E for Embellishment #2

While I was embellishing my clothes, I began to wonder where I got this passion or talent from because although both my parents were dressmakers, I have never seen them work on embellishments before.


So, one day, I casually asked my mom if she knew anyone in her family who shared the same passion as I. It turned out that my grandmother, her mother, used to earn extra income by embellishing clothes and souvenirs for weddings. I also found out that my grandmother also liked making paper flowers.


So, the saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is false because when it comes to my family, it skipped one generation.


Now that the mystery is solved, I am grateful that I have been given this crafty gift of art.


For this episode, I will showcase an item I bought on the same day as my first embellished dress and the concept is the same ~ I used sequins and beads.
