T-shirts with embroidery look very impressive and original. Especially if the decoration is made by hand. Such a thing will become a true gem of the wardrobe. However, to do this, decorate the T-shirt with embroidery should be very careful and in accordance with fashion trends.
How to choose embroidery for a T-shirt
The embroidery on the shirt looks very nice. The thing turns out to be at the same time elegant and versatile, which allows it to be included in many ensembles. A skillfully made pattern or drawing will allow you to demonstrate your imagination, taste and handicraft skills.
To implement the idea, you need to decide on the topic of embroidery. First, pay attention to the global trends in clothing decoration. Today, at the peak of popularity, various floral ornaments, floral, mythological, fairy-tale motives. This kind of embroidery is perfect for decorating the collar area, and for covering the entire T-shirt. However, remember: creating such a handmade masterpiece requires serious experience. In this case, serious preparatory work will also be required: creating a scheme, selecting threads, etc.
If you have a little experience, you can more modestly decorate the T-shirt with embroidery. For example, take a ready-made pattern or drawing with a diagram and a ready-made set of floss. Novice needlewomen should pay attention to very simple ideas. For example, a small drawing, an emblem, simple vignettes are perfect. This embroidery can be placed asymmetrically in the top / bottom corner of the shirt or along its edges.
Another important point: style. Some experienced needlewomen choose a very difficult path: they use beads, ribbons, beads, etc. However, the most common ways to decorate a T-shirt with embroidery is to work with a satin stitch or a cross.
T-shirt decoration with cross stitch
To embroider even a small picture / cross stitch on a T-shirt, stock up on the right materials. In addition to the pattern, you will need threads, a special needle, a dissolving or pulled out canvas, pins, and a hoop. If the shirt is thin, get a special fabric for the wrong side - it will prevent the embroidery from warping.
When all the tools are ready, iron the shirt thoroughly. Determine the location of the future embroidery and pin the canvas to this place with pins. Please note: there should be a few centimeters of headroom at the edges, because during operation, the canvas may gradually crumble. Mark the beginning of the embroidery with a marker or pencil.
Place a reinforcement cloth on the back. If in doubt about your agility, sweep it along the contour. Start embroidering the shirt, moving from left to right and sewing all three layers of materials. When the embroidery is ready, strip it off and remove the canvas using the method suggested by the manufacturer.
Satin stitch embroidery: delicate painstaking work
Satin stitching on a T-shirt is not an easy job. In this case, there are practically no schemes: the final beauty will depend on your experience, diligence and sense of color. For satin stitch embroidery, you will also need special needles, floss threads, a hoop and a lining.
First, apply the pattern of your choice to the shirt. A regular pencil or fabric marker will help you to do this. If you are unsure of your artistic skill and are afraid to make mistakes, transfer the sketch from paper through a carbon copy.
You should also start sewing from left to right. Carefully follow the progress of the embroidery on the pattern - this will help to avoid omissions and mistakes. If you want to make the decoration more original, add unusual elements to the work. For example, make the core of the flowers from beads or add gold / silver to the usual threads. Such a small detail will give the embroidery an original flavor.
