We all know how much fun it is to customize Oliver + S patterns. It's always exciting to explore new ways to bring these designs to life. One of the most delightful ways to do this is by incorporating ornamentation. Recently, I've noticed a trend of adding pom poms and tassels to clothing and accessories, and it got me thinking—these small embellishments could be a fantastic way to add charm and personality to our favorite patterns. They can give a piece a whimsical, bohemian, or even folk-inspired vibe. Before we dive into some inspiring examples, let’s talk about trims.
For starters, adding pom pom trim is probably the simplest option. You can find pom pom trim easily at most fabric stores, and it’s incredibly easy to sew onto hems. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even make your own yarn pom poms without any special tools—there are plenty of tutorials online to guide you through the process.
If you’re interested in creating your own tassels, there are step-by-step videos available, such as the one on Creativebug featuring Liesl. Alternatively, if you don't have the time or inclination to make your own, there are resources online where you can purchase pre-made fashion tassels and pom poms.
Now, let’s explore some ideas for how to incorporate these playful elements into Oliver + S patterns. Adding a touch of frill can truly elevate a garment, just like the icing on the cake. Here are some creative ways to get started:
1. **Garden Party Dress**: Try adding pom pom trim to the sleeves of the Garden Party Dress, especially if you’re working with a light, airy fabric like cotton crinkle gauze. The result is both playful and elegant.
2. **Swingset Skirt**: Add a pop of charm to a Swingset Skirt by attaching pom poms to the drawstrings at the sides. It’s an easy way to add a personal touch while keeping the design simple.
3. **Hide-and-Seek Dress**: Imagine a Hide-and-Seek dress with pom pom trim along the sleeves and hem, paired with drawstring ties adorned with tassels at the ends. For a more tailored look, consider adding a front placket for an extra touch of style.
4. **Tassel Trimmed Garden Party Dress**: Instead of pom poms, consider trimming the sleeves of the Garden Party Dress with tassels. This version adds a slightly more sophisticated flair while still maintaining the playful spirit.
5. **Tasseled Yoke on Hide-and-Seek**: Transform the yoke of the Hide-and-Seek dress into a showstopper by adorning it with tassels. A blue version of this dress is particularly striking.
6. **Playtime Tunic with Embroidery**: For a sleeveless Playtime Tunic, add tassels to the ends of ties and enhance the look with additional embroidery, such as a blanket stitch around the edges.
7. **Roller Skate Dress with Sequins**: Jazz up a Roller Skate Dress by adding tassels to the bodice and at the ends of ties. Hand-sewing sequins to the bodice adds an extra layer of sparkle.
8. **Garden Party Dress with Tassel Hem**: Another take on the Garden Party Dress is to hem the sleeves and bottom edge with tassels, creating a look that’s both sweet and chic.
9. **Swingset Tunic with Tassel Straps**: Create a unique Swingset Tunic by replacing spaghetti straps with tasseled ties. This design element adds a touch of elegance while keeping the overall aesthetic light and airy.
10. **Swingset Skirt with Tassel Hem**: Finally, imagine a Swingset Skirt with its hem trimmed with tassels. The addition of buttons at the ends of the drawstrings is a thoughtful finishing touch that adds a personal, handmade feel.
These ideas are just the beginning. By experimenting with different trims and embellishments, you can truly make each piece uniquely yours. Whether you opt for pom poms or tassels, the possibilities are endless!
