Adding brightness

Drawing
Perhaps the easiest way is color printing. All you need for this kind of creativity is a stamp and paint.
Advice! A very interesting result can be obtained by using halves of an apple and a pear as a stamp.
After thoroughly drying the fruits, apply paint to them (red, yellow, green according to your desire). By pressing the fruit tightly to the surface of the clothing, in a few seconds we will get a clear imprint.
We use lace
Despite the fact that T-shirts and sweatshirts initially belong to the category of sportswear, we use them with great pleasure in everyday wear. And with appropriate decoration, it can also be used as elegant clothing.
A plain sweatshirt with lace or guipure appliqué looks very romantic.. By carefully sewing elegant lace patterns, we get an elegant knitted blouse.
Embroider
If you master the art of embroidery, then you have the power to transform a boring piece of clothing beyond recognition.
In this case, you can use simple hand embroidery techniques:
- seam in the attachment;
- stalk suture;
- rococo;
- satin elements.
Advice! Cord embroidery looks very interesting. Using this method, you can place a floral or stylized ornament on the chest or back.
In this case, the lines should not intersect. Usually twisted, knitted cords are used. A pattern made from a flat soutache cord or decorative snake braid looks very impressive..
And finally, for experienced craftswomen it is possible to perform embroidery on a knitted product using the Richelieu technique, which always looks elegant and elegant.
Making an applique
- The sweatshirt looks organic, decorated with leather. These can be braids woven from leather laces, appliqués of their leather fragments.
- Interesting solution - flyaway applique, especially if you choose parts of several colors to achieve a gradient effect.
- The application can be voluminous. Butterflies or floral motifs made from felt or crocheted are perfect for this technique.
We use the Irish lace technique
Individual details are also crocheted using the Irish lace technique, for example, the sleeves of a T-shirt or inserts on the back or front of the product. The attention of others to such a sweatshirt is guaranteed!
Adding bright fabric
You can completely change the appearance of a boring jumper by sewing romantic flounces or an imitation of a draped scarf at the neckline.
We decorate the sweatshirt with sewn-on details
What can you use for decoration? Anything. Don’t be afraid of small and painstaking work, lay out and sew fancy patterns of beads and sequins.
Advice! If you are not sure of your patience, take a scattering of multi-colored buttons or rhinestones of different sizes.
Are the beads that have been scattered for a long time stored in the distant box? They will also serve our sweatshirt.
All of the above techniques can be successfully combined and combined. The main thing is not to forget about the sense of proportion and the laws of color combinations. Create, try and have fun! Happy transformation!
