Further investigation...

A friend of mine gave me a wool vest to embellish. She wanted me to do something colorful because she found the vest too bland...

I used the same technique I used on the throw.

The ranks are made of knitting wool. The leaves are made of a woolen fabric and I used the embellisher to bond them to the vest. I did some button stitch around them just to frame them because their color was too pale.

  1. This new technique of yours is something very special.It's wonderful to see the different textures of the fabric and wool mesh together into one exciting new fabric with the embellisher.This might be the final straw in me caving in and buying one...the expense has put me off until now,but I really want to try this for myself!

  2. Your technique looks great on this vest. I really love the bright colors of the yo-yo's with the more autumnal colors of the wools. It's a very nice effect.
