Embroidered Lace Trim and Eyelet Lace Trim are excellent ways to add delicate details to any ensemble. Embroidery is the art of adorning fabric by using a needle and thread. The art of embroidery is ancient, and the process in which it is applied has changed very little. Pieces of embroidery have been found in China dating back to the 5th century and in Sweden from roughly 500 AD. But, it is the ancient Greek goddess Athena who is credited with the creation of embroidery, who passed it down to the ancient Grecians. Eyelet lace is typically seen in cotton fabrics, which makes it a great spring and summer fabric. An eyelet is a geometric hole in a fabric, which is typically reinforced with an embroidered edge. Often, they are used for function, like in lace or ribbon, but they can also be used for decorative purposes, especially when they create an all over pattern.
