Lena amps up Lu’s design

June 9, 2010 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

I love, love, love the small-run, custom fabrics of Lu Summers (summersville). Her fanciful rows of motifs combine OCD and whimsy in a way that suits my personality perfectly. And if that weren’t enough, her blog reader Lena used one of Lu’s fabrics as the basis for this embroidered bag. A brilliant demonstration of embellishing a print; and Lena proves that choosing the right print to embellish is the key to gorgeousness. See more on summersville blog.
