Embroidery sewing has a long history in fashion and art. And over the last few years, there’s been a steady increase in its popularity as a hobby.

Keep reading to learn more about some of the current top embroidery trends.

1. Embroidered Shirts

This is one of the longest-standing trends in embroidery. Patching holes in clothes is made less obvious when it’s hidden by beautiful embroidery designs.

But current trends aren’t just about patching shirts. With a cultural shift towards making clothes last longer, embroidery is a great way to upgrade and revamp an old shirt. Small designs of flowers or animals are a popular choice and get embroidered all over the shirt to give it a completely new design.

2. Embroidered Hats

An easy way to elevate a hat is by adding your own personal touch to it. Embroidery is a popular way to do this.

Embroidery is gaining popularity with hats because it’s so versatile. It can work on most types of hats or headwear, with a huge range of possible designs.

3. Embroidered Shoes

As more people are growing in the confidence with embroidery and sewing, a new trend that is popping up is embroidering shoes! This is easiest on sneakers with thin material.

Take a pair of plain sneakers, and remove all the laces so you can easily access the material. Then embroider designs into the sides of the shoes. Some people even embroider onto the tongue of the sneaker, although this is going to be hidden behind the laces.

4. Embroidered Bags

Lots of people are taking their bags to the next level with embroidered designs. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for every type of material or bag shape.

But, when it comes to the ones you can embroider, it makes the bag unique. It’s also a great way to complement your outfit and make you stand out.

5. Embroidered Embellishments

Embellishments are fashion items with the sole purpose of catching your attention. These are usually more for decoration than function. They usually feature bright colors or create textures that are different from the rest of the garment.

Embroidery is a new way to add embellishments to clothing and accessories. Embroidered jewelry is showing up more regularly in fashion and art. Using embroidery to accentuate features of clothing, such as the bust on a corset, is also a popular choice.
