What is it?-To most of us “couture” means high fashion and rightly so. It’s something special, something elegant. Unfortunately it also often means something expensive and something unreachable for most of us. It’s custom made clothing and accessories made by the most exclusive designers. And often the feature that sets the couture garment apart from the ordinary is the manner of embellishment. A mesmerizing array of decorative threads, sequins and beads applied with infinite creative design adds the zing to the bling. World famous designers and an army of skilled artisans work tirelessly to produce this truly amazing fashion. But what if we’re on the Southwest Airlines A-list instead of the Hollywood A-list? Couture for us? Absolutely! Thanks to Clover’s “Kantan Couture” Bead Embroidery Tool we can apply our own creative vision to any fashion, fashion accessory or home decor item. Subtle metallic thread chain stitching highlighted with pearls or perhaps more dramatic designs filled with brilliant sequins. Or maybe something in between. The Kantan Couture Bead Embroidery Tool allows you to either mimic the top designers or apply your own original embroidery designs. With Clover’s help and the Kantan Couture Bead Embroidery Tool it’s all up to you.
What does it do?- Clover’s Kantan Couture Bead Embroidery Tool and the associated accessories allow us to apply an amazing array of decorative threads, metallic threads, beads and sequins to any sewn product to complete our creative vision.
Kantan Couture Embroidery Tool – This embroidery tool is designed with a comfortable handle that allows easy manipulation of the point. The point of the tool is shaped so that it will easy push through the fabric. The hook portion of the point easily engages your thread and the clasp closes automatically as you pull the thread smoothly back through the fabric. Rinse and repeat until your creative design is accomplished. Replacement hooks are available should one become damaged.
How do I share it? – Everyone loves the “couture” look when they are dressing up or even when they are dressing down. In either case we’re able to establish our own fashion sense and individuality. Create your own couture look on a dress, jacket and hoodie sweatshirt. Put them all on display and demonstrate the full range of possibilities to your friends. That’ll spark their imagination. A quick class demonstrating the basics will give them the beginning skills. After that they will be on automatic developing new skills and looking for new opportunities to use their new found creative potential. When someone asks, “What’s new?” now you’ll have a ready answer.
