Charms are everywhere you look these days. You see them dangling from wrists, necklaces and pocketbooks. We thought embroidered charms would be a neat idea. You could embroider the designs on bags, towels and pillowcases, we even had the idea to embroider the chains that would connect them. Then, a funny thing happened, we started seeing charms on clothing! This is a collection that was originally planned as a home décor collection and it still very much is. When the collection was half finished we decided to add some examples on clothing and we think they look spectacular. You will love these designs on your clothes whether you are 12 or 55! The following pages will give you inspiration for home items and clothing. Now, lets talk a little about the designs in the collection. There are 20 different charms in the main part of the collection, with most of the designs having appliqué. We choose bright fabrics along with metallic thread. They are charms after all, and we wanted to try to simulate metal and enamel! Each of the charms comes 4 different ways. They all come in 3 different sizes, approximately 6.25”, 5” and 3.25” versions. The fourth version of each charm is the larger size without the clasp in case you wish to embroider the design on other items without a chain. There are also eight small charms that are approximately 3” tall. To round out the collection we include a variety of chains to connect the charms. There are necklace chains, tunic chains, and connecting chains. We created an assortment of projects for this collection including a towel set, two unique towel bags and an assortment of garments. Since this is a home décor and fashion collection we are including a large assortment of tutorials. The following pages will show you the design colors and projects and project tutorials.
