Embroidery As We Didn't Know It

Last Thursday we got to hear Laure du Pavillion talk about embroidery and the luxury of it all. To be honest I haven’t gave much thought to hand embroidery. But learning there is countless tedious hours going into each piece intrigued me. She mentioned that there isn’t many master hand embroidery companies because of the intense skill set that is needed. So, designers go to the same companies and don’t have staff embroiderers.

This got me thinking... When the whole do it yourself trend hits the mainstream I if hand embroidery will be on board as well. Some people now are doing it themselves such as making clothes, but it is an even smaller market. The possibilities are endless. People now seem to embodier anything they can. I do hope if it does take off that the bad embroidered garments will be kept indoors.
