Ever wonder what to do with those decorative stitches on your sewing machine? Check out Sabra’s use below.
Good morning! This is Sabra from Sew a Straight Line, showing you my embroidered, autumnal Marigold Dress.
I’ve loved the Marigold Dress design since I first saw it a few months ago. Feminine without being frilly, comfortable without being frumpy. I think it makes the perfect summer dress. But it’s quickly cooling off around here, heading through fall and into winter. I made my Marigold in a medium-weight Essex linen, using the long-sleeve options in the pattern along with the longer skirt option. And friends, let me tell you, the Marigold is also the perfect fall and winter dress! Click here to read more.

What a cool idea! I am always at a loss for how to use all of the decorative stitches on my machine and this is the perfect inspiration!

I rarely use my decorative stitches, either. It was fun to try them out, and I am so happy with the results.

Wow! You knocked it out of the park with this one! Amazing. The fabric choice and then the embellished top stitch is fabulous. Nice tights too! Very inspiring.
