With complex or simple embroidery, you are going to decorate your denim jacket, the algorithm of actions will be approximately the same. To get started, select a picture or inscription and decide on which part of the jeans you place it on. The threads can be taken quite thick (for example, a mouline thread in several additions): denim is a rather dense material, and on it embroidery with such threads will look good. If you are going to decorate a new jacket, it should be washed and dried before work: so you will be sure that the fabric does not deform after. You can transfer the pattern for embroidery to the fabric in several ways, more about that below. In this master class, we will consider a rather uncomplicated version of decorating a jeans with embroidery-inscription made with a chain stitch. By the same principle, a more complex embroidery can be made on the jacket.

- needle for embroidery;

- scissors;

- to transfer the embroidery pattern to the fabric, you can use a special water-soluble self-adhesive non-woven, carbon paper, a special disappearing or water-soluble fabric marker or plain paper. The drawing can be printed on a printer, translated manually or drawn on fabric by hand.
