Dense Floral Embroidery on Tulle Turns Clothing into Wearable Bouquets

The more I see embroi­dery on tulle, the more I want to give it a try. I love the illu­sion that it cre­ates; your stitched cre­ations look as though they are float­ing on air. Artist Igna­cia Jul­lian stitch­es col­or­ful blooms on the translu­cent fab­ric, which are often then applied to cloth­ing. The result trans­forms ordi­nary gar­ments into wear­able bou­quets.

Igna­cia hosts hand embroi­dery work­shops that have taught more than 600 women a year how to stitch in her style, which she calls “paint­ing with wool.” To learn more about her class­es, fol­low @borda.
