This is a digital, print at home beading & embroidery motif for a great art deco leaf and floral design. The pattern comes with a few different sized, small to large motifs (designed for dresses, coats, bags and other large pieces of fabric) and designs scaled to less than half that size for smaller projects.

The designs include two different V or Round neckline ornaments as well as mini embellishments and two types of borders for hems, cuffs, etc.

This illustrations style was incredibly popular from 1926-1929 and I have based this one on my research which included couture designer versions! If you want to embellish a 1920s evening gown or a modern-day dress with beads or embroidery, this is the pattern for you!

You can print the pages to any scale to work with whatever type of project you'd like to embellish. These motifs are delicate and feminine but would also be wonderful used on any other project as well.

These art deco designs were very popular in the 1920s and look beautiful beaded in black, gold, pearl or iridescent beads. They can also be made with simple backstitch and french knots for embroidery.

Also included is a small lesson on common embroidery stitches.

Once you've printed the designs, use transfer paper, or trace the design with an iron-on transfer pencil. My favorite way to transfer these designs is to print them out, then lay a piece of sewing transfer paper over my fabric. Then I lay the printed design face up, pin it all in place, and trace over the motif with a pen to press it into the fabric. It's fast, easy, and versatile.
