easily find ways to cover up stains or holes, even when they appear in places we might not want to draw attention to.

You get to use a range of floral illustrations to cut and move around with various prompts to help you think differently about your design, and you will learn how you can document and transfer your ideas to your clothes as well as some tips on how to apply designs to elastic garments.
