Monograms are one of the most popular items that we embroider and these tips will help you make them stand out!

Monograms are especially popular for weddings, college students, and our own personal home accessories.

As elegant as monograms can be, it is no wonder that they were once used only by royalty, even as an ancient form of currency. You can find monogram fonts here.

Classic Monogram

Single-letter monograms are typically used most often used for the first name initial (children and single women) or the initial of the last name of single men and married couples/partners.

Victorian Floral Border

Ornate frames make single-letter monograms stand out even more and textured backgrounds add an heirloom touch.

Rose Monogram

Match fonts to the project style. Have fun with themes, whether they are monograms or fonts, perfect for kids, to accent monograms.

Split Applique

Split monograms are quite popular for adding both first names and last names. Some even add a wedding date or year of the established birth or union.

Looking for a project for my blog, I saw so many torn jeans that I thought, I don’t wear them, but the younger people in my family do. They were described with a lot of adjectives – hole, torn, ragged, and shredded jeans. There are hundreds of methods to create these marvels of mayhem, or you can just buy them.

Ripped jeans aren’t a new trend—not by a long shot. The distressed style has fallen in and out of fashion favor since the 1980s, but it seems that lately, they’re more popular than ever. If you want specific steps to mangle a pair of jeans, check the Internet, there are so many ideas for creating a fashion trend. After nearly 40 years, this process has been honed to an art.

Among the materials you will need for distressing jeans:

·        There are probably more ‘needs’ but that seems to be the basic recipe.

·        Give everything to one of the kids, excluding the knives, and let them show their talent at destruction.
