This method helps designers stay focussed, work quickly, and future-proof their costumes.\u00a0 This workshop is good for costumers at all skill levels from beginner through professional.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Why Embellish Ribbon?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">When you embellish ribbon first, then apply it to your costume, you&#8217;re actually saving yourself self a lot of time, reducing the stress on your hands, and future-proofing your costume. \u00a0Some of my top reasons for using ribbon as the basis for belly dance costume surface design includes:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Ribbons are easier to hold and manipulate while embellishing than full garments.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Design motifs provide structure and serve as a guide for embellishment placement.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Embellished ribbons are quick to apply to any garment.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Easily change costumes, make size and fitting adjustments.\u00a0 Ribbons are easily removed or replaced.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Ribbons easily cover supporting structures like straps and bands.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Linear motifs are useful for making accessories and creating complete, cohesive looks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Embellished Ribbon: Workshop Organization<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">I will begin this presentation with an introduction followed by about 15 min talking about the usefulness of this design approach. I will dive into the essential hand-sewing tools, design formulas, and a variety of embellishments.\u00a0 Then we will move on, covering key design formulas for layout and design, strategies for using various ribbons and supplies, and sewing tricks to speed up your work. Then we will wrap up the session with examples, hand-sewing tips, and time for Q&amp;As.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/february-design-62889668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>With luck and good fortune, I will be able to share a recording with attendees for future reference.<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Thank you for supporting my work.\u00a0 Perhaps I&#8217;ll see you there!<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Dawn Devine ~ Davina<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>February 20, 2022.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/february-design-62889668\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8972\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2022\/02\/embellished-ribons-2022\/screen-shot-2022-02-21-at-10-47-47-pm-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-21-at-10.47.47-PM-1.png?fit=576%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"576,346\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2022-02-21 at 10.47.47 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-21-at-10.47.47-PM-1.png?fit=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-21-at-10.47.47-PM-1.png?fit=576%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8972 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-21-at-10.47.47-PM-1.png?resize=576%2C346&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"346\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2022\/02\/embellished-ribons-2022\/\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"126\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-22-at-8.44.58-PM.png?fit=150%2C126&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-attachment-id=\"8969\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.davina.us\/blog\/2022\/02\/embellished-ribons-2022\/screen-shot-2022-02-22-at-8-44-58-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-22-at-8.44.58-PM.png?fit=576%2C485&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"576,485\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2022-02-22 at 8.44.58 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-22-at-8.44.58-PM.png?fit=300%2C253&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davina.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-22-at-8.44.58-PM.png?fit=576%2C485&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a><p>Embellished Ribbon Sewing Demo\/Workshop Thursday, February 24th, 5:00 pm Pacific $7 Tier &#8211; Studio Davina Patreon Click here to sign up!
