how to: fake embroidery

This project here 

is for the audience out there 

that doesn't know how to embroider!

There are a lot of things you can do refashion-wise if you know how to embroider. 

But embroidery is no joke, it's a real art, and I'm for sure in the large part of people that know nothing about it. (beside a little cross stitch and needle point, yeah, right) 

That's why I managed to cheat! ah!!

{all from my stash!!}

All you need is:

* plain sweater (or twin set)

* water soluble marker

* ruffle yarn (Sundance Frill Yarn)

* thin yarn for sewing

* wool needle

* scissors

Follow the easy-peasy step-by-step photo-tutorial !

Once finished with the fake/faux embroidery, rinse your sweater and lay flat to dry.

I've got the idea from one of last year's Anthropologie sweater: I liked a lot the right side - not much the left part ;)
