Choosing Extra Embellishments for Fashionable Old Clothing

Video Transcript

"My name is Julia Morgan and my clothing line is Frocky Jack Morgan. On behalf of Expert Village, this is a tutorial on recycling and deconstructing old clothes. So now we’re going to talk about actually embellishing something a little simpler, like a T-shirt that has just some stain from a pen on it. So I have this T-shirt with a stain, and I’m just going to lay it out before I embellish it, and try to figure out from my tray of goodies here what I might want to add to the garment. And this actually is off of another T-shirt and I really like it because it's so graphic, so I think I’m going to start out with that and lay that over the stain and then see if there is anything else I need to add. And it doesn’t look like I need to cover anything, so I’m just going to look at how I can make it more interesting. So I might add something with a rhinestone or some sequins, or I might just use loose beads and bead along the edges as I sew. So I don’t know that I really want to use those things, I’m still kind of trying to evaluate what I like with this image and this color. And I think I might even use some leather buttons, just because I think those are just kind of fitting with the maroon color of this image. "
