A Face Lift For Your Clothes

Turn your ordinary clothes into the designer pieces and stretch your money by embellishing them yourself. Ribbons, beads, sequins and other easy-to-find trimmings can turn plain clothes into sexy-chic, one-of-a-kind fashion statement. You’ll need some fabric glue, needle and thread or the straight-stitch setting on a sewing machine, besides the trim. Well, don’t worry. Perhaps that your handwork will look amateurish or tacky but the top designers says the trick is choosing just the right extras and embellishments. And if you aren’t handy with a needle and thread, find someone who’s expert in it.
