Color can make a difference October 18, 2007

Filed under: Els, Embellishment, sewing — Els @ 2:57 pm

Yesterday my son’s girlfriend showed me her new bought winter coat. It is a nice wool black coat with large black buttons and a funky woven belt.

In my view there was missing something, so I suggested that I could sew the buttons back on but with a matching green from the belt, instead of the original black thread they were sewed on.

Girlfriend thought it was a good idea and see what a different color thread can do.

    Perfect touch, Els! It takes a master’s eye to see that the smallest detail can make a big difference.

    Wow, I had no idea … the color adds just enough funkiness to the coat to make it young, stylish, and match the belt. Must remember this …

    Woooow! Little details like this one make all the difference. The coat looks so much better

    Nice touch! Thanks for that little reminder to think outside the box sometimes.

    It looks so much balanced now with the color thread matching the belt! Great idea, Els!

    I love it! The coat too.

    That worked great, Els! And if it becomes “ho-hum” rather than a statement in the fashion after-life, changing it is a snap. Nice….

    I have the urge to add a little green charm to the zipper pull on the pocket.
