Xinrong Curler

Xinrong curler is usually black and is made up of sponge and metal. It is a do-it-yourself tool which helps to quickly shape your hair into Japanese bun and also to apply a classic French twist.

Secure the hair with a rubber band especially if the hair consists of different layers of length.

Pull the hair through the existing gap in the middle of Xinrong curler and press the intervals for further grasp.

Lift the ends of Xinrong curler upwards and roll the hair with it until the end.

Holding both ends of the curler adjust the appropriate tightness as desired and bend both ends into a circular shape. Cover the exposed Xinrong curler with hair with gentle toggle.

A beautiful bun is completed in a short time when the Xinrong curler is finally concealed.

Classic French Twist - Hair is pulled through whirl-a-style slit, roll sideways and snap ends together in the same direction rolled. Roll one more time to hide whirl-a-style.

Carcaille Collar

Carcaille Colar ia a high standing collar with fur edge extending upward towards the ears. It was mainly used on Houppelande (a long outer garment with flared sleeves worn by both men and women during Middle Ages in Europe) and Pour Point (knight wear with padded and quilted doublet worn under the armour).

Twisted Chain Stitch

The twisted chain stitch is a variation of chain stitch with crossed loop. Unlike chain stitch the twisted chain stitch is worked above the adjoining stitch to create a twisting effect.

Bring the needle up at 'a' and go down at 'b' then angle the needle at 'c' pass the working thread over and then under the needle to form a closed loop as you pull through. Continue the pattern till the end of the row and secure the stitch at the end.

Asymmetric Silhouette

Asymmetry refers to absence of balanced proportions between parts of a thing. That is when an imaginary line is drawn vertically in the middle of a garment, each side appears different. Examples in an women's dress include, diagonal hemline, drapes arranged more on one side, single side closing, single shoulder or different trimmings on each side of a dress etc.

Bishop Collar

Bishop Collar is a large, rounded collar extending almost to shoulder seam with squared front edges that extend downwards.

Cable Chain Stitch

Cable Chain Stitch is done in a similar manner to chain stitch but each loop in the chain is separated from the next by a small cable. The Cable Chain Stitch is used as a decorative stitch for straight or curved outlines in hand embroidery.

Bring the needle up at 'a'. Loop the thread around the needle from above to below, insert at 'b' and come up at 'c', before pulling the needle through place the needle's point over the thread and then pull through to create the loop.

Continue working this pattern till the end. Anchor the thread when finished stitching just as any Chain Stitch.

Open Chain Stitch

The Open Chain Stitch is also known as Ladder Stitch, Square Stitch or Roman Chain Stitch. It is used in hand embroidery to outline straight and wavy lines as well as various shapes such as circles. The look of the stitch can be changed by varying the distance between each stitch either by spacing them closely or widely.

Work the Open Chain Stitch between equally spaced dots on two parallel lines with the help of stitch card or other. 

Come up at 'a' and go down at 'b' then angle the needle at 'c' on the lower line over the working thread. Before tightening the loop completely, place your needle at 'd' and pull through. 

Continue the pattern and at the end of the stitch anchor the loop at both at lower and upper end.
