Add Embroidery to Sweaters (Upcycle and Refashion)

This wearable embroidery project from Lauren at Thrift Flip is cute and classy, adding flair in an unexpected place. Whether or not you've even been interested in shoulder pads, you've got to appreciate these shoulder petal embroidered onto a sweater for fall. Choose embroidery thread and a thin-knit sweater, or upgrade to yarn or crochet thread for a thicker knit. This sweater makeover works best with a basic embroidery hoop, sewing the design to one shoulder at a time. If you're feeling extra ambitious, you may just wish to knit your own sweater for the project, in which case you can check out these free sweater patterns.
