Embellishment

For other uses, see Embellishment (disambiguation).

In sewing and crafts, an embellishment is anything that adds design interest to the piece.[1]

Embellishments allow individuals to express their personal style and identity. Clothing can be a form of self-expression, and the choice of embellishments can communicate one's personality, taste, and cultural background.

Examples in sewing and craft

Items that normally serve a function may also be used as embellishment. For example:

  • buttons can be placed anywhere on the piece
  • zippers can be unzipped and be used as piping, or simply stitched on
  • buckles can be placed anywhere on the piece
  • grommets can be placed anywhere even when there is no cord is looped through them
  • sequins can be placed anywhere
